What drive system does my Pedego e-bike have?
Pedego e-bikes are built around bought-in Ananda and Dapu motor controllers, so two otherwise similar-looking bikes can use completely different error-code tables. The badge on the frame or the marketing name does not decide which codes apply, because the controller fitted to your specific bike does. Before reading any error code, you must identify which controller brand your bike carries. Once that is confirmed, the matching dealer troubleshooting chart gives the meaning of each two-digit code.
How to check on your own bike
- Switch off the bike and look at the motor housing; Ananda and Dapu units are each branded on the casing.
- Note the display fitted to the handlebar, as Pedego has shipped different displays with each controller generation.
- Check whether the bike pairs with the Pedego app or a third-party app tied to the controller brand.
- Read the type plate under the frame or the original invoice, which usually lists the motor and controller brand.
- Cross-check the controller brand against the two known charts before consulting any error code online.

A recall on this list does not mean your bike is affected: check the model and the production dates in the official notice. This list combines the EU Safety Gate, the European Commission rapid alert system, with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. A model can be sold under another name in another market, so always check the model and production dates in the official notice.
Frequently asked
Which motor does Pedego use?
Pedego fits bought-in motors controlled by either Ananda or Dapu electronics, depending on the model and production run. The brand badge on the frame does not tell you which one is on your bike, so the motor housing and display must be checked directly.
Why do the error codes differ between Pedego bikes?
Ananda and Dapu each publish their own two-digit error-code tables. Pedego does not run a unified list, so a code seen on one bike can mean something different on another depending on which controller is fitted.
What is the first step when a Pedego shows an error code?
Confirm which controller brand is on the bike by checking the motor and display, then read the matching Ananda or Dapu chart. Only after that should the specific two-digit code be looked up.
