Panda bikes, OK I had some success with the tips you've provided. Basically if I force the "walk mode" on, then use the throttle I get it all working. So I can assume that the PAS is broken, probably some intermittent fault. However that said, I was commuting yesterday, just using the throttle and then all power ceased. I think this is much more terminal. I would assume I need a new controller now aswell. I have emailed 4 days ago and I'm still waiting for your 24 hour response. I'd happily buy some replacement parts, but knowing where to go to match the connectors is the issue?

Thanks for the comments, the earliest I can test is in a few days. All sounds feasible if I can get access to the insides of the controller.

They are all moulded connectors with arrows to ensure you line everything up, my guess they are 99% waterproof. There are some basic bullet connectors to the battery but the rest are all moulded.

Thanks for the comments, I'll get drying.. The LCD is getting misty on the inside too, so the bag of rice would help there. I will update in a few days if it worked or not.

Hi, I have an issue with a Panda ebike kit. It's around 11 months old, and was getting used 3 times a week in that time, roughly doing 300 miles a month. After a good douse of rain the hub motor stopped running. the kit has 2 brake sensors, an LCD display, a PAS sensor (King Meter) and throttle. It's a 36V 250W setup. I tried disconnecting the brake sensors and throttle, then just pedalling normally, and I get no power. I've also fiddled with the PAS sensor (how close to the adjacent part) and that makes no difference. I also tried just having the throttle attached, with brakes and PAS disconnected, again no power. (The throttle used to work, however you'd need to be pedalling first before it became active) Do you think my controller is broken? It's a KT36ZWSR-F19N (max current 15A) Or maybe there's a fault with the LCD? The display is all showing correctly. Any tips on further fault finding?

Good point! What thread / forum area is suited for that? (I don't want to post on this thread since it's about Panda)

I am still having issues getting any response from Oliver regarding an issue with the controller on my kit. I was getting sporadic response last week (try this / try that etc), but now it's gone to radio silence. This is slightly annoying since I'm still in warranty after 10 months and around 3000 miles usage, having to commute under my own steam (I swapped out the hub at least) reminds me of the effort to get up the hills and go into a headwind! If I get no response I'll have to find a compatible controller. Shame really, I had terrific service initially when I bought the kit, mainly to get the hub front wheel clearance sorted out.
