First I want to thank you for providing this forum, it has been a great help to me to learn the basics of electric scooters.
I purchased a 2000w 72v electric scooter about a year ago. It's a chinese scooter and has performed well until I had a flat rear tire and had to remove the rear wheel that also contains the hub motor. To make a stressful long story short, when I was reattaching everything I neglected to turn off the circuit breaker and mistakenly bumped the yellow motor wire (pic, bottom right) in between the red and black wires on the block. This resulted in a loud pop and spark and now the motor no longer runs when the throttle is twisted.
I tried for 2 weeks to obtain a wiring diagram from the online dealer to help to troubleshoot the scooter without success. I'm not sure if the motor is damaged, or the controller. My dealer wants $350.00 just for a controller. The lights, horn, signals still work. I have kept the batteries charged every 5-7 days.
Any help anyone might give would be greatly appreciated. I am without a car right now and I depend on the scooter to get to work 5 days a week. Thank you so much!
