SOURCE: The console does not work. E-2 shows up on the console.
We had this problem after assembly as well, it turned out to be a bent pin inside the connector to the flywheel housing (where the wires connect inside the lower part of the main mast). It was so bent that it never actually made contact with the connector.
We straightened the pin, carefully reconnected the wires, and everything worked just fine.
This says to us that the "E-2" error message means the console is missing at least one connection from the system. This could be caused by a bent pin, a torn/cut/frayed wire, etc -- anything that might make it lose signal.
So check the lower connection for bent pins, check the upper connection for bent pins, and check all along the wires for any kind of damage.
Hope this helps!

I solved the problem by the following: take all the joints apart and grease with white lithium grease. Don't put them back together too tight! Don't take the little rollers apart; they're too hard to get back together. Just spray the whole area with silicone spray. Here's the real fix: our flywheel cover (and i guess the whole flywheel assembly) was loose. Take the half dollar-size black cover off the center of the flywheel. Tighten the nut inside. You need a socket wrench; you can't do it with the multi-wrench provided. The 'Cruiser' is much queter now! Good Luck, David

E1 error seems to indicate that the servo which controls the elliptical resistance is stuck. Here is how I fixed this (without using a "crank puller", which would be quicker by far).
You will need a very short phillips screw driver (snub nose), a long phillips screw driver, an allen key set, and crescent wrench.
- Remove the batteries from the unit.
- Remove the screws from the plastic housing (with the long phillips screw driver) on the left side. Do not forget the phillips screws at the front - they are smaller screws so don't mix them with the others. This will allow the plastic housing to flex and move around, but not come entirely off.
- Using the crescent wrench, remove the nut holding the left pedal to the crank. Carefully note the order of the washers on the crank attachment.
- Using the allen key, remove the little pedal attachment piece on the left crank arm.
- Using the short phillips screw driver, carefully reach inside the plastic housing on the top and remove the four screws holding the plastic plate on the outside of the fly wheel/crank. You will need to rotate the crank wheel to reach each of the four screws in turn on the inside of the case.
- Pull off the plastic cover for the wheel.
- Reinsert batteries and gently help the revealed cable (bottom) retract the magnet plate. In my case, the servo worked fine again after helping it retract the magnet plate that was somehow stuck/wedged.
Reverse steps to re-assemble.

I think I am experiencing the same problem and have removed the shrouds. Are you experiencing a clicking sound while the unit is plugged in? All of this seems to deal with the servo motor. Don't be fooled by suggestions to replace the rpm sensor...this is NOT the problem. I am trying to find out what the initial setting for the servo motor and the tension cable should be. I found a site where you can order the servo motor, but it tells me that it could be months to receive this part. Sigh...

It should be at the bottom of the machine in the front facing away from you if you are on it.
