Tried this and it didn't make a difference, at first I thought I could hear the motor attempting to spin after the throttle was engaged and pedelec was no longer being pedalled but it wasn't. I even tried taking it out for a ride and seeing if the throttle would work once I had used the pedelec...

Forgive the late response, I've been away for a few months The 4.4v is the throttle voltage stated on the sticker attached to the controller casing. I've just ordered a new controller from bmsbattery.com I went for the ku65 controller, hopefully it can be swapped out for the one in the...

I have tried your suggestion and nothing happened. It was the first thing I tried. I tried it with the pedelec disconnected too.

The bike came complete and I've already been trying to contact the manufacturer and distributor but have not received a reply in over 2 months when I first mailed them regarding a different issue with the bike (turned out to be a faulty ignition switch)

I did ask in the forum before I bought a throttle if it was a case of just wiring it up and it would override the pedelec automatically, I was told that was the case. I will try your test and post results. So the pedelec could be the cause of the throttle not working then?

The controller works and is currently running well using pedelec, it came prebuilt and I wanted to add a throttle to it as the controller has the functionality but the throttle wasn't fitted due to the manufacturer having two models one for USA with throttle and one for UK without. The Throttle...

I'm trying to add a throttle to my E-bike and it's just not working.. The controllers throttle wires are black/red/green and the wires from my throttle are black/red/white I connected red to red and black to black and green to white but nothing happened when the bike was on and i pressed the...

Sorry to revive an old thread I have the same controller as the op LSW70A and I'm experiencing the same red flashing light and no movement to the motor with the throttle engaged. My controller functions perfectly other than not be able to use a throttle. It came in an off the shelf ebike and I...

Thanks Jeremy, I had looked for a replacement barrel but couldn't find one. I think I will buy the one you suggested. I'm now trying to find a reasonably priced thumb throttle that ships from the UK, I've seen one on eBay that I will probably buy. My only concern is the fact my bike has a grip...

The pedelec control display on the handlebars already shows a battery gauge so I think I just want want a basic thumb throttle. I've seen a few that have 2 wires and some with 3 wires coming from the throttle. How can I determine which wires from the controller are for the throttle and will the...

I did contemplate replacing the ignition for a switch (ignition barrell seems like a bit of overkill for a mountain bike) but I'll probably leave it as it is until it really starts acting up. My next task is to fit a throttle/thumb throttle just not sure which of the wires on my controller are...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help in these forums.. Turns out the problem wasn't the Controller or the BMS, it was the ignition. I desoldered the wiring for the ignition and cleaned it up and then re-soldered the wires and the fault still seems to happen but its the actual switch inside...

Eureka!! :D If I apply pressure to the area marked in the pic (one of the connections from the ignigtion must be loose) then I get 41.7v through to the bikes controller and the bike seems to work! (havn't tested fully) I stumbled upon this whilst checking various voltages of wires coming from...

Ok, I'll have to give it a go at some point during the week as I don't have the resources lying around to do this I'll take another pic with some light shining on the capacitor area in the lid

The capacitor is tucked away in the top of the battery case lid next to the ignition, I'm presuming its a capacitor as I can't get it out but it is cylindrical in shape. one of those wires runs to the neg coming off the BMS and the other is going to the positive off the BMS even though they are...
