So I'm meeting a little help with a couple controllers that I purchased! There of the cheap Chinese kind LOL. Anyways they're dual mode was a learning wire so I obviously know that the three phase wires need to be connected however the hall sensors do not. the thick red and black wires are for battery voltage positive and negative. And The thin Red wire is the ignition or locked door if you will I guess.

Been there is a single black wire with a male end on the plug. a single orange wire with a female end. Red and black wires labeled anti-theft power supply female. the two white single wires for learning. The white and black wires for low voltage brake, the blue black and brown for three speed switch. Single yellow wire with a male end for a high level break. A red blue and yellow male end labeled burglar alarm. A male end on a purple wire and a female and on a green wire. And then a red black and green labeled turn handle which I'm assuming is throttle.

So currently I have one controller hooked up to a scooter with only the three phase wires, the power wires, the throttle, the three speed switch with the blue and black wires shorted together to default high speed, and the ignition wire and I've already connected the learning wires and the wheel has successfully rolled forward to which I disconnected the two white learning wires. That being said however given throttle the wheel does not turn this unit does not have a display either so what am I doing wrong

Some self learning routines require you to shut down the controller after disconnecting the self learning wires in order to retain the settings.
Also, if you're running sensorless, you may want to try giving the motor a little nudge when applying the throttle.
 
So I didn't d give the nudge to no avail!!! 🤣 However I did not do the shutdown and restart to save the settings but that makes sense I'll give that a try. I also shortly after posting this thread thought to myself I potentially could have a bad throttle hence the reason for changing the controller in the first place was due to part malfunction from overvoltage so there's a potential chance that the throttle took a hit too
