The throttle assembly features a 6-wire configuration. Connect these wires to your e-bike's controller according to the following color code. Use the provided wiring terminals for secure connections.
- Red Wire: +5V (Power supply for throttle)
- Black Wire: Negative (Ground)
- White Wire: Signal Output (Throttle signal)
- Green Wire: Positive (Battery voltage input for indicator)
- Yellow Wire: Switch (On/Off function, if applicable)
- Brown Wire: Switch (On/Off function, if applicable)
Ensure that the wiring connections are correct and insulated to prevent any electrical issues. Incorrect wiring can damage the throttle or the e-bike's controller.
Operating Instructions
1. Speed Control
Once installed and connected, the thumb throttle provides sensitive and even speed control. Press the thumb lever forward to increase speed. Release the lever to return to a neutral position and reduce speed.
2. Battery Capacity Display
The throttle assembly includes an integrated battery capacity display with three LED indicators: FULL, HALF, and EMPTY. These indicators provide a visual representation of your e-bike's battery charge level.
- FULL: Indicates a high battery charge.
- HALF: Indicates a medium battery charge.
- EMPTY: Indicates a low battery charge, requiring a recharge.
Maintenance
- Keep the throttle assembly clean and free from dirt and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Regularly check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure the thumb lever moves freely and returns to its neutral position without sticking.
- Avoid exposing the throttle to extreme weather conditions or prolonged direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
1. Throttle Not Responding
- Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly matched according to the wiring diagram.
- Verify that the e-bike's battery is charged and properly connected.
- Ensure the e-bike's power is on.
- Inspect the throttle cable for any kinks or damage.
2. Incorrect Battery Indicator Reading
- Confirm that the throttle's voltage (36V) matches your e-bike's battery voltage. Mismatched voltages can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Check the green wire connection, which supplies power to the indicator.
3. Sticking Thumb Lever
- Clean any dirt or debris around the pivot point of the thumb lever.
- Ensure the throttle is not overtightened on the handlebar, which could impede lever movement.
