Magc Pie 5 error Eb5

[Soetie]

My bike with a Magic Pie 5 gives an error and don’t response on the thump throttle and pedal sensor. I have search for the error but couldn’t find it. Is there anyone known with this error and know how to solve?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Soetie andto the forum.

I suspect the "Eb5" is just a visual notification that the EBS is engaged due to a brake lever being stuck partially open, which can easily occur if you have plugged in the brake lever switch connector before the brake Bowden cables are physically connected to the levers and one of the levers is not fully released because the cable attachment pivot is preventing the lever from returning fully:



If the brake levers are definitely fully returned to the released position and you are still seeing the EbS notification, it could be due to a faulty brake switch or the wiring going to it.
Unplug both brake switch connectors and see if the EbS notification disappears. If it does, plug in the brake connectors one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply. Will check the brake handle sensors.It works properly before, but after an emergency stop it doesn’t work anymore, thus something with the brake switches sounds logic

Hi Alan,

The problem was indeed the brake switch. The brake handles are not original Golden Motor ones. A magnet had been glued to the brake handle, but it was broken. Repositioning it to the original spot cleared the error! Thanks for your help!
