    Whoever you are Thank you so much - I changed from a brushed to a Brushless and the Blue and yellow wires had me in despair - Now I fully understand how to switch the new controller on - Thank you From Wales in UK xx

    When I first heard your voice on the video, I smiled. I hadn’t seen your videos in awhile, but always love them. This is exactly how my dad would teach us how to repair stuff. The paper clips scare me every time. I have shorted quite a bit of stuff using them, no matter how careful I am. Thanks for the great work!

      I'm new and I have an Evercross H9 scooter 48,volt 14.9aH battery , 28mph with an 800 watt in it, I want to build it so to speak to a 48v 1500 watt and a 1500 watt controller if this is what I need to achieve the speed of 40ish mph..

    Bless your heart thank you so much for your time…….. same controller I have and I have been working on this for days it’s crazy. I know how to solder but the hook up one of these you save me a lot of time.. you’re the 15th video I’ve come across I wish your video was number one but I learned quite a bit from the other videos too. Just not how to do this basic for a lot of people which makes it a learning process for me!

    Absolutely fantastic tutorial. You should be teaching in a class. You explain everything so thoroughly that even a newbie like myself can understand what you're doing. I don't know how you learned all that electronics theory but keep up the great work. Those controllers have so many wires and I didn't think they came with wiring schematics. Anyway, the way you explain things makes it seem so simple and you even show the results of the connections which makes it even better. I would never attempt the things you're doing as I would likely short out the controllers or burn down my house. I know how to use a multimeter but still... I'm a bit careless at times.

    I can't thank you enough, I've been stuck on my project for a couple of weeks trying to find a way to add a key switch to my ebike. I tried to connect one and blew it up TWICE, I have been scared to try it again. But now that I SEE exactly what to do I can be more confident. Countless diagrams can't replace the actual watching of the wiring. THANK YOU!!!

The Xtra red and red are the key switch, ty,ty,ty and my controllers are reverse blue green for some reason but hot is hot and ground is ground.

    @franxx2498 Před rokem +1

    Hi and thank you for your great tutorial.
    I followed it completely to replace my former thumb throttle.
    I tried the new sensor on an external source first and it showed the expected 5V connecting the positive and the ground cable and low Voltage when connecting the Data cable with ground which would increase when I twisted the accelarator.
    Connecting the throttle to the controler and motor I quickly found that I had to switch the yellow and white cable in order to not have the display consistently on and the keys without function.
    With the cables switched, power supply seemed to be working as intended.
    However, while the horn and lights worked well, the accelerator did not work at all.
    When measuring with Voltmeter, the data cable of the throttle showed negative Volt value which would not change when I twisted the throttle.
    I can not explain to myself why that happened. I tried few other cable combinations but to have the key function working I could not find a way to make the sensor/accelerator work.
    Do you have any idea about what went wrong and how I can fix that? I would highly appreciate some help.
    Best wishes
    Fran

  • @tekolicious8310
    @tekolicious8310 Před rokem

    Good knowledge. People always think it is hard to get two connectors to work, Just cut off the connection that is odd, and solder in the same type. plug it in and go. go showing how red and green are constraint and that the ground wire can change, thats what meters are for.

    Thanks so much for posting this video. This really help me understand basic pri ciple of keyed throttle. But one thing I'm curious about this thing is, if the blue wire on keyed throttle is operated by switch wire which is positive, can the blue wire also be connected to main power wire with the yellow one at the same time?

  • @jackoneil3933
    @jackoneil3933 Před 2 lety +4

    Good tutorial. However I've found that some controllers such as the Violamart kit controllers with 5 conductors don't provide 5V to the throttle signal, but the throttle converts the battery voltage to 5v signal voltage.

  • @robertmotion
    @robertmotion Před rokem

    Great tutorial.
    Question…my throttle has 8 wires.
    Two - on/off switch
    Three - throttle main wires
    Three - hall sensor
    Throttle ground wire is a shared wire that also leads directly to vol/battery display, so four wires- three throttle wires + one black wire from hall sensor - lead to vol/battery display.
    I connected three main throttle wires from throttle to throttle connection on controller.
    connected yellow key wire to positive on battery and the other key wire (brown) I connected it with positive from throttle. I then connected those two wires to positive for throttle from controller.
    With this connection, I get a display of battery + voltage on throttle screen, showing controller is on (has power) and voltage level.
    That leaves two wires not connected - white signal wire and red positive wire from hall sensor on throttle.
    How/where do I connect these so that when I turn throttle I can get a 0.8 - 5.0vdc reading on multimeter, indicating throttle and throttle hall sensor are working properly.
    Any help I’d appreciate. Great video.

      @g3user1usa Před 2 lety

      I went on Amazon and bought a rechargeable taillight with a built-in accelerometer that senses braking. That's the best I could do for my scooter. The scooter's display shows something is activated when I squeeze the brake lever but the rear lights don't get brighter or flash. How stupid is that? No way I'm going to mess with the wiring with no wiring diagrams and make things worse. The rechargeable taillight/brakelight works just fine.

My controller has 6 wires (red/black/green/yellow/brown/pink). The yellow from the controller provides the voltage of the battery.
    I've been trying all sorts of combinations, but I couldn't get it to match correctly, to function.

    It did not run when I bought it , seller said needed a battery. I have a battery that i can use that is 36 volts. How would I go about attaching the Throttle YELLOW wire to the THICK RED CONTROLLER wire as mine has a yellow XT60?
    Any help is so appreciated Thank You:)😊

  • @christophergonzales3974

    Hello. Awesome videos. Question...I am working on a bird 2 escooter and just connected the 36v brushless controller and noticed that when I pressed the throttle the wheel did start spinning but there was no variability and the wheel kept spinning even after I let go of the throttle. What did I do wrong? I cant understand this. The controller I bought was the cheap chinese one from amazon. I was able to stop the motor by bridging one of the conectors from the controller. Can you please offer some direction? Thank you

    @John_Smile Před rokem +2

    Thank you so much for making this video. I bought both 4-wire and 5-wire throttles.
    When I connected the 4-wire Throttle, my bike went well.
    The problems started when I tried to connect the 5-wire Throttle because I didn't know where to tie the blue wire.
    I suspected that the blue wire should be tied to the thin red wire (which goes to the battery).
    My bike is at 36 V.
    When I connected the blue wire to the thin red wire, the voltage dropped from 41 V to 24 V and the motor stopped running.
    I would have been delighted if you could film where the blue thread is tied.
    The clip has no subtitles and I don't know English very well.
    I understand a word, from 2 words ...
    II would have understood exactly where it needed to be tied up, if I had seen it filmed.
    But even now, if you explain it to me, I can use Google Translator to understand .
    Thanks !
