This looks similar to a Tao E1 500 ATV harness. I have a 3 speed selector issue where the speed selector changes the speed only for reverse. Forward is constant at a slow speed. Can you help me understand if something is wired backwards? I assume reverse typically doesn't change speed.
Sorry, i never worked on that model, and I can not give proper advice, not knowing wiring set up and color codes...But I'd I would be you, I would try to replace the controller. ( Make sure your battery is in working order and in good health. Otherwise, the controller will be giving all kinds of symptoms)
Hey sorry question- my “throttle” plug coming from controller to light up the little screen on the throttle lever only has one blue and red wire it is missing the black wire. So I only have one blue and red wire going to the grey and green wire coming from throttle handle. This is a brand new controller and on my old controller it is also only one blue and red cable…. So the throttle and key work but not the display on the throttle handle. Do you think it just needs a ground?
@KarpucMotoring Yes, just take Black ground wire from any spare " indicator " plug . Or plug in your spare " indicator " plug to the display plug and you will have it lighting up and battery level reading
Good description of all the accessories on the speed controller ☺ I have put a litium 36v battery onto the quad as it was alot lighter but i think it was to higher amps for the speed controller so now dosent work at all 😮 If i put a 1000w cotroller onto the 500w motor will it be ok ?
@simontritton4131 You can install smaller controller to a bigger motor, but not all the way around, as motor might get burned. Better if you install matching power motor and controller
Maybe you can help me out So I got everything to work on my daughter's quad But for some quad reason the bike stays running and the throttle doesn't work
@@You-can-fix-it sorry one more question: since the power supply and the module are wired through the tail light if it is broken do you think it could cause a fault in the power? I am trying to power mine up w new batteries and get power at throttle screen (lights up), alarm, and lots of voltage at indicator connection left over but lights, horn, motor are not responding. My tail light is broken I am wondering if that can be it.
Let me rephrase the question. I know the motor works because if I put 48v direct to it it spins. What is the best way to diagnose what’s wrong if the throttle js not getting signal/power from battery. I get 48v at indicator plug. Where else can I check for power to locate the cause. I am beginning to think controller. They also seemed to have installed a cigarette lighter.
Thank you for all your videos about electric bikes am being watching your videos to learn fix an atv I have for my kids.
@@AAAconstruction442 Thank you for watching. Stay safe!
Sei bravo

@@You-can-fix-it oh I can plug in my spare indicator plug? It won’t burn out the throttle display? I believe the indicator plugs are 36-40V right?
@@KarpucMotoring no
@@You-can-fix-it you were right! I plugged in spare indicator plug from controller and it works fine. THANK YOUYOU!!

If i put a 1000w cotroller onto the 500w motor will it be ok ?
Sorry my speed controller was 800w motor is 500w here is a picture of the battery I installed

Ok I see my battery is a 36v 8.8ah (316.8 wh)
So need a 1000w controller and a 800w motor maybe
@simontritton4131 with this battery Voltage and Amperage 800w is your best option
Thank you ! This video was extremely helpful!
Maybe you can help me out So I got everything to work on my daughter's quad But for some quad reason the bike stays running and the throttle doesn't work
@JohnWayne-g8h what exactly you mean stay running? Wheels spinning on their own without touching throttle handle?
Thanks
@@eliashubah5805 As long as it helps someone up there. Stay safe!
Amazing thank you
I am glad it helps some one up there !
Question: if you lose fob for alarm can you just disconnect it? Or will it lock out the motor?
@@KarpucMotoring it will work without remote, nothing to worry about, just start it with ignition key as usual
@@You-can-fix-it thank you

@@KarpucMotoring Disconnect both brake handles plugs and see if that will help to start
