no throttle on my gio scooter

[lwontca]

hi i was riding my scooter and hit a pot hole and then i had no throttle. I pushed it for a bit then i bounced on it and it started going on its own no throttle control at all. Once i got it home and turned it off then tried it again nothing just lights horn signals and dash board.
Any ideas thanks

Probably the throttle itself, or it's connection. Could be a magnet came off inside the throttle, and is no longer activating teh hall sensor right.

Pot hole hit might have damaged or loosened a hall sensor in the motor. Search all wire connections first.

To prevent this in the future, i recommend the following.

Upgrade to 132v of lipo straight up.
Purchase a lyen controller.

Upon seeing the pothole, pop the scooter up on its back wheel by going WOT an clear the hole in an evil kenevil style manner.

Pull over and bitches will come.


discclaimer - bitches coming may or may not be grossly inaccurate.

How many large wires do you have coming from your hub motor? Two, or three?

 

[lwontca]

hi there are three large wires blue green andyellow

Then it is most likely a brushless 3-phase motor, and you must use a brushless controller to run it. If the one on the scooter is not working, you could use an external one to test it. I would first check with Lyen here on ES for a tester, though, as that will help you figure out what the problem part is.

thanks very much i will see if i can find him

If the motor has three wires (like most ebike hub motors) you will need a brushless controller to test it with.
