July 20, 20178 yr Hi would anyone be able to help me as I have brought a powabyke shopper, which had a broken throttle. Put a new one on but still can't get it to work also have renewed the battery pack, is there anything else I can do or try thanks
July 20, 20178 yr Double check the wiring is correct, sometimes you can't just rely on the fact that the connector is the same as the wires may be in the wrong position.

July 20, 20178 yr You can't use a standard throttle on a Powabyke because they work on reverse voltage. 1.2v for full throttle and 3.8v for zero throttle instead of 1.2v for zero throttle. Also, IIRC, you have to pedal before the throttle will work. There's a 2-position switch. In one position, the throttle works after you've pedalled once. In the other position, you need to pedal all the time for it to work. If you pedal along, open up the throttle fully, then when you let go, you'll get full power, so be careful because the throttle will work in reverse. Controllers don't normally allow power until they've seen a zero throttle condition. That's a safety feature and why you have to open the throttle fully before it works
