Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.
2. Safety Information
- Always disconnect power from your electric bike's battery before performing any installation or maintenance.
- Ensure the throttle's voltage (36V or 48V) matches your electric bike's system voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause damage to the throttle or the bike's electrical system.
- Handle all electrical components with care. Avoid pulling on wires directly.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Do not modify the throttle or its wiring. Unauthorized modifications can lead to malfunction and void any potential support.
- Keep the throttle clean and free from moisture.

5. Installation/Setup
- Prepare the Bike: Ensure your electric bike is turned off and the battery is disconnected or removed to prevent accidental power-on during installation.
- Remove Old Throttle (if applicable): Carefully remove any existing throttle and grip from the handlebars. Note the routing of the old wiring for easier installation of the new throttle.
- Install New Grips: Slide the new left-hand grip onto the left side of the handlebar and the throttle unit onto the right side. Ensure they are positioned comfortably and securely.
- Connect Wiring: Locate the corresponding wiring harness on your electric bike. Connect the 6-pin connector from the new throttle to the bike's harness. Ensure the connection is firm and the pins are correctly aligned. Refer to Figure 3.3 for a visual of the connector.
- Secure Wiring: Route the throttle wiring neatly along the handlebars and frame, securing it with zip ties or cable clips to prevent interference with moving parts or damage.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery and turn on your electric bike. Carefully test the throttle's operation in a safe, open area. Ensure smooth acceleration and proper response.
6. Operating Instructions
The DYU D3F KH-DX throttle operates like a standard twist-grip throttle on an electric bike:
- Power On: Turn on your electric bike's main power switch.
- Engage Throttle: Gently twist the throttle grip towards you to engage the motor and begin accelerating.
- Control Speed: The further you twist the throttle, the more power is delivered to the motor, increasing your speed.
- Disengage Throttle: Release the throttle grip to its original position to stop power delivery to the motor.
- Braking: Always use your bike's brakes to slow down or stop, even when the throttle is disengaged.
7. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the throttle and grips with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect Wiring: Periodically check the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure.
- Lubrication: The internal mechanism of the throttle is generally maintenance-free. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by a qualified technician.
- Storage: If storing your electric bike for an extended period, ensure the throttle is clean and dry.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Throttle not responding | 1. Power off/battery disconnected 2. Loose wiring connection 3. Incorrect voltage throttle 4. Damaged throttle unit | 1. Ensure bike is powered on and battery is connected. 2. Check all wiring connections, especially the 6-pin connector. 3. Verify throttle voltage matches bike's system voltage. 4. Contact support for replacement if unit is damaged. |
| Intermittent throttle operation | 1. Loose or corroded wiring 2. Moisture ingress | 1. Inspect wiring for damage or corrosion; secure connections. 2. Ensure throttle is dry. Avoid riding in heavy rain. |
| Throttle feels stiff or sticky | 1. Dirt or debris under grip 2. Handlebar surface friction | 1. Remove grip and clean handlebar surface and inside of grip. 2. Ensure grip is not too tight on the handlebar. |
9. User Tips
- Verify Compatibility: Before purchasing or installing, always double-check that the throttle's voltage (36V or 48V) and connector type are compatible with your specific electric bike model (DYU, JETSON Bolt Pro, Atlas). If unsure, contact the seller for confirmation to avoid compatibility issues.
- Gentle Operation: Operate the throttle smoothly. Sudden, aggressive twisting can put unnecessary strain on the motor and controller.
- Regular Checks: Make it a habit to quickly check the throttle's free movement and response before each ride.
