- How to install a thumb/twist/foot pedal throttle control with LCD voltage display and key switch on an electric bike/scooter. I will show you how to do this on both brushed and brushless motor controller.
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..
OMG THANK YOU!!! You are amazing. Seriously, you are the most informative person I have come across when explaining the throttle and how it connects for the different styles and different controller types.
Having explored this a little while I was still not confident enough with the blue and yellow throttle-switch wires. The 1st part of your video explained it perfectly for me. Thank you!
Always a great job communicating technicalities and communicating the joy of e-vehicles. Thanks.
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!
Thank you so much for showing how to connect switch and volts display to a brushed controller
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!!!
Fantastic.
Mate your video is the clearest I have watched on this subject. You explain thongs extremely well and you get straight to the point. Thanks.
great video! You did a great job explaining everything! Thanks for sharing!
Most helpful video out there! Thank you so much!!! Every detail explained in the simplest way possible!❤❤❤
Man I’ve learned the most from you, and then most other e-bike CZcamsrs even with your accent I understand everything you’re saying thank you
awesome, I figured it out correctly! Now I can proceed, with you proving that wire code.
I agree with @Douglas K - Your flow is sublime, the way the mind asks questions as the information comes in - you pop in with the relevant answer right on time and then keep going as if you anticipated the question and "plugged in" an "aside". So easy to follow. I believe you are a gifted human being - a teacher.
This answer my exact question thank you so much for the video!
Best , tutorial. Absolutely no question to any thing left. Cheers, tyvm.
I was looking for this tx so much for sharing this.
Great 👍 keep up with the good work 👏 scared the living day light of dealing with anything electrical, you rock 👍 Thanks again for your great content 👍
Your video is exceptional!! Great work! I thought you'd like to know that even Amazon Customer Service directed me to this video in order to figure out the wiring. I'd already found it, but, I thought you might like to know. Thank you for your appreciated effort.
Clear intruction! thanks teacher! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I have been planning for a long time to put the throttle with the display and key on my xioami Scooter just for a bit of fun and anti-theft, it's working perfectly. I am totally happy about it. You have explained it so well that it was quite easy for me to follow as a beginner in electrical stuff mostly there are no plans for wiring on controllers and and. Keep up the good work, well appreciated 👍😊 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
You are awesome! Thank you for your work!
Thanks a lot man appreciate the hell out of it couldn't have done it without you
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!
Thanks a lot man !! You are the best .
Thank you for your help. Great video!
I bought a couple key throttles, but in 3 years of hit and miss, not working, finding nothing but " your controller isn't compatible" answers. You explained it easy. 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.
Always appreciate ur videos 👍🏻
Very clear and helpful video, thank you
Top notch tutorial. I'm new to the electric bike world and the videos with a little machanibility I've become the local escooter handyman. Thanks for the knowledge. #Each1Teach1. 👍👍👍
Hey That's Great & WE Really Appreciate 👌
This is well explained. thank you for sharing!.
Thanks for the video. I've put together two e bikes, and this video helps to fill in the blanks.
Outstanding video. Thank you.
wow very relaxing video. esp when you say "when you turn the key on" at 5:28. very relaxing voice
You are the Man, a life saver.
Sensacional vídeos, muito bem explicado 👏👏👏
Very helpful! Thank you
Best tutorial I ever seen.
Thank you dude for the information
Thank you dude i needed to see this
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
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.
That's just the video I was looking for. Doesn't help me all the way through, because I need to connect a broken 7 wire throttle: pedal assist and throttle and voltage display, with 7 different colours. but I learned a lot. thank You
Same
Thank you so much to explain deeply
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?
thank you ,i like it really clear.
SIR U ARE AN EXCELLENT TUTOR AND ELEVATOR TKS IMMENSELY REMAIN BLESSED & BLISSFULL
Thank you I really learn something wit this video
Cant wait for next video
Thank you for such detailed information. I am considering changing a thumb drive to a keyed throttle. Thanks again!
Foarte util si interesant , multumesc ...
Very clear and thorough, thank you!
Vvvvbvbbbvcbbbbbbbbbb,cv
SCARY sounds so GOOD 😳😂
Very relaxing thank you
I have a key switch/volt meter (no throttle) with 3 wires (green, red and black). My controller has the single wire you describe that should go to my switch. Please advise how to connect the 3 wires from switch (green-red-black). Love your channel!
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.
clear explanation.. thank you
Great job on the video would you be able explain the controller for kugoo s1 plus electric scooter
Thanks helped alot.
How do you do this with the windgoo e bike 36v 350w motor ? Much needed and very useful liked !
Only video l ve seen that explains it for the hard of learning. Still don't understand it all but pretty good
I want to change the Throttle to a key one. What happens to the on off switch, Do I uninstall it?
You are amazing! I'm making some minor modifications to my Windgoo. It's only 36 v 😪 but it's still fun.
Subbed 🤘🏼
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.

