Symptoms

Common Causes

Fix Steps

Step 1: 1. Stop immediately — let controller cool 30 minutes in shade
Step 2: 2. Check controller housing location (usually under battery or in frame downtube)
Step 3: 3. Remove any frame bags blocking controller vents
Step 4: 4. Inspect wiring near controller for melted insulation — short circuit indicator
Step 5: 5. If controller housing is damaged or smells burnt: controller replacement needed (~$80-120)
Step 6: 6. Preventive: use pedal assist (PAS 3-5) instead of throttle-only for extended riding
Step 7: 7. Engwe controllers are IP65 rated but NOT thermally robust — limit continuous max power to 10 minutes

Always disconnect the battery before inspecting wiring.
