    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Just wanted to complete the thread here. The new throttle arrived from Ecotric, plugged it directly into the controller in place of the original and sure enough, bike started working as it should. Spend some time getting the new one onto the bike and routing the cable as best I could. The...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Ecotric says they'll send a new throttle, but they're currently out of stock and won't have anything for a few weeks. New info I got last night was the throttle had been loose on the handlebars and he tightened it up. I'm betting maybe too much and it cracked something inside...maybe, maybe...

    Ah, gotcha. Yeah, the throttle side pigtail is sealed in silicone and those are the female ends or the connector, pins are all even in length. The female side is on the controller which is brand new, sockets look ok to me and honestly if I were a betting man I wouldn't put a dime on that being...

    Yeah, factory reset didn't do the trick. harryS, so I get that the throttle works on a voltage output over the signal wire, what I'm asking though is how can I test for that voltage? When the plug is connected there are no exposed contacts to touch, but when its disconnected to get at the...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    I tried the trottle while in various 1-5 modes and pedaling, so bike was moving on electric at the time. The throttle doesn't seem to do anything at any time or in any mode. The bike has the S900 display and I have a copy of an ecotric manual thanks to the above poster harrys, which contains a...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Got the throttle off the bike and figured out its te one with the white wire, but the wires have no exposed surfaces to test, so I cant do a continuity test to see if I've got a broken wire here. The throttle doesn't want to come apart, at least not without breaking it. Going to ask for a...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    So, I've got the controller out, looking for the throttle pigtail but naturally they're not labeled. I believe its a 3 wire plug though, right? So that narrows it to 2 connectors. One with red,black and white, the other with red, black and green. Neither gives me voltage though, but I'm not...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Yes sir, swapped the motor with a new one sent directly from Ecotric. Connectors are tight. So I went out and powered it on, lifted the back wheel and pressed the down button for a few seconds. Damn thing started going. Motor goes into "walk" mode at 4.5mph. While doing this I applied first...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Thanks for the reply. I have only the bike, battery, key and charger and the two motors. I'll have to look for the manual, but apart from 26" fat tire I've got no model info that I can find on the bike. Happy to take photos. Will start disassembling to look around. Just googled pas and...

    Ecotric Fat Tire 26" No Motor Drive

    Hello all, new guy here. Trying to help my cousin with a problem. He purchased a 26" Fat Tire a number of months ago, its still under warranty but there are no service centers or locations anywhere near up that will touch most ebikes, let alone do warranty work on a specific brand, so we're...
