    DIY electric Drift trike - After some advice with error code 8/9 please sw900. Any input greatly appreciated!!!

    I prefer to have a display to be honest, I can check wattage pulled, exact battery voltage, range travelled, top speed, average speed etc etc. Not to mention the setup aspect, safe voltage cutoff.. max amps/speed etc all controlled from a neat little screen.

    Yea I've managed to isolate the error 8 (throttle) to bad connection... however the error 9 seems to be permanent. Checked all wires/ connections etc. With the new discovery of motor resistance when yellow phase is plugged in it leads me to think it is one of the mosfets, now if I can just...

    Upon further investigation it would appear that I have a short on yellow phase and that the wheel was in fact cogging, not sure how I missed that yesterday... unplug yellow phase, wheel turns freely. Plugged in it cogs motor. Blue and green are fine. So I assume it's one of the mosfets...

    Hi Folks, new member here... Recently finished building an E-Drift trike but on 3rd good ride out I've thrown some error codes and just wanted some advice. Already done some research but I've not got any of the common symptoms others are mentioning. Worth noting that I'm a relative novice...
