Switch off and let it cool

Use an easier gear on climbs

In plain English

The motor has reached its maximum safe temperature, and the system has cut power to protect it. After a long or hard ride, letting it cool is the fix. If it happens without much riding, something is wrong and a shop should check it.

Step-by-step checklist

Work from the top. Steps go from free and easy to shop jobs. Switch the bike off before touching any connector. Tick each step as you go. Your progress is saved on this device.

1Switch off and let it coolFree Turn the system off and give the motor time to cool down before riding again.
2Use a lower assist levelFree Drop to a lower assist level, especially on long climbs, so the motor and controller work less hard.
3Use an easier gear on climbsFree Shift to an easier gear before hills and pedal more. The motor works less hard and stays cooler.
4Check that the wheels spin freelyFree Lift each wheel and spin it by hand. Grinding, dragging or a rubbing brake makes the motor work harder.
5Have the motor testedShop job If the cable and connector look fine, a shop can test the motor's wiring and sensors. Opening a motor or working on its high-current wires is a shop job.
