Whoever you are Thank you so much - I changed from a brushed to a Brushless and the Blue and yellow wires had me in despair - Now I fully understand how to switch the new controller on - Thank you From Wales in UK xx
When I first heard your voice on the video, I smiled. I hadn’t seen your videos in awhile, but always love them. This is exactly how my dad would teach us how to repair stuff. The paper clips scare me every time. I have shorted quite a bit of stuff using them, no matter how careful I am. Thanks for the great work!

I'm new and I have an Evercross H9 scooter 48,volt 14.9aH battery , 28mph with an 800 watt in it, I want to build it so to speak to a 48v 1500 watt and a 1500 watt controller if this is what I need to achieve the speed of 40ish mph..
OMG THANK YOU!!! You are amazing. Seriously, you are the most informative person I have come across when explaining the throttle and how it connects for the different styles and different controller types.
Having explored this a little while I was still not confident enough with the blue and yellow throttle-switch wires. The 1st part of your video explained it perfectly for me. Thank you!
Always a great job communicating technicalities and communicating the joy of e-vehicles. Thanks.
I can't thank you enough, I've been stuck on my project for a couple of weeks trying to find a way to add a key switch to my ebike. I tried to connect one and blew it up TWICE, I have been scared to try it again. But now that I SEE exactly what to do I can be more confident. Countless diagrams can't replace the actual watching of the wiring. THANK YOU!!!
Fantastic. Mate your video is the clearest I have watched on this subject. You explain thongs extremely well and you get straight to the point. Thanks.
Bless your heart thank you so much for your time…….. same controller I have and I have been working on this for days it’s crazy. I know how to solder but the hook up one of these you save me a lot of time.. you’re the 15th video I’ve come across I wish your video was number one but I learned quite a bit from the other videos too. Just not how to do this basic for a lot of people which makes it a learning process for me!
Most helpful video out there! Thank you so much!!! Every detail explained in the simplest way possible!❤❤❤
I agree with @Douglas K - Your flow is sublime, the way the mind asks questions as the information comes in - you pop in with the relevant answer right on time and then keep going as if you anticipated the question and "plugged in" an "aside". So easy to follow. I believe you are a gifted human being - a teacher.
Thank you so much for showing how to connect switch and volts display to a brushed controller
Man I’ve learned the most from you, and then most other e-bike KZreadrs even with your accent I understand everything you’re saying thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I have been planning for a long time to put the throttle with the display and key on my xioami Scooter just for a bit of fun and anti-theft, it's working perfectly. I am totally happy about it. You have explained it so well that it was quite easy for me to follow as a beginner in electrical stuff mostly there are no plans for wiring on controllers and and. Keep up the good work, well appreciated 👍😊 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Best , tutorial. Absolutely no question to any thing left. Cheers, tyvm.
Great 👍 keep up with the good work 👏 scared the living day light of dealing with anything electrical, you rock 👍 Thanks again for your great content 👍
great video! You did a great job explaining everything! Thanks for sharing!
BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Thanks a lot man !! You are the best .
Thank you for last 5 min video❤
awesome, I figured it out correctly! Now I can proceed, with you proving that wire code.
Top notch tutorial. I'm new to the electric bike world and the videos with a little machanibility I've become the local escooter handyman. Thanks for the knowledge. #Each1Teach1. 👍👍👍
This answer my exact question thank you so much for the video!
Thank you for such detailed information. I am considering changing a thumb drive to a keyed throttle. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot man appreciate the hell out of it couldn't have done it without you
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. You should be teaching in a class. You explain everything so thoroughly that even a newbie like myself can understand what you're doing. I don't know how you learned all that electronics theory but keep up the great work. Those controllers have so many wires and I didn't think they came with wiring schematics. Anyway, the way you explain things makes it seem so simple and you even show the results of the connections which makes it even better. I would never attempt the things you're doing as I would likely short out the controllers or burn down my house. I know how to use a multimeter but still... I'm a bit careless at times.
Your video is exceptional!! Great work! I thought you'd like to know that even Amazon Customer Service directed me to this video in order to figure out the wiring. I'd already found it, but, I thought you might like to know. Thank you for your appreciated effort.
Always appreciate ur videos 👍🏻
Clear intruction! thanks teacher! ❤
Thanks for the video. I've put together two e bikes, and this video helps to fill in the blanks.
Best tutorial I ever seen.
You are the Man, a life saver.
I was looking for this tx so much for sharing this.
Good knowledge. People always think it is hard to get two connectors to work, Just cut off the connection that is odd, and solder in the same type. plug it in and go. go showing how red and green are constraint and that the ground wire can change, thats what meters are for.
Very clear and helpful video, thank you
You are awesome! Thank you for your work!
Thank you for your help. Great video!
Outstanding video. Thank you.
This is well explained. thank you for sharing!.
Thank you so much this helped me tons keep it up man
SIR U ARE AN EXCELLENT TUTOR AND ELEVATOR TKS IMMENSELY REMAIN BLESSED & BLISSFULL
Sensacional vídeos, muito bem explicado 👏👏👏
wow very relaxing video. esp when you say "when you turn the key on" at 5:28. very relaxing voice
Very helpful! Thank you
Hey That's Great & WE Really Appreciate 👌
Thank you dude i needed to see this
Thank you so much to explain deeply
That's just the video I was looking for. Doesn't help me all the way through, because I need to connect a broken 7 wire throttle: pedal assist and throttle and voltage display, with 7 different colours. but I learned a lot. thank You

