Do you live in a really warm/hot area? and did it happen on a hot day?Hello,
I am on my 2nd Controller for my Lectric XP bike (9 month ownership, 5 month actual use ... 400 miles). I am not an extreme user, the bike simply shows a E-009 code and the engine stops (happened both times when I was riding uphill and the controller never recovered. I am waiting for my next controller in the mail from Lectric folks) --
Anyone else seeing issues with these controllers ? (Brushless Moter Controller Model: X031-AB001B)
Regards,
Nima
I meant to post this to you mriege not NimaI got the same problem and my second controller just died. Fortunately, Lectric is very responsive and will send me another one. They are aware of the controller problem and are "working on improving the controller in the future," but for now just suggest to stay on PAS 2 when going up steep hills, zig zagging slowly up the hill. However, a dying controller when going up steep hills is a deal breaker for an electric bike and not using the bike's performance but crawling up the hill is not a solution. Hopefully they'll come up with a better controller that can handle steep hills soon.
They have it for $70 + $5 tax so $75. Mine was free tho.Wondering how much replacement controllers will cost once these bikes are out of warranty?
Ok guys I put in a new controller and that fixed everything. So I opened up my old one and see that it was wet. But I have never ridden it in the rain. Do you guys think it’ll still work when it gets dried out?
DavidBrandNew has a video of upgrading the controller to a much beefier 1500 watt model. Pretty serious job, much wiring hackage, used a different battery, warranty completely voided. But he got it to work. Caveat diyer.been waiting for my 2 controllers for about 6 weeks now.. anyone know what controller number or any other vendor?
There was a group of 2.0 bikes that all had controller issues and it has nothng to do with the settings. Some are just bad from the factory in China and most are the newer bikes. My guess is QC issues in China.Just curious if the controller issues are happening with XPs whose owners have modified them to go from 20 to 28? I am hesitant to monkey with the settings at this point and have been perfectly happy going 20 mph...
