Evo Cross won't turn on

[Aaron]

Hi all,

I came back from a two week vacation today and found that my bike won't turn on. When I hold the power button the screen blinks on and then goes blank. I charged overnight and the charger shows green so it isn't that the battery ran out. I was careful to leave the battery at about 70% before I left.

Just wondering if anyone here has run into this and has some ideas before I bring the bike into the shop this weekend.

Thanks!

First check the battery itself, press on the button on the battery underside to see how many lights come on. I recommend you fully charge the battery if possible.

Then, make sure the battery is properly seated in the downtube and locked.

This happened to me and I think the cause was my battery was not touching all the sensors it needed to on one end of the downtube, so I removed the battery, put it back on and gave it a little smack to make sure it was fully engaged, then locked and removed the key. Turn on the bike when it's not moving at all. That solved it for me.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Looks like reseating the battery did the trick. Thanks PowerMe!

Glad that worked! Happy trails!
