Why does the tricycle controller protection prevent movement?
2 Answers
Tricycle controller protection preventing movement may be due to burnt power MOSFETs inside the controller. If under warranty, get it replaced for free; if out of warranty, visit a repair shop to replace the controller directly. DIY repair requires certain technical skills and can be challenging for non-professionals. Below is an introduction to vehicle maintenance: Vehicle maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep. Scope of vehicle maintenance: Modern vehicle maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. Purpose of vehicle maintenance: The purpose of vehicle maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
When a tricycle controller's protection mechanism is triggered and the vehicle cannot move, common causes include unstable battery voltage, motor overload, or the controller itself overheating. With years of repair experience, I've encountered many such cases: if it's a voltage issue, battery aging can cause output fluctuations, prompting the controller to cut power upon detecting abnormalities; excessive load on the motor, such as steep slopes or heavy cargo, triggers overload protection; temperature is also critical—summer heat or a blocked fan leading to poor cooling can cause the controller to shut down. Avoid forcing a restart to prevent damage to the controller or motor. It's best to let it cool for half an hour first, then attempt a reboot to see if normal operation resumes. For recurring issues, check battery health, measure voltage (should be above 12V), and inspect for loose or oxidized connectors. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning battery terminals and fans, and avoiding overloaded operation, can significantly reduce such failures. Safety first—the controller's protection mechanism is actually safeguarding the vehicle to prevent more severe consequences, but timely repairs are essential to avoid roadside breakdowns.
