I have waited well over three weeks since my bike broke. I have walked at least 50 miles on a leg that needs surgery. I ordered 100 dollars’ worth of parts. I just spent the entire night hooking up a cheap Chinese controller to a toggle switch hooked up to a pot because nobody on this forum can tell me where I can get a controller that will work with a throttle that has cheap Chinese cruise control.
I didn't get the throttle from dogman yet. UPS delivered it today and someone signed for it
Hopefully it was a neighbor who left for work this morning and I will still get it. I called UPS and they couldn’t even give me a name and address. Could have been anybody walking by. Looks like UPS is a bunch of morons. I would have at least looked at an ID and put the name and address in a computer.
The Chinese controller had a wiring diagram on top but was in Chinese. None of the plugs were the same as the stock currie controller but one. The motor wire on the old one was blue and green, heavy gauge wire. The new controller had a plug the same but the wires were blue and yellow heavy gauge. I plugged in the motor wires.
Now maby yu all can understand why I wanted to bypass the controller with relay switches on
Some of my earlier posts, I knew shit like this was going to happen. I don’t know shit about controllers,
The power wires were totally different plugs but same color wires on both controllers, red and black also heavy gauge wire. I switched the plugs and plugged in the power wire to the switch in the back of the controller box. I made sure switch was off.
The throttle plug should have three wires I thought. Only one plug on the new controller did. I plugged it into the throttle hal sensor plug. Also three wires. New controller wires were blue black and red. old controller were red black and green.
The old controller also had a candanse sensor plug, 2 brake inhibit plugs , a throttle battery plug and a throttle pass tag plug, all left unplugged.
The new controller had three plugs with a red and black wire going to each one. One of the plugs had a sticker on it about the size of a price tag with red Chinese writing on it. All those were unplugged. There may have been a couple other unplugs also.
The three wires for the throttle hal sensor red black and green plugged into the only three wire plug from the new controller which had red black and blue wires. Had to switch plugs again though.as the new controller plug was different,
The three wires coming out of the harness on the right handlebars were the red black and green wires. I hooked the black wire to the on off switch as I knew it was negative or ground. I also hooked the black wire up to the center connector of the pot.
Nothing worked. Bike is still a piece of shit.
Was the throttle hal sensor plug the right plug? . And does the black wire go to the center terminal of the pot? or does it go according to my wiring diagram for the pot and throttle where I used the red wire for the center of the pot and for the on off switch. Please let me know.
If I get the throttle from dogman I will try that. I still want to use both that way I will get full power up a hill with the throttle but still get to use cruise control with the pot by flicking a switch.as I showed on my previous post.
Mounting the switch, pot and three 22Ah lead batteries each weighing 13 pounds to the triangle of the bike with 6 bungee cords only and no gorilla tape this time were my only accomplishments tonight. Used electrical tape for the switch and pot though but everything’s really secure and ready for photos. Silicone over the battery terminals will reduce short probability during wet weather,
If I knew about controllers I wouldn’t be asking you guys. Please help me out here
If you can’t tell me how to hook up this cheap Chinese controller then you could at least tell me where I can get an american or english controller that I can use with a throttle that has cruise control.. Please. send me the links.
And if you cant find me a controller or tell me how to hook up mine then I designed a switch for the bike but need to know who can build it. Should not need resisters on this one, Might not know about cheap chineese controllers but went to collage for electrical technology. need 14 creditis for degree.Will pay experienced ES member for switch.
