INMOTION publishes error code tables for its RS, Air and Climber electric scooters, and the same number can mean different things on each. On the Air and Climber, 02 is a motor hall sensor fault, 04 is low battery voltage, 06 and 07 mean the brake lever or throttle didn't read as released at power-on, and 12 is overheating protection pointed at the motor. On the RS, codes have three digits, with the first digit telling you which wheel: 202 is a rear motor hall sensor fault and 016 is a fall warning. INMOTION electric unicycles don't show numbered codes at all; the INMOTION app names the fault instead. Fixing the fault behind a code starts from $35 at Wilson's, and a simple inspection is always free.
INMOTION's own instructions are to stop riding on an overheating code and to stop using the electric scooter on a high battery voltage code. On an electric unicycle, a fault alarm means stop riding at once. After a fall, a crash or water getting in, don't ride or charge it until it has been inspected, and never charge a battery that smells, smokes, bulges or runs hot. Bring it in by car or walk it to us.
INMOTION error codes at a glance
| Code you see | Air, Air Pro and Climber | RS, RS Lite and RS Jet | What we check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 02: motor hall sensor fault | 102 or 202: hall sensor fault in the front or rear motor | Hall sensor cable and plug, the sensors inside the motor |
| 4 | 04: battery voltage low | 004: undervoltage, battery voltage too low | Battery health, charger, charging port, battery management board |
| 6 | 06: brake self-test failure at power-on | 006: brake lever failure | Brake lever sensor, brake cutoff switch, its cable and connector |
| 7 | 07: throttle self-test failure at power-on | 007: throttle failure, disconnected or not released at power-on | Throttle, its cable and connector |
| 12 | 12: overheating protection, which INMOTION's table points at the motor | 112 or 212: front or rear motor overheating | Motor temperature sensor and wiring, motor, controller |
| 16 | Not used | 016: fall warning, tilted past 45 degrees (RS and RS Lite only) | Crash damage, the tilt sensor |

Which INMOTION models show which codes?
- Air, Air Pro and Climber: two-digit codes from 01 to 12. INMOTION's table even names the part each code points to.
- RS, RS Lite and RS Jet: three-digit codes. A first digit of 1 means the front motor or controller, 2 means the rear, and 0 is for other faults such as the battery, brake lever and throttle. So 212 is rear motor overheating. The RS Jet has no 015 or 016, and adds 019, a prompt to update the firmware.
- C9 and C10: letter codes from E0 to E9 plus EE, a different scheme. On the C10, E4 is a controller failure and E6 is stall protection, not the battery or brake faults that 04 and 06 mean on the Air.
- S1, S1E, S1F and S1G: no numbered codes in the manual, only an error icon. INMOTION's instruction is to stop using the electric scooter while it is lit.
- Electric unicycles (V5 to V14, P6, E20, X1): no numbered code tables in any manual. A fault icon lights up and the INMOTION app names the fault.
That's why we read the code on your own electric scooter against its model before we quote. A code list for the wrong family can point at the wrong part.