Thanks so much for posting this video. This really help me understand basic pri ciple of keyed throttle. But one thing I'm curious about this thing is, if the blue wire on keyed throttle is operated by switch wire which is positive, can the blue wire also be connected to main power wire with the yellow one at the same time?
Thank you I really learn something wit this video
thank you ,i like it really clear.
clear explanation.. thank you
Thank you dude for the information
I bought a couple key throttles, but in 3 years of hit and miss, not working, finding nothing but " your controller isn't compatible" answers. You explained it easy. The Xtra red and red are the key switch, ty,ty,ty and my controllers are reverse blue green for some reason but hot is hot and ground is ground.
Cant wait for next video
Best video out there
Hi and thank you for your great tutorial. I followed it completely to replace my former thumb throttle. I tried the new sensor on an external source first and it showed the expected 5V connecting the positive and the ground cable and low Voltage when connecting the Data cable with ground which would increase when I twisted the accelarator. Connecting the throttle to the controler and motor I quickly found that I had to switch the yellow and white cable in order to not have the display consistently on and the keys without function. With the cables switched, power supply seemed to be working as intended. However, while the horn and lights worked well, the accelerator did not work at all. When measuring with Voltmeter, the data cable of the throttle showed negative Volt value which would not change when I twisted the throttle. I can not explain to myself why that happened. I tried few other cable combinations but to have the key function working I could not find a way to make the sensor/accelerator work. Do you have any idea about what went wrong and how I can fix that? I would highly appreciate some help. Best wishes Fran
Very relaxing thank you
Very clear and thorough, thank you!

Only video l ve seen that explains it for the hard of learning. Still don't understand it all but pretty good
Love the vid it helped me do my scooter So thank u Can I asks something The 3 speed on the controller If I do not use it do I still need to put a wire from the black to blue to get top speed . Or just not using it meens that it’s set at top speed anyway
Thanks helped alot.
Foarte util si interesant , multumesc ...
Great video
How do you do this with the windgoo e bike 36v 350w motor ? Much needed and very useful liked !
I have a key switch/volt meter (no throttle) with 3 wires (green, red and black). My controller has the single wire you describe that should go to my switch. Please advise how to connect the 3 wires from switch (green-red-black). Love your channel!

