Do you have full pack voltage at the controller? I'm sure you need something other than just the throttle connected to make it go. There is an "ignition" line or something coming from the key switch or whatever switch you use to turn it on.
Interestingly I don't have the full volltage at the controller...it was only about 4.0v..
I've measured the following
Battery plus > Battery minus = 71V
Battery plus > BMS B- = 71V
Battery plus > BMS C- = 59V
Battery plus > Controller minus (& Charger minus) = 59V
Battery plus > Controller positive (& Charger positive) = 56V
Battery plus > Fuse in = 56V
Battery plus > Fuse out = 0V
Battery plus > AS 150 Connector = 0V
Battery plus > Battery plus = 0v
So somewhere the BMS takes away about 12V and the controller another 3V an the fuse kills it. I've tried both 'on' and 'off'. It doesn't matter which cables go in which side of the fuse right?
Yeah I do have a 'start' button on the Super Soco, will see where that needs to go with the Votol.
I've also tried connecting the Votol to my W10 Laptop. The adapter is recognized in the Device Manager as COM5 Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port. COM 5 is also in the software (VOTOL-EM-V3 Software Debugging) and I get D-Status connected. However whenever I press 'Connect' it says: "Communication abnormal, no response". I'm currently reading in the Votol topic on how to solve this (

Tried the V3 CAN, V3 Non Can and V3 Sport software versions, all report the same error.
EDIT: Would it be wise (read not dangerous) to disconnect the connectors, put the fase wires together (with some tape) and then plug it in again to see if it makes a difference?
