Hi all,
I am busy wiring up my new bike build and have solved a few wiring problems regards throttle connection etc.
But I am a bit stuck and confused on the regenerative brake set up.
I will running through a CA3.
This means the only control to the controller is via a throttle signal wire.
However,
I also have a left hand throttle to use as regenerative brake control.
My controller has input for low brake (One wire to ground, I guess to cut the controller power - but this will be done by the CA3)
One wire labelled 'brake connect 12v or nothing'
One 3 wire plug for brake throttle, 5v, gnd and signal.
Am I right in thinking that I can just connect my throttle (Left braking one) to the brake throttle input and this will operate the regen, or do I have to have the 12v connected as well.
It should be simple, but for some reason I am finding it confusing.
I should add, my plan would be to pull the brake lever (Front brake) to cut power and then add regen via the throttle.
