5.2  RIDECONTROL EVO ERROR

RideControl EVO error notifications

A wrench tool appears on the EVO screen. What is going on?

In case a problem is detected in the system., the EVO display will show;

 • 

system message:

 for 2 seconds.

 
 
 
 
 
One of these root causes:

• 

SyncDrive error

• 

Speed sensor error

• 

EnergyPak error

• 

Bluetooth error

• 

RideControl error

Followed by the message:

• 

Your E-bike needs servicing

 
 
 
 
 
 
The EVO display will then return to the normal screen, but with the wrench 
tool icon displayed as well. For most errors, the motor assist will remain func-
tional. Motor assist will only stop in case of a ‘SyncDrive error’. The wrench 
tool will show on the screen for as long as the problem persists.

Hardly ever there is reason for immediate concern. Simply restarting the 
system will remove the error notification. If the error returns after the restart, 
use the Service Tool to diagnose the problem. The Service Tool will identify 
the exact error code(s). The error codes are described in the Service Tool 
manual, and also a few pages further down in this G-System Service Manual.

Unless stated otherwise by Service Tool or Giant information, no part replace-
ment is needed.,
