An official-style, easy-to-follow guide to understand what the codes mean, how to check connections, and when to contact VTUVIA support.

Quick reminder: Most issues are caused by loose, misaligned, or contaminated connectors. Power the bike off before unplugging/plugging any cables, and reconnect waterproof plugs straight and firmly until fully seated.

Quick Reference

Error Code Area Primary Action
E02 Brake Check brake-lever connectors; replug and confirm code clears.
E06 Battery Charge 5–6 hours; confirm seating; measure voltage; contact support if needed.
E07 Motor Inspect motor ↔ controller plugs; verify pins; replug; check cable damage.
E08 Throttle Check/replug throttle cable; replace throttle if issue persists.
E09 Controller Replace controller.
E10 / E11 Communication Replug display, sensor, and brake-lever connectors; contact support if unresolved.
E12 BMS Repair BMS.
E13 Front Light Replace front light.

Tip: After unplugging a component, if the error disappears and then returns after reconnection, the issue is likely in that component or its wiring.

E02 — Brake Issues

Safety-critical

What it indicates: The display detects a brake signal problem (often a lever connector or sensor signal held “on”).

Steps to check

  1. Inspect the brake-lever connectors (left and right) for full seating, moisture, or debris.
  2. Power off. Unplug one brake-lever connector (left or right), then power on to see if the code clears.
  3. If the code clears, the unplugged side is likely the cause. If not, test the other side.
  4. Replug the waterproof connector straight and firmly until fully seated.

Ride note: Do not ride until the brake error is resolved and both brakes function normally.

E06 — Battery Issues

What it indicates: Low battery level, installation/connection issue, or abnormal voltage.

Steps to check

  1. Check the battery level and charge for 5–6 hours.
  2. Confirm the battery is correctly seated and locked in place.
  3. Use a voltage meter to measure battery voltage; compare with rated specs.
  4. If the error persists after charging and reseating, contact VTUVIA support.
Tip: Make sure battery contacts are clean and dry. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto electrical interfaces.

E07 — Motor Issues

What it indicates: Motor connection fault, damaged pins, or cable damage between motor and controller.

Steps to check

  1. Inspect the motor and controller connectors for full seating and contamination.
  2. Power off. Unplug the motor ↔ controller plugs and check for bent or deformed pins.
  3. Power on with the motor unplugged to see if the code clears, then power off again.
  4. Replug the motor cable carefully, aligning the arrows/keys and pins properly.
  5. If the error persists, inspect the motor cable along its length for cuts, kinks, or crush damage.
  6. Still not working? Contact VTUVIA support.

E08 — Throttle Issues

What it indicates: Throttle signal out of range or connection fault.

Steps to check

  1. Check the throttle connector at the handlebar junction box/front harness.
  2. Power off, unplug the throttle cable, then power on to see if the code clears.
  3. Power off and replug the throttle cable fully. Test throttle response carefully.
  4. If the issue remains, replace the throttle.

Safety: After any throttle work, test the bike on a stand or open space before normal riding.

E09 — Controller Issues

What it indicates: Internal controller fault.

Resolution

Replace the controller. If you need guidance on compatibility or installation, please contact VTUVIA support.

E10 / E11 — Communication Issues

What it indicates: Data/communication problem between display, sensors, controller, or brake levers.

Steps to check

  1. Display: Power off, unplug and replug the front waterproof display cables; power on and check.
  2. Sensor(s): Unplug and replug the sensor connectors (e.g., speed/assist sensor) and test again.
  3. Brake levers: Unplug/replug left and right brake lever connectors one at a time to isolate the source.
  4. If the issue persists, contact VTUVIA support.
If the code clears when a specific component is unplugged, that component or its wiring is likely the root cause.

E12 — BMS Communication Issues

What it indicates: The Battery Management System (BMS) is not communicating properly with the controller/display.

Resolution

Repair the BMS. Please reach out to VTUVIA support for diagnosis and service options.

E13 — Front Light Issues

What it indicates: Front light not detected or malfunctioning.

Resolution

Replace the front light. Inspect the light connector first; if secure and the issue persists, proceed with replacement.

Helpful Habits to Prevent Errors

  • Power off before connecting/disconnecting any cables.
  • Keep connectors dry and clean; align arrows/keys and push straight together until fully seated.
  • After service or transport, do a 60-second function check: brakes, throttle, assist, lights.
  • Charge the battery in a dry, ventilated area and ensure it clicks/locks in place on the bike.

Good practice

Need More Help?

If an error code remains after you’ve followed the steps above, or if you notice damaged connectors/cables, please contact VTUVIA support. We’re here to help you get back to a safe and enjoyable ride.

Safety first: If you are unsure about any electrical or braking component, do not continue riding until the issue is resolved.
