- John from MiniMotors USA shows you how to swap out a Speedway 5 Motor Controller. Here is the wire map for a Speedway 5:
Red / White - Red / Blue with Black Jacket
Orange / Black - Red / Blue without Black Jacket
White / White - Orange
Green / Green - Green / Blue
Black / Grey - Red / Yellow
Black / Red - Yellow / Black - Sport
Excellent instructions. It helped me get the wiring correct just by working with Mike 😉 thanks as always for the great support
I've had the Speedway 5 for a month now, bought it from them. Customer service is top notch! However, 2nd day I rode the scooter, controller broke down. They sent me a replacement controller a week after. Then used it casually for almost 3 weeks, the controller broke down again this morning. No other issues I've found since owning the Speedway 5 except for the controller.
The rear wheel in the video (8:28) is rotating clockwise, which is in reverse. So when you have put all the wiring back in its place and test it, you'll find the rear wheel locking up as it is going against forward rotation. It should be rotating anti-clockwise.
Wonder if the controller issue is fixed or upgraded with new models, since it is quite known to easily burn out, specially with single motor mode.
ello, should you connect the + terminal first to the controller?
Hello im from Portugal, and i have a question for you, I want to add a second 500w motor in scooter its possible to use only one motor controller thanks
is it the same wire map on a dualtron 3?
Hi I’m going to purchase one of these tomoro second hand. If there is a controller failure what is the best option for me to do as I fear this will happen to me
Is it a common issues that it needs changing? Also how these are available in EU?
Any chance of a more exact wiring diagram to indicate what each wire does?
👍
Does this occur often?
Good day! I have a spider. Can you please tell me how to lower the rear suspension? ((I’m not heavy and I don’t need anything like that. The back end is very tall. Thank you!
will minimotors ever start using the new 21700 cells in their e scooters soon?
Is there a specific order for disconnecting and reconnecting the battery wires? I'm worried about burning out the connectors since the battery has no disconnect..
Hi. The cable of my scooter's charging port got torn. I connected it through the soldier iron. I connected the cable 1 from cable 3, 2 is empty. So, now when I put it on charging it shows fully charged in about some time. But when I drive it, it battery discharged very quickly. I can't drive it.
Hi I would like to know if you have a diagram or color plan for the speedway controller wiring please think bro
Soooooo, they break a lot ! What other hidden issues do these things have ? Motor burnout in 6 months ? Battery replacement every year ?
Hi there I have the Emove touring kind of similar to this, what I want to ask you is the 4 bolts under the deck you said for the motor controller well can you take those 4 out? As in do you need them. I only ask because 2 of mine were cross threaded when I tried tightening them up so i just left those out and my thinking is they can be air vents to cool the battery/motor down or am I barking mad?
The bottom bolts on the underside are what hold the entire front end and folding mechanism together. Either replace the part or find someone who knows how to repair threads/drill and tap new ones.
RabidIRL problem is one of the holes that wasn't tightening up when you look down the hole it looks like part of the controller is over the hole blocking the whole bolt getting through to tighten fully.
@@thew4rrior5code one. Contact them and they can help you with the how to in detail. But you have half the bolts that keep the two halves together removed right now.
RabidIRL yes there's 4 bolts under my deck on yours there's like 6 I don't know if they're both doing the same thing on both our scooters? Anyway I've ridden with all 4 off nothing happened but I have since put 2 bolts back in. I can get a 3rd in albeit a different sized bolt but it looks stupid having 3 in with 1 missing so to make it look symmetrical I kept the back 2 in
@@thew4rrior5codethat doesn't change the functionality of the bolts. The larger scooter has more, logical. If you keep it that way, eventually it will fail. If you get hurt, that's not my fault. Do with the knowledge what you want, but I suggest contacting Voro about it.
Or you can mark em all with stickers (with numbers on them) before unplugging. =) Like 1 to 1, 2 to 2. etc.
Great idea
Any updates from MiniMotors. Thinking of buying this scooter if they have already corrected their newer models.
Same. Sent them an email today to see if the controller issue is better. I really don't want to miss out on the current sale so I'm going to probably go for it. I don't see a lot of complaints in the last ten months about the failing controllers so worst case scenario they have to send me a new one
Max Hardison some riders have said when in hi speed 30+ mph scooter goes too much left and right. Which makes the ride a little scary
@@bahmanr9261 I ultimately just decided it was too much scooter for someone just looking for a simple commute and maybe a little light fun on the weekends. Decided to go a lot cheaper with a Fluid Free Ride Horizon. I think that's a good entry point and doesn't break the bank
Hi, I have a speedway 5, my rear motor is working, but my front motor just kinda gets stuck/shakes but doesn’t move, also it has some resistance even if ur just pushing the scooter (this is all in dual motors mode) is it a controller problem ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Likely the controller, I just received my SW5 on Friday and it had a similar problem. Front motor has no power, but you will feel intermittent resistance when turned by hand. After testing and diagnosis (swap front motor phase wires with rear, front motor works), I spoke with my vendor and they are drop shipping a new controller to me this week.
