Spray rust remover on the switch. Below is relevant information about electric bikes: 1. Drive methods: Mainly include hub motor drive, mid-drive motor, and suspension motor. Most electric bicycles on the market use hub drive, with rear-wheel hub drive being superior while front-wheel drive performs relatively poorly; 2. Battery placement: Batteries are typically mounted on the frame's diagonal tube or vertical tube, mostly using cost-effective lead-acid batteries. Most electric bicycles adopt 36V12AH lead-acid batteries, while 24V12AH batteries are less popular among consumers due to their shorter range.
I once encountered the trouble of a malfunctioning electric vehicle gear shift button. At that time, when reversing, the button didn't respond no matter how many times I pressed it, which was really frustrating. Actually, there are quite a few reasons: the button itself might be too old with a loose or stuck spring, or dust inside causing poor contact; or there could be a circuit issue, like loose wiring or a blown fuse; even the software might act up, such as the control unit freezing. When I checked it myself, I first looked to see if the button surface was dirty, carefully cleaned it, and tried again. If that didn't work, I lifted the small cover next to it to check the fuse—most of the time, it's this little guy that's the problem. If it still doesn't work, I directly contact the 4S shop, as they have professional tools to diagnose deeper issues, like replacing the button or updating the system. Throughout the process, remember safety first—if the button isn't working before driving, don't move the car to avoid accidents. Regular maintenance and cleaning the button can prevent these troubles. In short, don't take it lightly—a malfunctioning button really affects driving mood and efficiency.
