Hi all anyone know my local dealer for Urban mover I live in Gloucester GL2
I'm after a throttle kit for a UM36X
Thanks

All throttles work the same. You can use any one you want. The only difference is the connectors, which you can cut off and replace (or eliminate). Which connector do you have on your controller? If you don't have one, you'll need a new conroller too.
Thanks for your reply, I'm after the full kit, my 36X is using the pedal sensors at the mo so I'm looking to do the conversion the throttle

What full kit? What's in it?
You should open the compartment under the battery and pull out tge controller. Photograph all the connectors, especially any not connected ones. Then we can tell you what you need.

You can't guarantee anything until you look it there because our Chinese friends keep changing things, but there should be a spare black three-way connector for the throttle. You buy a throttle from anywhere and plug it in. Simples!
In practice, you might have trouble threading the wire through, so it might be easier to cut the connectors off, thread it through, then join the wires directly by soldering or twisting them together (if you can't solder), then insulate with some tape or heat-shrink, or you can buy another connector and crimp the pins on after threading through. All throttles are compatible.

Thanks, heres the pics, no probs with soldering or electronics (trained) what do you think ?

There it is, but we have to identify the signal wire. It's either yellow or green - probably green. Use a meter to check voltage between black and each when the controller is switched on. One of them will have battery voltage, so be careful not to short it to an adjacent pin with your probe. Stick your probes up the back of the connector.
The two single white wires are the speed restriction. Connect for restricted. The yellow and white ones must be for the brakes, but they're not connected! They could be for lights, so check them with a voltmeter too. 5v is for brakes, battery voltage is for lights. Normally, lights would have a black ground though.

Do i need it under load to report my findings on the voltage? Just so you know I have no lighting or brakes they are all external / manual. Or are you saying they are optional features? FYI my battery is the Panasonic 36V so can I expect to see that anywhere? Maybe best if I just report all voltages from each pin ;-) thanks for your help on this

Right! stay with me, The R/blk to Y/blk 2 pin is showing 40V the 4 pin R/Y/G/Blk is showing R5v -Y 40v - G0v -Blk 0v. the 2 pin yellow / whites are showing Y0v -W5V and the single white is at 0V Thats under no load

That's what I thought. It's all pretty standard. You can get any throttle with or without battery indicator lights. The yellow wire in the four pin connector is for the indicator LEDs, the green is the signal wire, and red and black are the 5v supply voltage.
Throttles have three wires (no LEDs), black, red and signal. You connect colour to colour. If the throttles have LEDs, they have four wires. Obviously the extra one is for the LEDs. but it can be green, which is confusing. When you get your new throttle, let us know what wires it has, and we can guide you. The only thing you can do wrong is let that yellow wire touch any of the other three, which will kill something. If you join it to any wire other than the throttles LED wire, it'll kill the throttle.
Some throttles have a switch, so there'll be two extra wires totally independent functionwise.
The yellow and white wires are for the brakes, which are not fitted, and the other wires will be for lights.

Brilliant thanks, any suggestions on the best throttle? (ebay?) and can I keep the pedal sensors at the same time or is it one or the other?

The throttle should be able to work independently. Normally, it takes precedence, so if you have maximum PAS, then open the throttle a bit, it cuts down the power, or, if you have level one and open the throttle fully, you get maximum power.
Don't get a full width throttle. I prefer a thumb type. The plain ones take up the least room, so are easiest to fit. The plain half throttles are also easy to fit because you can put the wire at any angle. If showed a good photo of your handlebars, I could advise better.

FWIW I have four bikes, with right hand full, half and thumb throttles, and a left hand half throttle. I prefer the thumb throttle.

With a plain (no switch) half-throttle, you won't have to move anything. If you go for a plain thumb-throttle, you could cut a small amount off your grip, then move the gear-changer inboard a bit to squeeze it between the brake and the changer.
