4.1 Wiring Diagram Overview
The controller features various ports for connecting accessories. Refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your kit (or the panel user manual) for detailed connection instructions. Below is a general guide:
- Motor Connection: Connect the motor phase wires (usually three thick wires) from the controller to your motor. If your motor has Hall sensors, connect the Hall sensor wires as well. The controller is compatible with motors both with and without Hall sensors.
- Battery Connection: Connect the main power wires (red for positive, black for negative) from the controller to your battery pack. Ensure correct polarity.
- S866 Panel Connection: Connect the S866 display panel to its designated port on the controller. This panel provides real-time data and allows for mode selection.
- Thumb Throttle Connection: Connect the thumb throttle to its corresponding port. This controls the motor speed.
- Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS) Connection: Install the assist sensor and magnet on your pedal crank. Connect the sensor wire to the PAS port on the controller. This enables pedal-assisted riding.
- Brake Lever Connection (Optional): If your brake levers have cut-off sensors, connect them to the brake signal ports on the controller. This will cut power to the motor when brakes are applied.
- Other Connections: Connect any other accessories such as headlights, taillights, or horn if supported by your controller and wiring harness.
Important: Always ensure the power is off before making any connections. Double-check all connections for secure fit and correct polarity to prevent damage to the components.

5. Operating Instructions
Once all components are securely connected and verified, you can begin operating your electric bike or scooter.
5.1 S866 Panel Operation
The S866 panel is your primary interface for controlling the system:
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the S866 panel to turn the system on or off.
- Display Information: The panel displays essential information such as current speed, battery level, assist level, and trip distance.
- Assist Level Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through different pedal assist levels. Higher levels provide more motor assistance.
- Mode Selection: The controller supports 3 modes. Refer to the S866 panel's specific user manual for details on how to switch between modes and adjust settings.
5.2 Riding Modes
The controller supports various riding modes to suit your preference:
- Pedal Assist Mode: The motor provides assistance based on your pedaling effort and the selected assist level.
- Throttle Mode: Use the thumb throttle to control the motor speed directly, without pedaling.
- Manual Mode: Ride without any motor assistance, similar to a traditional bicycle.

6. Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ZIZEV controller kit.
- Keep Clean: Regularly wipe down the controller and panel with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
- Avoid Water Immersion: While the panel is waterproof, avoid submerging the controller or exposing it to heavy, direct water spray.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the controller's grooved casing is not obstructed, allowing for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the kit in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ZIZEV controller kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System does not power on. | Battery low or disconnected; loose power connection; faulty panel. | Charge battery; check battery and controller power connections; ensure panel cable is securely connected. |
| Motor not responding to throttle/PAS. | Loose motor/throttle/PAS connection; faulty sensor; incorrect motor type setting. | Check all relevant cable connections; consult S866 panel manual for motor settings; test throttle/PAS if possible. |
| Intermittent power or erratic behavior. | Loose wiring connections; water ingress; overheating. | Inspect all connections for tightness; ensure controller is dry; allow controller to cool down if hot. |
| Display shows error code. | Specific system fault. | Refer to the S866 Panel User Manual for a list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. |
