Can I Swap These Wires Going to Throttle?

Hi! I'm about to buy a replacement motor controller for my eZip Trailz electric bicycle, and am looking for advice on whether this cheap replacement would work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Electr...732612?hash=item1a331dad44:g:3l8AAOSwBwBZkz9R There is one connection that does not match up with my old motor controller and that one connects with the throttle. Instead of the 2-wires connecting from the controller to the green wire coming from the throttle, the one on ebay has 3 wires (signal, positive and negative). I'm not sure whether the throttle would work with this interface. Here's the wiring diagram for my old controller. As you can see 2 wires (brown/yellow) connect to a green wire from throttle. https://imgur.com/a/6kpQu Would love to hear your thoughts ! 8)
 
It looks like the throttle also contains the on/off switch and a battery level indicator LED. Your replacement controller probably won't work with the on/off button and you would need to add a switch or key somewhere to turn it on/off.
