S5 motor not working

Hello,

I’m unlucky enough to have purchased an S5 pre-bankruptcy, and the seemingly inevitable has happened: my bike’s motor no longer works. It holds a charge just fine and powers on, but the motor does nothing regardless of the selected power level.

I took it to the Rybit shop in SF. They were nice enough to take a look, but don’t have the ability to service S5/A5s any more and couldn’t identify the issue. They told me the following:

“We have tried a new wheel and a new motor cable ( after first ensuring the original motor cable was fully plugged in ), neither resolved the problem. There is an Error 90, modem comms issue, which we really do not have a known resolution for. Possibly, repairing or replacing the Main ECU could resolve the issue. We do not have any known, new, functional Main ECU's in-house.”

I’m turning to Reddit now in a last-ditch attempt at finding a solution. If anyone has any suggestions on a fix or is located in the Bay Area and can help, I’d be grateful!
