    Use a voltmeter and measure across the red and black wire while unit on and you should have throttle supply voltage of 5vdc. Slide your probe ends in where the wires go into the connector. Leave the black probe on black wire and move red probe to green wire and by varying the throttle the voltage should change from .2- 4.9vdc approx.

    brakes on. It functions like a 'kill switch' should anything go wrong. You should also test the key switch in the same way. You can test the motor by jumping from the batteries to the motor, but be aware that it will make a large spark, or you can test the voltage at the motor connector while turning the rear wheel backwards.
  • Page 37: No Power

    watch actual voltage while riding and mounting the voltmeter is a spot and secure it so it doesn't move but be able to watch it while on test runs. I have provided a drawing of this called voltmeter connection.jpg above. First pull up battery pack and pull the main power cord out of socket on battery pack to kill all power.

    Second possibility is the controller box has failed. Since the controller is the heart of the system it can fail in many ways to prevent current from being supplied to the motor. Other less likely suspects can be: A battery that is completely open, supplying no current and possible even testing as having no voltage.
  • Page 39 from an arc. Batteries produce current and voltage that can burn you when a shorted circuit occurs. Be absolutely sure you know what you are doing before trying any tests to eliminate a component from consideration of being defective!!! You can take the battery to a shop capable of testing the battery under a loaded condition.
