As the concept of green travel in cities becomes more and more popular, electric bicycles, as an environmentally friendly and efficient means of transportation, are favored by more and more consumers. However, in daily use, electric bicycles will inevitably have some minor faults. If you can master some basic inspection methods, you can not only save maintenance costs, but also improve riding safety. This article will introduce you in detail how to troubleshoot common faults of electric bicycles by yourself from multiple aspects, helping you to quickly locate the problem and deal with it reasonably.

Electric bicycle can't start? Check these key points first

When you press the start button but find that the electric bicycle has no response, you might as well start from the following aspects:

Battery power and connection status

Checking whether the battery power is sufficient is the first step. If the power is exhausted, the electric bicycle will naturally not run. At the same time, check whether the battery plug is loose or corroded to ensure that the connection is firm.

Is the power switch and line normal?

Some models have multiple power control points, such as the main power switch, key power, button switch, etc., which need to be confirmed one by one. In addition, check whether the power line is broken, aged or short-circuited.

Controller and motor status

If the power supply and battery are normal, but it still cannot start, it may be that the controller or motor is faulty. For this type of problem, it is recommended to contact professionals or after-sales service of the electric bicycle mall for further inspection.

Sudden power outage during riding? It may be a line problem

Common causes of power outage during riding of electric bicycles include poor contact, circuit aging or controller failure:

Check whether the battery and controller connection cables are firmly fixed.

Check whether the surface of the cable is worn and whether the internal circuit is short-circuited or open-circuited.

If the problem occurs frequently, it is recommended to replace the aging harness or upgrade the controller.

How to check if the brake system of an electric bicycle fails?

Safety issues cannot be ignored. Brake failure is a serious hidden danger. The following are common causes and self-checking methods:

Mechanical brake inspection

Observe whether the brake line is too loose or broken, and whether the brake pad is worn to the limit. Timely replacement of the brake pad and adjustment of the brake line tension are effective solutions.

Electronic brake system

Some high-end electric bicycles are equipped with electronic brakes. If the brake function fails, it may be that the electronic brake switch or sensor is damaged. You can go to the electric bicycle mall or after-sales center to replace it.

Is the battery life of electric bicycles shorter? Is battery attenuation the main reason?

With the increase of use time, it is normal for the battery capacity to decay. If the battery life of an electric bicycle is significantly reduced, it can be analyzed from the following perspectives:

Whether it is frequently ridden at high speed or under load;

Whether a non-original charger is used, resulting in uneven battery charging;

Whether the battery has been used for more than two years, it is recommended to regularly check the battery health.

Flywo Electric Bicycle Mall supports high-performance lithium battery wholesale and retail, and adopts the international standard BMS battery management system to ensure the safety of each charge.

The dashboard or lighting system is abnormal, don't ignore these details

The dashboard is not lit

In most cases, it is a line problem or the display is damaged. You can check whether there is water stains entering the circuit, or try to replace the fuse.

The lighting system is abnormal

The headlights and brake lights are usually not lit because the bulbs are burned out or the circuit contact is poor. Check whether the bulbs and lamp holders are aging, and clean the dust to ensure that the light source is bright.

Is the motor making unusual noises or stuck? Deal with it as soon as possible to extend its service life

The motor is the "heart" of the electric bicycle. Once there are unusual noises or uneven rotation, be alert to the following problems:

Bearing damage or poor lubrication;

Foreign objects have entered the motor;

The motor coil or magnet is abnormally displaced.

Some problems can be solved by cleaning or adding lubricants. If they cannot be eliminated, it is recommended to order original motor replacement parts through the Flywo Electric Bicycle Mall.

Conclusion: Master basic troubleshooting and ride more safely

Mastering basic electric bicycle troubleshooting skills will not only help extend the life of the vehicle, but also improve the safety and convenience of daily travel. Of course, for complex faults, it is still recommended to contact professionals for repair in a timely manner.
