Hooking up a two wire motor to controller

[Distortion9936]

I am new to building, and am trying to hook up a 36v 450w gear reduction motor to my controller, but the motor only has a two wire connector, and won't work with my controller. I am wondering if there is any way to get it to work with my current controller here is the motors

I don't really understand your question, but, I belive that is a brushed motor and the controller you point to has all the wires labeled, of which two go to the motor. You have to hit the enlarge button on the controller page to see the wire labels.

A lot of those wires on the controller aren't required. You do need a throttle, which has to be properly hooked to the three throttle wires. You do need a 36V battery, which needs to be properly hooked to the battery wires, positive to red and negative to black. You should add a switch, any kind, key,toggle,etc., to the red switch wires.

I don't know which wire from the controller to the motor is positive and which is negative, but most brushed motors will simply run backwards if you hook these two wires up wrong.

You indicate the motor all right but you only give the page for all the controllers. So it's a little hard to help you when we don't know what controller you talking about. The motor you indicated is a common Currie style brushed motor so it will have only 2 wires. And for the most part the controllers are also for brushed motors. Most of the motors have a spec and wiring sheet so if you identify the controller we can advise you what wire goes where.

PS...you may also need to install a jumper if the controller has a switch lock connector on it.

Sorry, I thought that I had linked to the pic of the right controller. The controller is CT-660B9 36V 1000W Electric Scooter Speed Controller.

Okay, I was looking at the wrong picture, but everything I said earlier still applies. Just link to the right controller, and there is a place to click that says "wiring directions", and every wire is identified by color. Hooking this controller up to the battery, throttle, switch, and motor should be very straight forward once you know the proper colors for each.

Thanks I didn't see that page.

Remember what I told you about the "key switch" connector. You will likely need to jumper it before the controller will work or install an actual switch. I jumper all of mine with a paper clip and then work fine then.
