The previous owner smashed it whilst attempting to "fix" it.
I have a modern donor controller if I could find an adaptor that goes from a 9pin connector to the old connector on the front wheel I reckon that would fix it as the front wheel motor still works, but damned if I can find one

A modern one is for three phase and hall effect motors (brushless motor) , your motor is a simple two phase so is a brushed motor. The two aren't compatible.
One will need a different controller , one for brushed motors.

A brushed speed controller with PAS is very difficult to come by today.

Non of these have PAS.

Thanks for replying It's an old trike and doesn't have PAS but at least now I know what I need to google

If your motor only has two wires, you have a brushed motor, so you need a controller for brushed motors. You need one that gives around 20 amps. You can get them from Ebay or Amazon, where there are normally loads of them.
