If you know nothing about ebikes, I would say some really important basic info to be aware of is as follows (and for the learned members of this forum, I totally understand the hilarity of me talking technical or seeking to teach in relation to ebikes, it is like listening to a Creationist explain Darwin's theory of evolution - it makes everyone uncomfortable how dangerously close to being accurate the information is, but tends to leave out really core important parts):
The "hall wires" are the five thin wires. Of these, the red and black are the positive and negative of the halls, and the the other three colours relate to the three hall sensors inside the motor which relate to each of the three phases of the motor (these wires tell the controller where the motor is positioned).
The phase wires are the thicker three wires (usually green, yellow, blue). Each of these deliver the power to each phase, don't ever let them touch each other (as in the naked wire or connections), or your will create a short and blow your controller. Be aware that the colour of the hall and phase wires on the motor may or may not match up to the colours of the hall and phase wires on the controller (this can change depending on whether each were sourced from different places - I have no idea about cell_man's stuff, but check the forum for colour combos or send him an email/message and ask him) My advice to remember how important this issue is, is to think of the likelihood that the colours of the phase and halls on the controller and motor matching like for like, is as likely as the colours of the actors in internet porn matching. They will almost always be different. Ok that is a bad example, because in internet porn it will always be male black on female white, but almost never the other way around. In this case there are colours other than black and white, so it is a really bad example. Forget everything I said about internet porn.
The red and black thick wires on the controller are the positive and negative wires, and these are the wires that take the power into the controller. There is also usually a thin red wire, which is like an "ignition" wire. A switch can be put on this, and when turned on it will power up the controller, and can be turned off (search the forum on this, because Cell_man has some kind of pre-charge resistor thingy magig, which needs to be considered - that would be in a footnote if I had that facility). Be aware even when off, whilst this means the controller is not "live", power will still be flowing into the caps in the controller, and can mean if left for weeks in this state unused/charged, can flatten the battery.
Finally, treat an ebike like a dangerous powertool. Don't use it if you are drunk, or alternatively, if you are going to use it when drunk, make sure a friend is videotaping you, so that hilarity can be recorded for the enjoyment of others, and to remind you that you are basically just a shaved monkey who started wearing clothes.
That last point also applies to women, drugs, cars, motorbikes..... come to think of it..... anything that makes living worthwhile....
again as Dogman mentioned... Have you connected the battery? looking at the pics it appears to me there are no connectors on the main power wires, thick Red and Black wires...
