Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a detailed table of common problems, their causes, and solutions, categorized by general issues and battery-specific issues.
- General Problems:
- No power, "Start" not on: Poor battery connection, kill switch off. Solution: Connect power cable, turn on kill switch.
- Power on, turning handlebar, motor not work: Low battery, side stand on, parking mode, brake handle not in right position, throttle error, loose controller plug, controller breakdown. Solution: Charge battery, kick out side stand, press parking button, place brake handle correctly, change throttle, re-plug controller, replace controller.
- Speed slow or mileage short: Low battery, flat tire, heavily overloaded, worn brake pads, battery aging. Solution: Charge battery, inflate tires, maintain appropriate load, replace brake pads, replace battery.
- Battery cannot be charged: Poor charger plug contact, wrong charger used, battery aging. Solution: Check plug, use SOCO charger, replace battery.
- Instrument Error Codes (e.g., Error 99-86): Indicate various issues like controller communication error, controller stops (over current/voltage/temperature), controller power tube error, Hall sensor error, throttle error, battery communication error, charging over current/voltage, battery high/low temperature, discharge over current/voltage, internet connection error, GPS connection error. Solutions typically involve contacting after-sales service or dealer, parking for a while, checking connections, or adjusting charging/storage conditions.
- Battery Status Errors:
- Battery no power, "Start" not on (before use): Low battery. Solution: Charge battery.
- Power off with low battery (in use): Low battery, under voltage protection. Solution: Charge battery.
- Discharge, low temperature (Error 88): Store battery and motorcycle in a warm indoor place.
- Discharge, over current (Error 90): Stop riding, wait for a moment.
- Battery at high temperature (Error 91): Stop charging/riding, let battery cool.
- Battery communication error (Error 94): Check battery connector, contact service.
- Capacity drops after night/day: CPU, controller, warning devices consume battery (normal). Solution: Use normally.
- Mileage different from official: Due to road conditions, weather, temperature, wind drag, load. Solution: Contact service for questions.
- "Power" not on (storage): Battery stored too long, low battery. Solution: Charge battery, contact service if unable to charge.
- Charging, low temperature (Error 89): Take out battery, charge in warm indoor place.
- Charging, over voltage (Error 92): Stop charging, check charger.
- Charger hot during charging: Normal due to large current and heat emission. Solution: Use normally in dry, ventilated place.
- Battery flooding: Water spray/immersion. Solution: Stop using, contact service.
- Battery case break down: Impact/fall damage. Solution: Stop using, contact service.
