What It Means
The "Throttle Voltage" error indicates that the voltage from the throttle is exceeding normal operating parameters. This could result in erratic motor performance or prevent the bike from functioning correctly. This error is specific to Pedego's Element electric bike.
Possible Causes
- The throttle on the handlebar is malfunctioning.
- A short circuit in the throttle cable or controller's throttle detection circuit.
- Faulty electrical grounding related to the throttle.
How to Fix It
- Inspect the throttle – Check the throttle for visible damage or signs of wear. Ensure that it is not stuck or obstructed.
- Test the throttle connection – Unplug and re-seat the throttle cable to ensure a secure connection.
- Replace the throttle – If the error persists, replace the throttle with a new one.
Preventive Measures
- Regularly inspect the throttle and its cable for damage or wear.
- Keep the throttle area clean and free from dirt or debris.
- Avoid straining or bending the throttle cable excessively.
When to Contact a Pedego Technician
If troubleshooting does not resolve the error, contact a Pedego technician to inspect the throttle, cables, and controller. Advanced testing may be required to diagnose electrical faults within the controller.