Great job on the video would you be able explain the controller for kugoo s1 plus electric scooter
When the keyed throttle is locked can I still use Power Assist on the ebike? Great video.
I want to change the Throttle to a key one. What happens to the on off switch, Do I uninstall it? You are amazing! I'm making some minor modifications to my Windgoo. It's only 36 v 😪 but it's still fun. Subbed 🤘🏼
Nice explane , i hev another 1 whit the 3 collors + white and bleu
Thank you for this video maybe you can show how to connect a throttle that has three speed switch and maybe you or somebody can make a video on how to connect up a pas pedal assist system as nobody has done a good job with that either
Can i use the Swagtron 5 original remote control with an aftermarket switch and the original throttle work? Please let me know 🙏
Love Ya Man!
Great tutorial. Question…my throttle has 8 wires. Two - on/off switch Three - throttle main wires Three - hall sensor Throttle ground wire is a shared wire that also leads directly to vol/battery display, so four wires- three throttle wires + one black wire from hall sensor - lead to vol/battery display. I connected three main throttle wires from throttle to throttle connection on controller. connected yellow key wire to positive on battery and the other key wire (brown) I connected it with positive from throttle. I then connected those two wires to positive for throttle from controller. With this connection, I get a display of battery + voltage on throttle screen, showing controller is on (has power) and voltage level. That leaves two wires not connected - white signal wire and red positive wire from hall sensor on throttle. How/where do I connect these so that when I turn throttle I can get a 0.8 - 5.0vdc reading on multimeter, indicating throttle and throttle hall sensor are working properly. Any help I’d appreciate. Great video. /Bklyn👑
Is it possible to connect the blue and yellow wire on the throttle to bypass the need for the key switch and just use it as a throttle?
hello. great tutorial. Question: at 5:16 for the yellow (+) and the blue (negative) woyld i connect these two wirez to the power lock on the controller, red (+) and black (-)? /bklyn👑
I believe I’m using the same voltage speed control that you’re using the same speed controller at what point do you put a fuse or a breaker? Thank you for your time.
can u help me i have an m365 pro 2 and wish to attach just a voltmeter. when i connected them to the battery wire i got a err 21. if i attach the black from my voltmter to the ground of the panel and the red of the voltmeter to the battery's positive line; do you think that would work?
Hoe much current does the switch wire have from the controller to the throtle? 5 volt or the voltage of the battery , in my case 24 volt?
Thank you sir...
Good tutorial. However I've found that some controllers such as the Violamart kit controllers with 5 conductors don't provide 5V to the throttle signal, but the throttle converts the battery voltage to 5v signal voltage.
hi thankyou for this excellent video. i have a question( to anyone )regarding my throttle and controller... the power lock connector on the controller has a red and pink wire.the two wires from the throttle are yellow and white .does the red connect to the white and pink to the yellow???? thankyou.
Thank you
Thank you for this! Quick q- when I hook up the key switch throttle to a 3 speed controller, there are no other wires besides the ones for the lock. Does the throttle default to the top speed on the controller? Or is it best to use a 3 speed throttle then a separate key switch for the lock?

WOW, VUAECO , Thank you so much for sharing all your videos I enjoy them all , they are the best online !!! I am installing a new univer,sal throttle with key on a recently purchased used Dyu D1(Gyroor C6) 36 volt 350 watt . This is a learning project. It did not run when I bought it , seller said needed a battery. I have a battery that i can use that is 36 volts. How would I go about attaching the Throttle YELLOW wire to the THICK RED CONTROLLER wire as mine has a yellow XT60? Any help is so appreciated Thank You:)😊

Made my day, you took all the guess work out my project, however if I wanted to add a brake light how would I go about it, the brake light terminal puts out full 40+ volts when I hit the brake lever, what type of light could handle this?
@paulreeder5241

Look on Amazon. They have many light sets that can handle 12v up to 80v.

I went on Amazon and bought a rechargeable taillight with a built-in accelerometer that senses braking. That's the best I could do for my scooter. The scooter's display shows something is activated when I squeeze the brake lever but the rear lights don't get brighter or flash. How stupid is that? No way I'm going to mess with the wiring with no wiring diagrams and make things worse. The rechargeable taillight/brakelight works just fine.
Does the red to the throttle always have 5VDC and the keyswitch sends it out to turn on the controller?
My brushless controller has 2 wires for the ignition lock one red and one orange. I'm assuming the yellow goes to red and blue goes to orange?
I don't have switch cable on my controller and I have the exact model of the key throttle that you have shown. How do I do the connection?
Good tiching karte hai 👌👍👌👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍

I have 3 pin throttle i ordered a throttle it has a 3 pin with 2 extra wires blue and yellow do i connect each one to positive wire and controller positive wire?
I need your help, I have a 6pin twist throttle with ON OFF. I followed your video and I know Red/Black/Green is throttle, Blue & White is switch, but Yellow (battery indicator on throttle)? My controller has 6 wires (red/black/green/yellow/brown/pink). The yellow from the controller provides the voltage of the battery. I've been trying all sorts of combinations, but I couldn't get it to match correctly, to function. Thanks
Hey brother i really need youre help , my key switch is similar bit it has green red black wires , how can I test continuity on that type of swith with Red Black Green wires its for FLJ scooter
I just want to be able to turn on and off the volt meter not the scooter, can I use just the yellow wire and not the blue like you wired up the one with out the key?
Is there a way to change the voltage with the controller if it’s rated 36v48v

My e scooter throttle circuit wire snapped but I was wondering is it possible to just reconnect the cables together to save time on buying a new throttle because I need a specific throttle and my e scooter brand isn’t made anymore or try to find a compatible universal throttle
Thanks
