Lectric XP4, XPeak 2 and XP Trike 2: E010 or E011 display communication failure

E010 and E011 on the XP4, XPeak 2 and XP Trike 2 mean the display isn't receiving from or sending to the controller. Lectric's fix is the display quick plug, then a shop for the display or controller.

Battery and electrical safety. Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire if they're damaged or charged wrong. Never open a battery pack, and stop using any battery that's swollen, hot, wet or smells burnt. Every edit to this page is checked by a second person before it goes live.

Your Lectric XP4, XPeak 2 or XP Trike 2 shows E010 or E011 and the bike won't ride under power, or the display acts up. Lectric's manuals for all three list E010 as a display communication reception failure and E011 as a display communication send failure, and give the same first fix for both: check the display quick plug (XP4 manual, XPeak 2 manual, XP Trike 2 manual). The short answer: the display and controller have lost their data link, and the display cable or its quick plug is the first suspect.

This page touches display wiring to the controller. Power off and turn the battery key off before any check, and leave anything past reseating plugs to Lectric support or a shop. Lectric's XP Trike 2 manual says not to open the display yourself.

Most likely cause

The display and controller swap data constantly. Lectric's quick plug guide says the cables and quick plugs carry signals between each part and the controller, and that a check of those connections is the place to start with technical issues. The XP4 manual's won't turn on steps also name the display and button pad quick plugs.

Other causes to rule out

  • Water in a plug. Lectric's water resistance article gives IP ratings for these models but says the electrical parts are not waterproof. See e-bike got wet.
  • A cable pinched or stretched at the handlebar after a fold, fall or bar adjustment.
  • A failed display or controller. Other makers' service manuals use the same order for a display communication code: the plug first, then the display, then the controller only if needed. Segway's E2 Pro self-test manual is one example.
  • A different code meaning. Lectric's XPress and XP Lite 2.0 manuals list display and throttle faults under different numbers, so read your own table. Also see Lectric XP E008.

How to confirm

  1. Write down which code shows, E010 or E011.
  2. Power off and turn the key off.
  3. Starting at the display, follow its cable to the first quick plug. Lectric's won't turn on article says to start at the handlebars and follow each cable to its quick plugs.
  4. Pull the plug straight apart without twisting. Look inside both halves for bent pins, dirt or moisture.
  5. Push it back together with the arrows lined up until it is fully seated.
  6. Do the same for the button pad plug on the XP4, which the manual names.
  7. Look along the display cable for kinks or cuts, especially where it bends at the stem.
  8. Power on. If the code stays, contact Lectric support with your photos.

Fix options

Reseat the display quick plug (easy)

Lectric's first fix for both codes.

Replace the display (moderate, through Lectric support)

If the plug and cable are fine, the display itself may have failed. Lectric's parts page mostly lists batteries and chargers, so ask support for the correct display for your model.

Replace the cable or controller (pro)

A damaged cable inside the harness, or a controller fault, needs a shop. Lectric's service network page asks owners to contact support before a partner shop.

Parts

  • E-bike connectors
  • E-bike display
  • Main cable (wiring harness)
  • E-bike controller (pro only)

Videos

Lectric Service Center: XP Quickplug Check from Lectric eBikes: Walks through unplugging and checking the quick connect plugs on the cable run, where a loose or bent pin often breaks the link to the display.
Lectric Service Center: XP4 Wiring Harness Replacement from Lectric eBikes: Swaps the main plug-in wiring harness on an XP4, the part Lectric support sends when a connector check does not clear a display fault.

When to get a pro

Get help for bent pins, water inside the plug, a damaged cable, or a code that returns after reseating. See display blank or flickering, Lectric eBikes troubleshooting and when to call a pro.
