Just a quickie. Took the e-mtb up to the local trail, Nant yr Arian. First time I turned it on error code 1. Turned it off and on a couple of times then rode off. 10 mile no problems.
Looked it up in the book when I got home it says it means throttle error. I didn't actually fit the throttle, just taped it all up water proofed and left.
I've done 500 odd miles no problem, and so if it's working shall I just put it down to another chinese electric quirk or is there a possible cause I should check...?

Double check the connector hasn't got moisture in it, any green staining caused by the copper pins may cause the error if a short is caused to the 5v pin.

Glued 3:1 heat shrink would be a better option to cover the julet end leave 5mm or so over the end and press it tight when warmed to leave a small flat end or bend it down before it cools.
