High severity Service soon

Can I ride home with this error?

Ride with caution. Ride with pedal power only; stop if the motor pulls on its own.

Symptoms

  • Motor stops

How to fix it

  1. Check the throttle connector.
  2. Switch the bike off, wait 10 seconds and switch it on again.
  3. If the code stays, take the bike to your dealer or an e-bike repair shop.
