This is the kind of video e-bike people can really use. Thank you.

[@exgenica]

Word of caution on buying a replacement throttle. I just saw some throttles for sale online, claiming they were compatible with ebikes. But a short line in small font buried way down the page lists a spec that says the Hall sensor signal varies from 0.8V to 2.4V However, 2.4V is *not* a sufficiently high-end Hall sensor voltage for most ebikes. Also, most people probably would either not see the 0.8V-2.4V spec and/or many people would not even know what it means and would ignore it assuming it was normal. Unsurprisingly, there were many reviews from buyers that were disappointed the throttle didn't work after they installed it. From what I could tell the sellers didn't seem to care that this was a major issue and likely aren't going to change their web pages to make it more obvious or provide a warning about this lower than required Hall sensor voltage output for ebikes. With a simple change to the web page, the sellers could save a lot of customers the frustration and grief of spending time and money on trying to repair or build their ebikes using these ultimately unusable throttles.

[@Zomby_Woof]

It's not really the seller's fault. What you are describing is someone unfamiliar with how ebikes work, doing repairs on a commercially produced bike. Anyone who has built their own will either know what range is required by the controller, or will be programmable and the throttle will work fine. If you buy a conversion kit SAVE THE DOCS THAT COME WITH IT. It's often nearly impossible to get ALL of the original specs, as the seller is typically bundling compatible components from multiple vendors, and often doesn't keep track of spec changes from a previous run.

@@EVCustoms I have a great question for you, I am interested in a twist throttle that starts you off slow, because I notice that all the cheap $15 twist throttles that I a have used, knock you off the saddle as soon as you barley turn it to its minimal activation point, I am looking for a throttle that starts off very slow and gradually starts accelerating to full speed. Please refer me to one either through amazon link or a model and model number, I will subscribe to your channel upon you response. thanks

I am curious to know if taking out the hall sensor "chip" is really just that easy as in video? It seems like the two throttles I have tried with have NOT wanted to pop out of the slot / housing of hall sensor. are they ever glued in by manufacturer? Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you:)

[@venkataswamyg4151]

Thank you i leant one new work today

[@SnakePlizkin]

I tore off 3 of the 6 wires on my mothers bike when i tripped and i grabbed on to it... First i playned to resolder them but the housing can't be taken appart without breaking it. Have been looking around everywhere for a new throttle with 6 wires but i can't find one. The only thing that was printed on the throttle was "DE PU 25.9v". Only other thing i noticed about the throttle is, that it is progressive/stepless twist throttle. Some advice would be appreciated.

[@amobenpro]

Thanks alot, was so helpful

[@techtinkerin]

Very helpful ☺️❤️

[@williamvan909]

what size battery you use to check voltage can you use a just a 12v or will it fry the wires ???????

[@anio6865]

The connectors on my controller has 4 wires(grey white brown and black) into 1 jst-sm connector for both the brakes and the throttle. And the grey and white are supposedly for the brakes. How do I test the controller alone with a multimeter ? And what should the readings be ? Just need to know where to connect the throttle wires ?

[@marcus007d]

hey there i have a ebike that comes with a twist throttle i want a thumb throttle so brought one thats the same connect type etc for my bike plugged it in and screen comes up with error 4 |? i tryed 2 other thumb throttles which my mate had with same connector and error 4 again i cut 1 of the connectors off the thumb throttle and re wired it so its black to black as normal and the 2 remaining wires just switch round boom all works fine now no errors which is good so guessing the signal wires for my bike and thumb throttles are wired different but like i said all gd now its only a signal wire and positive should be all gd correct ? as its all working ? cheers

[@gym_buddies9504]

I hope you can make videos how to install lights direct to controller with explanations. for 36v,48 and 60v. because for all I know, most lights are 12v. some are autovolt. but since I want to change the controller and lcd, the lights has no indication what voltage it is. and the controller doesn't just accepts any voltage.i am afraid I might damage either the controller or light. what will I do? some says, buy converter or some says, just connect it to series,..but let's say I wanna preserve the stock lights yet I don't know what voltage are the frint and rear light.. what will I do?thanks

[@TheADD.]

Thanks

[@jacobclark89]

I've been experiencing extremely dangerous episodes of the motor not stopping as soon as I turn the throttle , related to high humidity conditions ! I think it's because the humidity increases conductivity of the hall sensors in the throttle . can you recommend a good throttle ? I think the manufacturers are going to have to make them water proof. I experienced the same issue with a different throttle , battery and controller. just using the bike after a rain storm is enough to cause the issue.☠️

[@Voltium-qy2ve]

Throttle of my vehicle works when I switch the vehicle on. Provided that I keep the throttle engaged. If I let it go, then i have to switch the vehicle off and on again. I have to do this continuously. One time it worked perfectly for a day or two, without any hiccups. Now it's acting up again. What do you think is the problem? And the best and cheapest possible solution?

Hi, awesome video thanks, I use an Hover 1 alpha E scooter so two days ago I was changing the accelerator of the scooter, and in the process of assembling it together i found out that the beeping device was lose but before I could touch it one part it's poles mistakenly touched the pole of the display panel which resulted in some weird noise and the break light blinking and unfortunately the Scooter went off and wouldn't come on again not even charge any longer , do you have any idea what could be the issue Thanks..

[@Zomby_Woof]

​@@isaacogedegbe5557It's usually going to be the controller. I've had a controller fry from a random short. Display is normally an optional component. There are usually 3 of the wires that connect to the display that are manipulated through the display to actuate thr desired assist level, but other than assist level the display isn't usually required to run the bike. The BMS can also cause failure to power up, but it can be temporarily bypassed for test purposes.

Hi... from wires always red and black wires is positive and negative, the signal can be meny different colours, so you know the third wire is signal. at sensor pins you can find them only from datasheet, most hall sensors have same pins..

Hi i am from PERU can you say me in what number you put the tester pleace i wanna know.

Hi, first of all, thank you for this very usefull video. I have a problem with my e-quad throttle reaction, I have 4 different throttle, one finger type and three twist type, I measured the output signal as you discribed and didn't see any major problem but the motor driver doesn't give any response during the first angles of the throttles, but after the first 4-8 degrees, the motor starts to spin with a higher speed than desired and it makes a bad feeling on driving characteristics of quad. Between the 4-8 degrees to max throttle, there isn't any problem. Because of this issue, I can't drive the quad at very slow speeds below 5kph. Do you have any suggestion to fix this issue? Thanks. I checked this issue with another motor driver as well, and the result was the same.

[@Zomby_Woof]

Was a component changed around the time this started, or has it always been this way? If it's always been this way or started.when a component was changed, its.more likely than not the order of the halls - try changing them by swapping any two. It could also be the phases not in correct order.
