Bafang error code

Bafang error 10: Motor too hot

Medium severity When convenient

Can I ride home with this error?

Ride with caution. You can pedal gently without assist while the motor cools.

What it means

The motor has got too hot, often after a long climb, and the system cuts power to protect it. Bafang says to stop and let it rest.

Likely causes

  • Long or steep climb
  • Heavy load in high assist
  • Hot weather

Symptoms

  • Code 10 shows
  • Assist reduced or cut off

How to fix it

  1. Stop and switch the system off.
  2. Let the bike cool down for a while.
  3. Use a lower assist level and an easier gear on long climbs.
  4. If the code shows when the motor is cool, take the bike to your dealer.
