Hi all,

I have an Azor ebike that has a Bafang FM G311.250.V/D front wheel hub. It also has the basic display below.


I'm wondering how easy it would be to fit a throttle. I bought the throttle in the attached photo. I'm a novice so please forgive the nativity but I was hoping that I could just buy a Y splitter cable that could be connected to the existing display connection i.e so that thele display and throttle could both run off that - see attached photos. Unfortunately such a Y splitter does not seem to exist (it would need to have 2 green ends and one yellow). Any guidance much appreciated.

The controller has to have the firmware to allow a throttle and a suitable compatible 3 pin connector, I assume the throttle is a Higo if a Bafang one.

Thanks for the reply. The link to the throttle is below:


So basically the controller needs to have a throttle connection and also the firmware. It seems to be located under the bicycle rack at the back. Is it common for factory shipped bikes to have the required set-up do you know? As I mentioned,the bike was made by Azor (Dutch firm) so I could ask them. The alternative then I suppose would be to replace the connector which sounds like it's complicated

I doubt the controller then is configured for one as they are illegal in the EU and they are stricter then the UK at policing.

Thanks again, so i'd prob need to replace the controller then and to do that find someone with experience to do it. Any suggestions on what controller to get?
