Hi guys, I have electric snowblower and I want to us its motor (see pictures) with a E-Bike controler. Is it possible? I have nothing to drive this controler (no grip).
Can I short some molex 5v pins connection to activated the motor?

Nothing work for now.

This is common to a few systems of less power i have had hands on experience with.. The wires heading for a display/switch pins #1 and #2 red(bat voltage) , blue (switch on) can be shorted together to turn on most systems, then either a correct pulse signal on the pas sensor input or a reduced/resisted <4.5v >1.5v voltage applied to the signal wire intended to plug into a throttle may start it if its a bldc and not brushed motor. (4.5v--full pelt)
 
Most controllers have a safety feature that disables output if the throttle signal is outside the allowable range. You may need to use some resistors to make the throttle signal 4.5v.
Another option is to get a throttle (thumb throttle?) and try it.
