The picture of the LCD you have shown is displaying tr for trip mileage.Hello, only a few days ago I bought "Focus Thron Impulse" from 50cycles, but today after 10km journey something happened. When I turn it on the LCD display says calibrating like usual but then it displays what looks like "Er" - error I presume. Pedelec function does not work and it will not give any power, but everything else works fine, even the push assist works fine. I tried re fitting the battery many times, but the problem still exists. While I wait for 50cycles to get back to me with their tech guy I thought I might ask if anyone got a clue about the problem? This happened when I first got the bike before my first journey it would not calibrate properly, but after I sat on the bike it seemed to work fine. I did not ride on rainy/wet conditions. Since it's really hard to get to any cabling I cant check much myself. Took a picture of the LCD panel and underneath the bike, maybe someone can give me some advice. Thanks.View attachment 8748 View attachment 8749
No problem, it took me a while to find out what does what on this bike. I have to say for a bike costing this much you would expect a proper manual. If there is anything else I can help with please don't hesitate to ask.thanks, everything works now, thanks for letting me know what that means.
( feels silly now)
Thanks! I would also love if they would include a manual for the motor, but I guess they don't want you messing with it.No problem, it took me a while to find out what does what on this bike.

I'm not sure how water resistant the display is, there is some information available at manuals.derby-cycle.com/manuals/focus/en_focus_2013_20140131_05.pdfThanks! I would also love if they would include a manual for the motor, but I guess they don't want you messing with it.
What about the LCD display, is it weather resistant enough? I'm afraid to ride during heavy rain and also I noticed you cant take it off.
That looks highly suspicious to me Dominic.I agree about a manual, you seem to have to work thing sour yourself. After a ride today, I found this cable sticking out and am not sure if it is meant to be attached to something or not ?
Seems like a reasonable explanation. As long as everything is working ok then there is nothing to worry about.Got to the bottom of this. Underneath the drive unit is a rubber seal which protects the compartment where the wires and connectors etc are housed. This does not actually fit that well and can open up when the bike is being bounced about a bit. (I will be adding some waterproof tape to mine) This wire had popped out of that compartment. I am told by 50cycles that although they are not 100% sure what it is for, it is meant to be like that and not meant to be connected to anything and it is probably used for programming by the factory when assembling the bike.
