E1 Error CodeUpdated 6 days ago
Description
The scooter displays an E1 error indicating a fault in the brake sensor circuit. This is most commonly caused by a damaged, pinched, or disconnected brake lever or regenerative (regen) brake sensor wire, often after handlebar adjustments or a fall.
Symptoms
- E1 error shown on the display.
- Brake light flashes continuously or stays on.
- Mechanical brake works, but regen braking may be intermittent or disabled.
- Throttle may be inhibited while the error is active.
Possible Causes
- Brake lever or regen throttle cable pulled, pinched, or sharply bent during adjustment.
- Impact damage from a fall affecting the lever or its connector.
- Internal conductor break at high-flex points (near the lever pivot or cable exit).
Solution
The E1 error is typically cleared by repairing or replacing the brake sensor wiring or component.
- Replace the damaged brake lever or regen unit (recommended first-line fix)
- Perform a careful DIY wire repair if the lever is otherwise intact and you are experienced with electronics
- If multiple cables/components are damaged, replace the entire handlebar assembly
Troubleshooting Steps
- Inspect both brake lever and regen wires from lever to connector; look for kinks, cuts, or exposed conductors.
- Unplug and reseat the lever/regen connector; check for bent pins, moisture, or corrosion and clean if needed.
- Temporarily disconnect one brake sensor at a time and power on; if E1 clears, the disconnected component is faulty.
- If visible wire damage exists, replace the affected lever/regen unit or perform a wire repair.
- If E1 persists after replacements, inspect the handlebar harness for damage and consider replacing the entire assembly.
