Got a eb5 a few days ago. Worked fine for 2 days and charged battery up twice after riding both times. It has 30 miles on it from rides. Now error code e07 shows and motor won’t work and had to push it home. Brand new bike shouldn’t have any issues in my experience. I’ve checked the connection cable and it’s all good. Bad battery? It came with bike so it should be correct one for bike as it’s not after market one.
Not trilled I’m having trouble within days of owning this bike.
