Can I get some advice, please? My ebike has an Error 10, which didn't go away, despite having changed out the old controller. So, can I get this ebike going again, by just buying/adding a conversion kit to it?

Hard to say without more details. One web page says e10 is temperature error, and another web page says e4 is the temperature error. So it depends on what bike and what controller it has. Have you checked the temperature of both controllers after you get the error? It could be a short somewhere making both controllers really hot really fast. Or it could be another problem with it's own error 10. And yes you could remove everything and put on a new eBike conversion kit to get it going. Unless you end up buying a faulty kit, Hah.-
Thank you so very much for answering my question. I bought an RKS (Turkish ebike) two years ago, and it has served me well up to the warranty's end (2 years). It's a 20 inch step through, with a 250 W motor and an 36 V 8.8 ah battery.
The E10 error on this ebike means that the controller/display is not communicating with the engine, and the ebike is only . So, the bike's temperature and this error are unrelated.
The E10 blinking indicator, still allowed me to use the motor, but the lights and horn stopped working. The RKS company, from whom I bought the bike told me that given this error, the ebike will eventually lose all its' functioning, which it did do, even after I switched out the new controller they sent me. I search this error online, and I was told that there's no guarantee that a fix could be found, even after moving the wires around that connect the display to the controller, changing the controller or the display!
So, for the last four months, the ebike with a battery I bought about a year ago, and not much on the odometer, despite its' age, has been sitting in my basement. I'm not a mechanic, (probably will have to become one though) so I didn't even think about buying a kit to replace the current setup, until now, thus the reason for my question.
Another Ebike:
Update: Now I have two ebikes, as my impatience with my old ebike, caused me to buy another one about a month ago from Shengmilo M90 Mtb. And within two weeks of owning this one, the display stopped functioning to the point of losing total use of the throttle and the PAS. (Easy fix, just switch out display) Now, I have two bikes to fix (better buy some tools!)
Hope that I provided better details, if not good reasoning for how to address my problems! -
Yea, there's alot of ebike junk out there. You can buy a kit to replace what you got, but they dont come with clear instructions. So you may not be able to get a new kit working. If you can post pictures of the bike and display and controller, maybe we can find possible parts that may help you out.

I'm new at writing in forums, so it's quite possible that I responded to a post whose message wasn't meant for me! A little confusing in that the response could've applied to my ebike problems, now two!Comment

Hah, yea I just realised that. So there is not alot of service available when these things malfunction. So people really have to develope DIY skills to be able to keep eBikes going. And also be able to sort out the junk from the quality eBikes available. It does not help that you are going thru surgery. My right shoulder is on fire and that in no way makes me a better DIYer. Anyways, there's tons of parts of every design available from china on the internet. So it's impossible to determine the e10 issues without pictures and info. Its possible all the controls on your first bike may have to be removed and replaced with controls that are more standard. But it takes reasonable DIY skills to do that. And body parts that are not too sore. If e10 is a communications issue, then the wiring could be bad, or the controller or the display, or all 3 could be bad. If you can work a multimeter, you can check some stuff out. Otherwise you may be stuck with buying new stuff for the e10 bike and starting over again.
As for the second bike, it may also have a wiring connection issue to the display. Checking wiring with a multimeter is a standard DIY skill that all eBikers really need, to keep these bikes going. And the connectors can be very fragile. So excelent seeing skills are also required to spot the tiny little keys in the connectors, because they are supposed to only connect one way. Other people have smashed the the fragile pins and shorted everything out when they simply smashed the connector together, not realizing that they only go one way. I would get a refund on the second bike before trying to fix it. It's broken already. If you try to fix it, they may void any warranty.

As for the bike with the E10 issue, I remember posting about it, but it seems the posts have changed or were edited? Maybe that post was another post elsewhere. I'll post about it if I find it. But if I got a second eBike and it broke quickly, I would be looking to return it. DIY fixing usually voids the warranties.
Hi There STTS:
The E10 issue with my 20 inch, is more likely to be solved, as you suggested, if I strip it, then buy and replace all its' components, with exception to its' 36 volt motor. Then, the question becomes is it even worth pursuing such a course of action, and at what cost ? The bike hasn't any outstanding features (basic components, no suspension, basic disk brakes and gearing) to speak of, so it won't be an issue if I just gave it away for parts, that is if anybody wanted it.
It's a different story (more attachment) to my 500w, 29 inch Mtb with hydraulic brakes, a front suspension, mild upgrades to the handlebar, seatpost and stem, which give it a cruiser look. So, while this ebike (which lost its PAS, throttle and walking mode functions after my tinkering) I reasoned that since it was my tinkering with the display settings that ultimately caused me to lose all power and assist functions, and the fact that I could buy another ebike with the potential for malfunctioning (tinkering or not) soon after I get it, along with the fact that this hobby necessitates developing DIY skills, that I'll take my chances and switch out the display myself. Since the dealer was very willing to send me the display, I also asked him to send me a replacement controller just in case. As far as installation goes, he's sending me video instruction links to walk me through each step of the process of switching out the display, the controller (if I need it) and the front brake, whose cable was stressed to the point of causing a mild cut in the cable.
I really appreciate your input, which you make kind efforts to give!
