Hi there,

I have a KOGA/Bosch Intuvia eBike, had it for 5 years now with no real problems and done over 3000 miles.
I haven't used it for a couple of months and when I hopped on it yesterday the second I stopped pedalling I got CODE 460 appear on the headset.
If I started pedalling the message went after maybe 3 seconds and I could get power.
Upon getting home I find that the battery will not charge, two LEDs light up for maybe 30 sec and then go out.
I have tried a battery reset as the manual suggests for the fault and its the same.
My question is:
Should I take it into a dealer and pay them £££ to get it checked or just bite the bullet and buy a new battery.

Cheers!

Code 460 is something to do with USB. Did you plug something into it?
Thanks for replying!
My manual says it's a voltage imbalance between cells in the battery. I have never plugged into the USB on the headset. I had a repair done to the wiring from the headset to the motor a while back. I also have two head units, both display the same code. Also tried charging the battery off the bike.

What manual have you got?

It is a different manual to that. BUT it's my number bleeding dyslexia that's the problem! The code was 640, not 460!!! I've corrected the original post!
Seems the error codes are the same from your PDF to my original manual.

it could be some bad cells stopping it from charging but if the bms still has power it could be fixed but not buy any dealer.


id send it to them and see if anything could be done first but a total recell will be about £300 depending on what cells you want.