INMOTION error 2 (02, 102, 202): hall sensor
On the Air, Air Pro and Climber, 02 is a hall sensor fault, and INMOTION's table points it at the motor. On the RS family, 102 is the front motor and 202 the rear. Hall sensors tell the controller where the motor is in its turn, so a fault can make the electric scooter judder, pull weakly or refuse to move. What we check: the thin sensor cable and its plug, especially where it runs past the axle and suspension, then the sensors inside the motor. Hall sensor and phase wire repair starts from $100, motor repair from $100.
INMOTION error 4 (04, 004): low battery voltage
On the Air and Climber, 04 means the battery voltage is low; on the RS, 004 is the controller's undervoltage code. A flat battery triggers it, but when it keeps coming back on a charged battery, or the moment you accelerate, what we usually find is a battery that has lost capacity, a weak cell group, a charger or charging port that isn't delivering a full charge, or a battery management board fault. We load-test the battery (from $50, waived if the repair quote is over $100), test the charger and port, and tell you whether the battery can be repaired or needs replacing. A BMS starts from $200, and a replacement battery is quoted after the test.
INMOTION error 6 (06, 006): brake lever
06 on the Air and Climber is a brake self-test failure: when the electric scooter switched on, the brake lever didn't read as released. On the RS it's 006, brake lever failure. The brake levers have small sensors that cut motor power when you brake, so the controller checks them at start-up. What we find is usually a sticking lever, a failed brake cutoff switch, or a damaged cable or connector after a knock. A brake cutoff switch starts from $35.
INMOTION error 7 (07, 007): throttle
07 on the Air and Climber is a throttle self-test failure at power-on. On the RS, 007 covers a throttle that reads as not released at power-on and a throttle that's disconnected. We test the throttle signal across its full range, then the cable and connector, especially where it passes the folding stem. Throttle repair starts from $50. See electric scooter throttle repair.
INMOTION error 12 (12, 112, 212): overheating
On the Air and Climber, INMOTION's table names 12 with the same wording as 11, controller overheating, but its components column points 12 at the motor. On the RS, 112 and 212 are front and rear motor overheating. Either way it's overheating protection, and INMOTION's instruction is to stop riding and let it cool. When it happens on normal rides rather than long climbs or heavy loads, we check the motor temperature sensor and its wiring, a dragging brake or bearing, the motor windings and the controller. Motor repair starts from $100.
INMOTION error 16 (016): fall warning
016 appears on the RS and RS Lite when the electric scooter tilts more than 45 degrees: it's a fall warning. It isn't in the RS Jet, Air or Climber tables. If it shows after the electric scooter went over, we check for crash damage to the stem, folding mechanism, brakes, lights and display, then the tilt sensor. Crash damage repair starts from $30. If it shows when the electric scooter is upright, we check the tilt sensor and the controller it reports to.
Other INMOTION electric scooter codes
- Controller faults: 01 on the Air and Climber; 101/201 and 117/217 on the RS. Controller replacement starts from $35.
- Battery faults: 03 on the Air and Climber; 003 and 008 on the RS. We test the battery and its management board.
- High battery voltage: 05 on the Air and Climber, 005 on the RS. Stop using it and bring it in.
- Display and controller not talking: 09 and 10 on the Air and Climber; 109/209 and 110/210 on the RS. We check the cable down the stem, its connectors, the display and the controller.
- Other overheating codes: 11 on the Air and Climber; 111/211, 114/214 and 013 (battery) on the RS. Stop riding until it cools, and bring it in if it keeps happening.
- Motor stall: 118/218 on the RS, the motor blocked from turning. We check the wheel, bearings and motor.
INMOTION electric unicycle errors
INMOTION's electric unicycle manuals, from the V5 and V8 to the V12, V14, P6 and E20, have no numbered error code table. A fault icon lights up, and the INMOTION app names the fault. For the V11 and V12, INMOTION's help centre confirms the app shows named faults, not numbers. Any page that gives an INMOTION electric unicycle "error 4" a meaning isn't using an INMOTION source.
The faults the app names fall into a few groups, and that's what we check when an electric unicycle comes in:
- Driver board: current and voltage sensors, the attitude (balance) sensor and temperature sensing
- Motor: the hall sensor and motor temperature
- Battery: internal battery errors and battery temperature
- Communication: between the driver board, the display board and Bluetooth
- Cooling fan on models that have one
Bring the electric unicycle in with the fault the app shows, if you can see it. We read it, test the part it points to and price the repair before any work starts. Tires, suspension, batteries and the rest are priced in electric unicycle and hoverboard repair.
Which INMOTION models do we repair?

Frequently asked questions
What does error 4 mean on an INMOTION electric scooter?
On the Air, Air Pro and Climber, 04 means the battery voltage is low. On the RS family, 004 is undervoltage. If it keeps coming back on a charged battery, we test the battery, charger and port.
What does error 07 mean on an INMOTION?
A throttle self-test failure: the throttle didn't read as released when the electric scooter switched on. On the RS, 007 also covers a disconnected throttle. Throttle repair starts from $50.
What does error 6 mean on an INMOTION?
A brake lever fault: on the Air and Climber, 06 means the brake lever didn't read as released at power-on; on the RS, 006 is brake lever failure. A brake cutoff switch starts from $35.
What does error 16 mean on an INMOTION RS?
016 is a fall warning on the RS and RS Lite, shown when the electric scooter tilts past 45 degrees. After a fall, we check for crash damage and the tilt sensor.
Do INMOTION electric unicycles have error codes?
Not numbered ones. INMOTION's electric unicycle manuals show a fault icon, and the INMOTION app names the fault. We read it and test the part it points to.
How much does it cost to fix an INMOTION error code?
Fixing the fault behind an error code starts from $35 at Wilson's, parts and labor included. A simple inspection is always free.
Is an INMOTION error covered by the warranty?
A fault from a manufacturing defect can be covered: on an INMOTION bought from Wilson's, we manage the warranty claim for a year. Damage from water, a fall or misuse is excluded. See our warranty policy.
