What to do if EBS (electronic brake shut-off) error appears on Ride1up CORE-5 Scooter?
If you're encountering EBS (electronic brake shut-off) issues on your Ride1up Scooter, it's likely due to a magnet sensor problem. Disconnect the electronic brake shut-offs. This often occurs after a crash or if the scooter is dropped.
Why does my Ride1up Scooter show a communication error?
If your Ride1up Scooter displays a communication error, it means the display isn't receiving vital information due to a connection problem between the internal controller and the display.
What to do if Ride1up CORE-5 shows motor communication error?
If your Ride1up Scooter shows a motor communication error, check the motor cable connection point by the chainstay, and where the motor cable connects to the internal controller. The wire might be disconnected or damaged, reconnect the motor cable.
How to fix throttle abnormality on Ride1up Scooter?
If you are experiencing throttle abnormality with your Ride1up Scooter, remove any obstructions. Inspect the throttle and throttle cable for any damage, such as cuts or frayed cables.
What to do if Ride1up Scooter shows current abnormality?
If you are getting a 'Current Abnormality' error on your Ride1up Scooter, it indicates that the battery is not supplying the required voltage to power the display and motor. You can use the display to view the real-time voltage being output from the battery, or check it with a multimeter. If the battery is old and has been charged/discharged many times, it might need replacing.
What to do if my Ride1up Scooter has motor sensor malfunction?
If you're experiencing a motor sensor issue with your Ride1up Scooter, check the cable that connects the rear hub motor to the rest of the system. Ensure it's free from grit or contaminants and is firmly connected. This error might appear if you don’t reconnect the cable after removing the rear wheel.

The provided document is an owner's manual for the Ride1Up CORE-5 e-bike, offering comprehensive instructions for assembly, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Ride1Up CORE-5 is an electric bicycle designed for use on paved roads and smooth surfaces. It provides pedal assist (PAS) with multiple levels and a throttle for additional power, making cycling easier and more accessible. The e-bike is equipped with a motor, battery, and display unit to manage its electrical functions. It is intended for riders aged 18 and older and has a maximum permitted overall weight (rider + cargo) of 300 lbs.
Assembly and Initial Setup: The manual guides users through the assembly process, starting with the fork and headset. It emphasizes checking cable and wire routing, ensuring the fork is correctly oriented (brake caliper on the left), and properly seating the compression ring and headset spacers. The stem and handlebars are then installed, with a critical warning to tighten the bar clamp and compression cap correctly to prevent movement and ensure safety.
Next, the front wheel assembly involves aligning the disc rotor between the brake pads and securing the axle nuts to 35nm of torque. Users are warned not to touch brake pads or rotors with fingers to avoid contamination and noise.
The seat post assembly requires opening the seat clamp, inserting the seat post past the minimum insertion point, and then adjusting the height before tightening the clamp. For models where the seat post and saddle are separate, the saddle is slid into the seat post clamp, and the bolt is tightened to 16-17nm, ensuring proper groove alignment.
Pedal assembly involves applying grease to the bottom bracket spindles. The left pedal (marked "L") is reverse-threaded and installed counterclockwise, while the right pedal (marked "R") is standard-threaded and installed clockwise. Both should be screwed in by hand initially and then tightened with an adjustable wrench. A crucial note highlights that using the correct pedal on the correct side is vital to prevent stripping the crank arm.
Battery Operation: The battery is connected and removed by inserting the key, turning it clockwise 90 degrees, and then pulling out the battery. When replacing, the key should be in the same position before turning it to lock. The battery's charger port is on the upper right and must always be covered to protect against moisture.
Charging the Battery: Charging involves turning off the bike and LCD, plugging the charger into a socket, and then inserting the charger plug into the battery. Users are advised to ensure the charger's tip is not stressed or supporting the charger's weight and not to wiggle it. The battery's LED lights indicate charging status: red for charging and green for fully charged. Charging typically takes 3-6 hours with the standard charger. Important safety warnings include not leaving the battery unattended while charging, not storing batteries connected to the charger, and not wiggling the charger tip in the port. The battery should be charged in an ambient temperature, on a non-flammable, dry surface, away from heat, humidity, or flammable materials, and uncovered.
Display Instructions (KD21C LCD): The display unit provides information such as battery voltage (indicated by 3 colors: blue for full, green for half or less, red for low), speed, mileage, and assist level.
Derailleur and Shifter Adjustment: The manual notes that derailleurs may need tuning after initial assembly or after some miles of riding, especially if shifting is noisy, not smooth, or the chain shifts past the largest or smallest cog. It highlights the critical importance of properly adjusting the low and high limit screws to prevent the chain from damaging the derailleur, hanger, motor cable, spokes, and rim, especially given the motor's power.
Brake Adjustment: After assembly, both front and rear brakes must be tested and adjusted. The front wheel and brake caliper installation can affect disc brake rubbing. Users should align the disc rotor in the exact middle between the pads while tightening axle nuts. If the disc rotor is bent (common during shipping), it can sometimes be trued or replaced.

Brake Maintenance:
Spoke Tension: The manual provides a table with recommended spoke tensions (in KGS and Park tools units) for the front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right spokes, indicating the importance of maintaining proper spoke tension for wheel integrity.
Troubleshooting: The manual includes an error code troubleshooting section for electrical components. If an error code appears on the display, users can refer to the list to identify the source of the error and potential solutions. For example:
Warranty Claims: The warranty covers product defects present at the time of handover for one year. It does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, accidents, or modifications. For shipping damage, Ride1UP will file a claim and send replacement parts. For other warranty claims, owners must send an email with photos/videos to support@ride1up.com. After 30 days, owners are responsible for labor costs for warranty part replacements.
