Error codes list for popular models of electric scooters

Not all operating manuals include an explanation of the errors that may appear on the screen of your vehice. We list the most common error codes for the most popular electric scooter models below. 

Error codes – Xiaomi M365 / Xiaomi M365 Pro / Xiaomi Essential / Xiaomi 1S / Xiaomi Pro 2

Xiaomi scooters signal a problem in two ways – text error codes (on the display) and audible error codes (sequences of long and short beeps).

• 2 long + 4 short – Incorrect system voltage 
• 2 long + 6 short – Flash memory write operation is incorrect (check controller) 
• 2 long + 7 short – Wrong controller password 
• 2 long + 8 short – Some state of the MOSFET transistor is faulty 
• 2 long + 9 short – A low state of the MOSFET transistor is faulty 
• 3 long + 1 short – Software jump error
• 3 long + 5 short – Serial number of the scooter is incorrect 
• 3 long + 9 short – Battery sensor temperature is incorrect 
• 4 long – Controller sensor temperature is incorrect

Summary

Now you know how to interpret the error code of your electric scooter. The next step is to repair the fault. We recommend contacting an e-vehicle repair service if you do not have the necessary technical knowledge.

It may be that the error relates to the battery. In this case, instead of buying a new scooter, we recommend a more rewarding solution. City Lion batteries are better replacements for the original accumulator. They provide a safer ride and increase the range of your e-scooter.

If your battery is in decent condition but you want to increase its range, it can be boosted further with an external battery. The extra battery will allow you to ride up to 4 times the distance on a single charge.

Check out our batteries for electric scooters:

• Xiaomi – increase the range of your electric scooter by up to 4 times.
• Ducati – an electric scooter for adults requires a capacious battery.
• Nanrobot – be always on time with a new battery for the Nanrobot D6+ scooter.
• Ninebot – a boost to get around town quickly without constant charging.
• Aovopro, Vsett, Joyor, Kugoo 
• We also make custom batteries!
