How do i wire this throttle to my controller

[blueblizzard7]

Hey Guys,

This is my very first E-Bike and I have what seems like a very basic question. I'm wondering how to wire up my twist throttle to my controller because some of the wire colors do not match up.

I have black, red, yellow and green wires coming from the throttle while there are black, red, white and purple wires coming from the controller.

This is what I think it is:
(throttle -> controller)
black -> black
red -> red
yellow -> white
green -> purple

Is this right?

Best to post some pics of what controller and throttle.

Mine goes:
*Thrtl - *Contr
black -black
white - green
red - red

Or connect them and see what works? That is my general approach when I don't know, and can't find the info easily. So far I've only destroyed about $400 of equipment I don't own :?

Correct me if I'm wrong oh wise ones electrical demi-gods of the forum, but if you are not connecting power lines in reverse polarity, or connecting power where there is supposed to be a signal, or in some way mixing power/signal lines, you should be safe. It is I think, usually hard to wreck stuff at the mA levels of current.

You can try this link---look at the service bullitenshttp://www.electricscooterparts.com/throttles.html

As dozentrio says, you can play mix & match until you get it to work---I know many people do it. I would write down all the possible combination's so you don't miss one & cross them off as you go. Using some alligator clips would make it easier.

Chances are, you are on the right track with that combo.
