Hey one and all, newb here and i have a situation that i need anyone's assistance. See, i told a big mouth friend of mine that i always wanted a EBIKE to ride and i thought it would be fun. Well old big mouth went around the neighborhood telling everyone about and everyone started bringing me different things to build a bike. I mean anything they could locate, Controllers,Throttles, displays, Motors ,bikes etc. Problem is i cant get the ones i truly want to work. none of the items have labels on them so i'm stuck with the task of hard wiring after i've figured out where everything goes and what they do not to mention figuring out what is compatible and how to make it work....Whheeww! SO as you can tell "I NEEEEDDDD HEEELLLLPPPP!!!! aurghhhh!!! I'm including photos of some of the items i have can you please help me sort through this nightmare Ppppllleeeaaassseee!!!!!!!!

Generally, if a specific display didn't come with a specific controller, they wont' work together. So if each was given to you separately, you probably can't use them together.

To figure out the wiring, I recommend looking up other threads where people are trying to get various items to work together; other people's posts in those threads helping them to do so will help you figure out at least where to start. Tommycat's posts often have specific advice, so threads where he's helping someone figure out the wiring may be more helpful.

There are no followed standards for wiring order, color, connectors, etc. So don't assume anything about wire colors--you have to check *everything* for what it *actually* connects to inside devices.

If you don't, you may connect high voltage to low voltage devices, and destroy the stuff you're trying to work with.

Since you don't know whether anything you have works, then you won't know if it was already broken or if a miswire broke it, or what the miswire was, etc.

Some devices have engraved labelling, or molded into the plastics, etc. Or on labels. Googling parts of the information on them often leads to wiring information for them, or even manuals on how to operate them. I can clearly see a label on at least two items in your pics, so if you don't see labels on them (your post said none have any) then you may want to take a second look. ;)


And: even if you get it all wired up, it may not be capable of doing what you want the bike to do for you, under your specific riding conditions. So you may have to buy new parts to replace those bits that aren't sufficiently capable. Before you buy new parts, sit down and define a list of what you want the bike to do, and how you want it to do that. (speed, range, acceleration, features). Then make a list of the conditions it has to do this under. (wind, weather, hills (how steep? how long?), road conditions (paved, smooth, rough, gravel, dirt?). Then you can use that to figure out what each part has to be able to do, and then look for new parts that can do those things. (there are threads that help with this, too, if you read around the forum).
 
thnx for the input but you made things a little more confusing....lol!! n e wayz thanks again and ill do my best. Oh, one quick question... Do you know the pinout for a SHENZEN KECHUANGQI 36V controller.
 
a big mouth friend of mine

Why are you choosing to have your friend decide what you do? Sell the parts and in the meantime buy what you want.

However, if your secret desire is to know all there is to know about all the e-bike electronics in the world, I'd say you are taking the right approach.
 
You are making everything extremely complicated and chance of success highly unlikely.

1. Define what you need. How and where to ride.
2. Get a bike (if you don't have one yet) and a kit that would meet your requirements and convert it to electric.

You wouldn't go to a scrap yard, collect some random parts and try to assemble a car, would you?
 
Well I do think there is a value and also a certain beauty in getting things to work together even when they weren't ever supposed to, it's not just aesthetics.

Trying to work out that thought into words just made me think of 'Max Max' and the cars in those movies ( though I probably picked one of the worst ).

I do almost everything this way...originally probably because I couldn't afford to do it any other, and because nobody makes things the way I need them to be, and then it kinda just became a way I am really good at. Y'all've seen my rides.... ;)

Even my music is done this way; for instance these are three recent ones are built of sounds not intended to be used together or in this way, from different companies...

Yes we have :)

Gareki -> mystic, like I'm some kind of fairy land
If I should Wake -> Nordic vibes, makes me think of longboats, vikings and tall blond women
A peek over the wall -> The background 'chorus' made me think of a church choir for some reason

All in all, music would do great on an acid trip I suppose... or truffels.

Anyway, getting things to work in ways they weren't supposed to is half the fun ( and one and a half frustration ). That one half fun is such a reward though.
 
You only need the 3 phase wires( thick) yellow, blue , green, and the Hall wires( thin) red, black, yellow, blue, green. Power wires(thick) red , black. Throttle wires (3 pin) red, green, black. After plugging those from motor to controller, lift motor and carefully quickly plug then unplug the White wires that connect (( learn wire). It will match the other wires, but it spins full throttle and can cause the cranks to spin if it goes in reverse. If the wheel spins backwards after unplugged just plug and quickly unplug again to change rotation.
