    Add throttle to Kogan/Fortis ebike

    Hi HD, Sorry for the late follow-up. I was waiting for my throttle to turn up so I could attempt the installation. Whilst I have the same display unit, my controller BN1054-101-36 is an older version of yours and has a dedicated throttle lead/socket. The installation was easy, I just plugged...

    Hi HD, Have you managed to connect your throttle? I have the same bike and am interested in doing the same. -Ash

    Hi Luca, Did you ever get your throttle working on your Fortis?

    Bypass the need for a key to always be inserted to power the bike.....

    Some good advice, thanks. I've ordered a 15A (I hope that's enough 36v - 250W motor?) flush mount button which I will install into the case to still allow the power to be cut. Essentially swapping the wires from the keyed lock to the button.

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions/comments. No one seems to be suggesting what I'm proposing is overtly foolish, which is good!

    Yeah, I have two and had thought of that. Certainly a very simple solution. Of course, whilst unlikely, it would be possible for someone with a pair of pliers to get some purchase on the key blade and potentially remove the battery when locked in public. Just a cheap generic foldable bike...

    When in the lock position I can remove the key. This is the way I'd like it to always be when riding. By default of course there is no power in the lock position. Of course it's not the end of the world having a key, but it is a fiddly extra step every time I start and leave the bike!

    There is an on/off button on the controller, but to leave it on requires the key to be in the lock. I'd like to just lock the bike battery and control it from the controller. Having a key sticking out the side of the bike isn't a good look other!

    It has no physical switch except for the button on the display/controller, so yeah I guess there will be some nominal battery draw. Rather than just bridging the wires, I was also thinking of using one of these switches instead.

    Bypass the need for a key to always be inserted to power the bike.....

    Hi all, I have a compact foldable bike with the standard aluminium box design battery (below). As with most of these generic battery enclosures, they require you to have the key to power the bike on. What would be the best solution to overriding this? (It drives me nuts having to...