Great video
Love the vid it helped me do my scooter
So thank u
Can I asks something
The 3 speed on the controller
If I do not use it do I still need to put a wire from the black to blue to get top speed . Or just not using it meens that it’s set at top speed anyway
Made my day, you took all the guess work out my project, however if I wanted to add a brake light how would I go about it, the brake light terminal puts out full 40+ volts when I hit the brake lever, what type of light could handle this?
Look on Amazon. They have many light sets that can handle 12v up to 80v.
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.
Can i use the Swagtron 5 original remote control with an aftermarket switch and the original throttle work? Please let me know 🙏
When the keyed throttle is locked can I still use Power Assist on the ebike? Great video.
Nice explane , i hev another 1 whit the 3 collors + white and bleu
Best video out there
Is it possible to connect the blue and yellow wire on the throttle to bypass the need for the key switch and just use it as a throttle?
hello. great tutorial.
Question: at 5:16 for the yellow (+) and the blue (negative) woyld i connect these two wirez to the power lock on the controller, red (+) and black (-)?
/bklyn👑
I believe I’m using the same voltage speed control that you’re using the same speed controller at what point do you put a fuse or a breaker? Thank you for your time.
Hoe much current does the switch wire have from the controller to the throtle? 5 volt or the voltage of the battery , in my case 24 volt?
Thank you for this video maybe you can show how to connect a throttle that has three speed switch and maybe you or somebody can make a video on how to connect up a pas pedal assist system as nobody has done a good job with that either
Love Ya Man!
Good tiching karte hai 👌👍👌👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍
My brushless controller has 2 wires for the ignition lock one red and one orange. I'm assuming the yellow goes to red and blue goes to orange?
Thank you for this! Quick q- when I hook up the key switch throttle to a 3 speed controller, there are no other wires besides the ones for the lock. Does the throttle default to the top speed on the controller? Or is it best to use a 3 speed throttle then a separate key switch for the lock?
Did u find out anything about the 3 speed controller wires
I need your help, I have a 6pin twist throttle with ON OFF. I followed your video and I know Red/Black/Green is throttle, Blue & White is switch, but Yellow (battery indicator on throttle)? 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.
Thanks
hi thankyou for this excellent video. i have a question( to anyone )regarding my throttle and controller... the power lock connector on the controller has a red and pink wire.the two wires from the throttle
are yellow and white .does the red connect to the white and pink to the yellow???? thankyou.
Does the red to the throttle always have 5VDC and the keyswitch sends it out to turn on the controller?
Thanks for the video, I'm having a issue I installed my setup and when I twist the throttle the motor is spinning backwards I am guessing I wired something wrong
@ Vergil workman He has a video explaining that issue , or if you want you just can turn the wheel around like someone else did but don’t take me for it lol . But yeah this gentleman is very detail on what he does and very easy to understand and quote “to the wire” 👍
WOW, VUAECO , Thank you so much for sharing all your videos I enjoy them all , they are the best online !!! I am installing a new univer,sal throttle with key on a recently purchased used Dyu D1(Gyroor C6) 36 volt 350 watt . This is a learning project.
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:)😊
same my xt60 has only 2 wires bruv
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
I have a similar issue. Did you find out what the problem was?
Is there a way to change the voltage with the controller if it’s rated 36v48v
can u help me i have an m365 pro 2 and wish to attach just a voltmeter. when i connected them to the battery wire i got a err 21. if i attach the black from my voltmter to the ground of the panel and the red of the voltmeter to the battery's positive line; do you think that would work?
I have 3 pin throttle i ordered a throttle it has a 3 pin with 2 extra wires blue and yellow do i connect each one to positive wire and controller positive wire?
Hey man, we have almost same video.. ;) nice job..!!
I also saw your video in my CZcams recommended list. We should work together! Where are you from?
I am from Cyprus, (Greek side) i guess are you from America or Canada??
شكراً على المعلومات القيمه
I just want to be able to turn on and off the volt meter not the scooter, can I use just the yellow wire and not the blue like you wired up the one with out the key?
Can I switch out my D6+ trigger throttle for a thumb throttle and if so what other company is compatible?
Damn this great content would be a cool video idea to add a secret button from making it street legal to full power
Love that "secret button"!
My e scooter throttle circuit wire snapped but I was wondering is it possible to just reconnect the cables together to save time on buying a new throttle because I need a specific throttle and my e scooter brand isn’t made anymore or try to find a compatible universal throttle
Does this work with an ebike which doesn't have throttle control in the first place and is only pedal assist?
I don't have switch cable on my controller and I have the exact model of the key throttle that you have shown. How do I do the connection?
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 !
Também não entendo nada do idioma do vídeo. Também estou com problemas. Meu motor e 24v.mas não chegam nem 12v no motor acho que estou ligando errado. Do Brasil obrigado.
Thank you sir...
is it possible to change/replace a connector on the controller?
