Izip dash display problems12/20/2023 ![]() ![]() I've got the same model and I do a good amount of hills on my Dash and have never experienced the problem. ![]() Maybe I should contact Currie, but another problem I have is that the nearest Currie dealer is about 70 miles from where I live! This is disappointing for a big investment. I should say that I really enjoy my Dash except for the shutdown issue. So, I want to ask: Anybody has ever experienced this kind of shutdown?Īnybody has some sense whether the slope and route is too much for Dash or not? I am willing to ride my Dash within its limit, but it seems to be too weak for its spec. I don't think my commute is worse than this one reported here: Īccording to the figure in the report, he seems to be doing more hills of similar slope than I do my route is much shorter. After some rest (~15-20 min), it becomes normal. When it shutdowns, there is no warning or anything like that suddenly motor power stops the speed meter on the display becomes erratic for a short while (sometimes, an error code indicating speed sensor problem shows up) then it becomes zero, indicating the speed sensor shutdowns too. When it happened the first time, I contacted Currie and they told me that Dash shutdowns when motor is stressed too much. So I am worried about coming warmer months. I'm not sure, but it occurs more on warmer days. Before I had the issue, I use PAS level 4 after I had the issue for the first time, I mostly used PAS 2 or 3, but it still fails. So far I had five times of this shutdown. Burned or melted wires or wire connectors indicate overheating of the motor which may cause the plastic insulation to melt off the motor's copper wire windings.On my way back, Dash motor sometimes stops after about 2.5 miles. ![]() Look for any burned or melted wires or wire connectors attached to the motor. Melted or burned wires and connectors indicate overheating which might cause damage to the motors copper wire windings. If any wires are burned or melted then the speed controller may be defective. If the scooter runs when the controller's brake switch connector terminals are bridged together, then the brake switch is a normally closed type which is faulty.Ĭheck the battery charger port for damages, as well as the battery charger.Ĭheck the speed controller for any burned or melted wires. Testing for a faulty normally closed brake lever switch, you must disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller, bridge the two terminals together in the controller's connector that the brake switch is unplugged from. If it does, it is a normally open type that is faulty. To test for a faulty normally open brake switch, you have to disconnect the brake lever wire connector from the speed controller and then see if the scooter runs. The brake switches inform the speed controller to turn the motor off when the brakes are applied. Most electric scooters have normally open brake switches but some have normally closed brake switches. The brake lever switch is another possibility. If possible, see if the battery pack works on another electric scooter. Is it a "kick to start to start" scooter? Some scooters need to be pushed before the throttle engages.Ĭheck the battery and recharge it if needed. If the battery is charged and operates as it should, then a fuse is probably the culprit. I.e it is not loose or feels it is not connecting properly. Make sure the power switch is on and that it works properly. This could be simple or something that needs more attention. ![]()
