Throttle wiring

I had one like that a few months ago. It worked fine with my controller.
It had 4 wires (if I remember correctly):
Black = Battery negative
Red = 5V (power for throttle)
Green = Throttle level (about 0.7V to 4.5V)
Orange = Battery positive (this is for the green, amber and red LED battery level indicator)
The red button on mine was for cruise control. IN = cruise on, OUT = off.

What exactly do you want to do?
The wires on the throttle SHOULD be...
3 wire for throttle +5v/Ground/variable line
1 wire for LEDs +(battery pack positive)
2 wire for red button.
Now they have an extra wire (which I would guess would be for battery pack negative)
What does the button currently do and what do you want the throttle button to do and we can go from there...
P.S. If you're in the South Florida area, we could meet up and I could help you much faster/easier.

I don't know if it's such a good idea to have the throttle control hooked up to the button..
Those throttles are known to be quite finicky in terms of weather (rain)..
I'd be curious to know if it's hooked up to the +5v, gnd or variable line.
(I know a few controllers make your motor go WOT if the Neg line is disconnected during movement...)
Let's hope, your button is not hooked up to the gnd line.
That's a really strange setup...
Does your controller have a "control line"? (it would be hooked up to a key switch.)
(Small thin red wire next to main positive).
On those throttles, I've ALWAYS hooked up that switch to the control line and the LED battery power line.
(They both are battery pack voltage but have no amp draw to worry about)
This way, when switch is "out" power to controller is "off" and so are the LEDs..
With switch "in" power to control line is supplied (controller on) and LEDs are lit.
P.S. It's also good if you don't have a key switch to begin with..

You sure you want your young child doing 25mph+ on the road with crazy frigging Florida drivers riding along side?!?!
How old is he... (Technically, he's not allowed to ride an ebike unless he's 15 or older)...
If he gets into an accident with it and someone's car, say goodbye to that bike and possibly your child..
Make sure that throttle is NOT hooked up to the ground line...
if it is, change it immediately..

I think he freaked out!!
LOL.. Dude, I'm not with "law enforcement" or anything like that...
But you have to realize, if "Johnny Law" sees your kid riding down the street doing 25mph on that thing, he's gonna get curious and pull him over.
Just trying to watch out for ya..
Best bet is to get a Stand Alone Cycle Analyst and limit the speed to 20mph, just to be on the "safe side".