Jay Lee hi thanks for the information, hope it goes well, I am being sent a new controller aswell. Would be nice in Dualtron did many more tutorial videos on common problems and how to fix things. Had trouble popping my front wheel out, when I expected it to just drop out. Would be nice if there was a video on general maintaince of the scooters. Thanks anyways good luck with urs :)
I don't see a Red/White wire to connect the Red/White -to Red/Blue with Jacket to connect. Is this right?
Nevermind..Got it.
What’s that stand called I need to buy one if anyone knows let me know please thank you.
I feel like you never reconnected the red wire you used the pin object to remove it from the old controller. Where does that go?
Sorry must not have made the edit. It goes to the white wire on the controller. Same as removal. czcams.com/video/FGbfK-vC1Hw/video.html
Are u delivering those scooters to Europe?
Papp Sebastian Georgian I ordered mine through www.wee-bot.com
Does the MCU break more often in the Speedway V?
I bought a Speedway 5 in June, and my controller just stopped working 2 days ago. What a pain in the butt to get to the wires and do the job.
Hii how to setting up speed limits on speed way v please give me a response
heya guy have wired a 12v horn to any of the dualtrons, reallly want to do this to be safe on the road
My scooter is two weeks old and this just happened. What's the point of replacing it if it will just happen again due to bad resistor? What is the permanent fix?
All the resistors are changed to new ones on all replacement controllers so it shouldn't happen again. We use 3 - 201 resistors to replace the single 680 on each side of the controllers.
Ended up having to get a refund. Your vendor Ewheels swapped out the controller and shipped it back to me with bent disc brakes and a handle bar that wouldn't lock in place, very dangerous. They ignored all requests for help so PayPal had to solve the dispute. After that experience I can no longer feel confident in Minimotor products.
it seems with dual motors u there are more things that can go wrong than if u only have 1
Wow seriously?!! I didn't even know there was 4 screws underneath that held the motor in place. I'm doing a stem replacement and I for the life of me couldn't figure out how I was going to get every wire out of the top of the stem. Plus the pin that holds the stem to the bars is a pain in the ass to get out. I wish they had a repair manual that came with my speedway.
Hello color câble power line contact. On. off please
This problem is often found on the speedway 5. I had the same problem. The problem is a weak resistor. It burns out and one motor stops working. It is enough to replace it with a more powerful one, for example 2Watts. And do not have to change the entire controller. Repair is very cheap. Change on both controllers at once
Do you know the exact specification on that resistor? I might as well try to change it to a more powerful one. Thank you

@@1ngl0rious thank you!
@@1ngl0rious I don't know if that is 089 or 680? I want to buy it but I want make sure I get the right one. Thank you so much

hi! my name is Gabriel, I have a problem with my Speedway Leger and I hope you can help me solve it, I will explain everything to you, first of all please excuse my bad English:
When I drive with My Speesway Leger, it brakes suddenly, "honestly it's really scary", the display always stays on during the problem and when I accelerate again nothing happens and when I want to push it, the motor wheel locks , can't push it I have to turn it off for a second or two and when I turn it back on the motor wheel unlocks and I can ride for a short while and again the same scenario, can you help me to solve this problem, one more thing, I unplugged all the wires (connectors) that are connected to the controller and now I can't reconnect them because I don't know which wire (connectors) was connected with which wire (connector), the stupidity that I did was not to take a note, I beg you kindly send me a diagram or a tutorial or the like, so that I can correctly reconnect all the wires (connectors) because I don't want to burn the controller, in trying to reconnect all the wires (connectors) anyhow.
Here is my email address: gabymellul@hotmail.com
Thank you
Cordially
Maybe if I would’ve seen this video years ago I wouldn’t have bought my speedway 5 it’s been 3years now and I haven’t change a motor yet.
The repair wasn't easy. With all of the white grease everywhere and very tight space for the wires.. No service for them in the New York City area.
It was a nightmare, sent mine back for a refund, done with their DIY scooters you pay thousands for!
I was very serious about buying one now I’m I’m not going to
Raymond Ruiz why ?
I was hoping maintenance free
@@raymondruiz7196 For $2000+ you'd figure you'd get a product that works out of the box. I don't see that as an unrealistic expectation.
that's not good when you make a video showing how to change the controller on the speedway V. I mean that scooter hasn't been out that long. I think you might just have hurt your sales on the speedway V.
they just wanna help people, honesty is the key. Shit happens
@@Eckoolt they made a video on replacing the controllers on most of the scooters they sell. Jpo orr
At least their honest about how fox and repair the scooter 🛴
8:32 you are totally fail :) always change wires and don't put blue with blue and green with green ;)
How tf did it work then? this aint a fucking bomb buddy
