Alpino - 6mph problem

Featured Replies

Bike has let me down.

 

Power delivery pulses once I reach 6 kmp

It then cuts out as if the battery is low - but there is no warning codes flash on dash.

 

Battery is fully charged

 

When I switch on I get the 4 full charge lights. Usually charge up when dash shows 2 charge lights

 

When I use the hand throttle the bike pulls away fine with power delivery as normal untill 6kph when it switches off power and just gives me pulses of power On/Off

 

Can I reset something?

That's how it's supposed to be. Was it always like that or did you attempt to change the speed limit?

Didn't know you could change the speed limit.

Can i reset the speed limit? How?

 

No - the bike was never like this from new.

Problem started this morning and was noticeable immediately.

 

Yesterday - you twisted the throttle without pedaling and the bike would pull up to full speed. Also when you pedaled it would assist thro' the speed range.

 

Now it cuts out at anything over 6kmh - either pedalling or using the twist grip

Symptoms similar to flat(ish) battery cutting out but without warning indicators showing.

 

Hope it is an easy fix by pressing a few buttons on the dash.

 

Edit......have I pressed a few buttons on the dash by mistake to cause this problem?

Light pedaling with no twist grip action and I get pulses of power

 

Using the twist grip I get smooth power until I reach 6kmh then switching off/no power but after a short time (a few seconds) it is back to pulses of power

 

LCD display is slow to indicate actual speed and can sit at 2kmh at rest then to zero

 

LCD display top horizontal bar only has gone from speedo reading- ie 2-3-5-7-8 and 9 is missing

 

Really miss the smooth power delivery that the bike once had. Helps me up those wee hills.

Anyone have a fix to this bike problem?

Do you have the manual for the LCD display. Without knowing the exact LCD you have apparently holding down the 'set' and 'down' buttons together may show any error codes.

Hope it is just a matter of pressing a few buttons to reset........

Hi 289, did you know that plastic cover peels off? it's just there for packing purposes.

 

If you call the company you bought the bike from they will be able to assist. Failing that please feel free to contact us directly.

 

All the best, David

Never bothered to peel it off.

Bought bike with less than 50 miles on it from a chap in Oban - so not a company.

 

Pressed Set button and Down button together to show any error codes

Nothing - no error code displayed.

 

David -Is the problem I am experiencing unique or can the remedy be discussed on the forum here which might help others in the same situation?

 

 

D8veh - I'm near Lanark in Scotland

Oh and I like your 'The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.'

Why is the LCD on the handlebars back to front and upside down? Did somebody take it off and put it back on for some reason?

 

The handlebars look all wrong too.

Bike is how I bought it.

 

LCD on right hand side.

 

Handlebars won't cause the symptoms I have described!

Wifes Wisper bike is in the backgrond

Dave is right, the display is on the wrong side, it would not have been supplied like that. If you need help give Claud a call on 01732 762 393.

 

All the best, David

Is this a new error code- it doesn't flash

Tried out the set and down button whilst out on my wee run and got this display.

 

Don't want to cart the bike off somewhere if I can fix it here which would save this auld pensioner some pennies?

As yours is mounted upside down, perhaps you need to press the set and up buttons.

Yes, but it's back to front too so it's the upset and let-down buttons.

Not clear as to what you mean by upside down?

Surely this can't be the problem after the bike worked fine for years.

 

The LCD faces me The display is what I see from the seat.

 

 

The Up button worked to increase the power delivery as I could see the extra setting on the display and similarly with the Down button as this would decrease the power input. All this worked as intended when I bought the bike and never had a problem until this 6kmh problem surfaced.

 

Before I contact Claud - do you David know of a fix. Hope you can oblige as it might help others who might have this problem in the future.

From your experience - what do you think it is? Motor/ LCD/ wiring or another

Edited by 289

Hi, just to confirm the display is in the wrong side of the handlebars. The controls should be by your left thumb.

 

I really wouldn't like to speculate on what could be wrong with an older bike, please give Claud a call on Monday and he will assist you. We can then publish what was wrong here.

 

All the best, David

A loose wire / connector perhaps?

That's what it was.........or the display doesn't like the right hand side
