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.
This page covers the Ride1Up Vorsa. Its display shows a fault as a two digit number, and some numbers mean something different than on other Ride1Up bikes: on the Vorsa, 25 is a torque sensor error. The list follows Ride1Up's Vorsa table (Ride1Up Vorsa codes).
A code that points at the motor, controller, wiring or battery is an electrical fault. Do only the plug checks on this page, with the bike off and the battery removed, and leave opening the motor, controller or battery, soldering or rewiring to a pro or the maker's support. See battery won't charge and when to call a pro.
Codes
- Error 07: over voltage protection, the battery is sending too much voltage to the controller. Ride1Up's check is battery and charger voltage, a shop test.
- Error 08: motor hall signal wire failure, the cable may be damaged, unplugged or loose. What to check
- Error 09: motor phase wire failure, same cable causes as 08. What to check
- Error 11: controller temperature sensor failure or the controller reached its limit. Switch off to cool; if it stays, the controller needs checking.
- Error 12: current sensor failure, the battery is supplying too much current. The controller and battery need checking.
- Error 14: motor reached its maximum temperature. Switch off to cool; if it stays, the motor needs checking.
- Error 21: speed sensor failure, the sensor in the motor or its wiring is damaged. Check the motor wiring.
- Error 25: torque sensor error, the bottom bracket torque sensor isn't talking to the controller. The controller or sensor needs checking.
- Error 30: communication failure, a part can't talk to the controller. Check the wiring and controller plugs.
Before you call a shop
- Watch the display when the problem happens. Ride1Up notes codes may show only briefly, and the number is the most useful thing you can give support.
- Pull over, switch the bike off, wait about five minutes and restart, which is Ride1Up's first step for an overworked system.
- With the bike off, check that the throttle springs back and both brake levers return fully.
- Follow the motor cable from the rear wheel to its plug near the chainstay and make sure it is aligned and fully seated, especially after a flat or wheel removal.
- If the code stays, send Ride1Up support photos or video of the problem and a list of the checks you've done.
