    THROTTLE FOR VOILAMART CONTROLLER

    Can anyone head me in the right direction? I'm trying to find a throttle that came with the Voilamart front wheel kit. I destroyed the fitting and need another throttle. I tried hardwiring but that didn't work. Thanks

    I need help or suggestions, again.

    What should I look for on the parts where the breaks would be hooked to. They are simply there with nothing attached. Should there be something attached like a shorted wire? I don't think there was any kind of overheating as I had only gone about five feet. Everything was cold and had not been...

    I need help or suggestions, again.

    I don't use the pas. It was not overheated as I had just taken it out of the garage. I do not use the break switches on either handlebar. How do I reset the controller? and how do I reset the throttle? That may help me. Thanks....

    I need help or suggestions, again.

    I now have two bikes, as shown here. I was leaving my driveway going for a ride on my bike, which is about four years old. (I replaced the battery once.) Nothing unusual until I rolled over a pine cone after adding throttle and it seemed like it stalled because of the pine cone. I removed it and...

    BATTERY

    I just last month bought a new battery. The old one. when fully charged, while going uphill had such a bad voltage drop that it cut out. So what can be done to the old battery? Throw it away, open it up and take a look? Send it ff to be fixed. Try to fix it myself. I don't think I'm qualified to...

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    No. I just took it for a short run. Everything seems normal. If it does it again I'll buy a new one. The whole kit is now only about 165.00 Thanks for the help.

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    I checked for bad spots on the wires. Didn't see any. The controller is out in the open, mounted to my metal basked for a heat sink. The controller never got hot while all this was going on. I started up the driveway, slight incline and began riding. it began to make a noise, grrrrrrrr. I kept...

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    I don't have a display. The sad thing is I don't remember where I bought it. It was thru eBay, but over two years ago, almost over three. They stop showing purchases after two years, and I doubt they would do anything anyway. I'm hesitant to take it out until I find out what mad it do that. I...

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    OK, Here's what happened. I disconnected the front-wheel motor. Unplugged it from the controller. Un plugged the power from the battery. The binding of the front wheel WENT AWAY and the wheel turns free like before. Hooked up everything again and it's working perfectly. Big question. Will it do...

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    With no power to the motor. The battery turned off with the key. Throttle shows nothing. But the wheel is difficult to turn and as it is turned I can feel the drag in very small increments, not a steady constriction when I turn the wheel by hand. So what would make it bind like this and do...

    TROUBLE WITH THREE YEAR VOILAMART MOTOR.

    I need some help. I went riding this morning. My motor began to vibrate and make a growling sound. Then it quit. Advancing the throttle did nothing. Trying to turn the front wheel was difficult. It is 36 volt motor. The battery is brand new. The controller is new. Who can give advice about...

    CONTROLLER

    Good morning Thomas, Here's what's going on. I took the bike and my dog for a ride a few minutes ago. Before I went I checked the voltage, 45.5 volts. Went about a mile and a half, mostly flat. When I came to the slight hill leading to my driveway, (peddling my ass off) it quit at the top so I...

    CONTROLLER

    I have a couple of volt ohm meters. One very good one. Sorry to imply I don't. I'll check the voltage. Since I work on a strict budget I'll have to look for a battery around 200. to 250. The one I have if it's bad lasted almost four years. I'm tempted to buy another.

    CONTROLLER

    OK, I charged the battery. It has a power indicator on one end. Push a little button and it has four lights. Only three light up, even when fresh off the charger. Is this an indication the battery is bad or going bad?

    CONTROLLER

    T hanls, Since my motor is 36 volts, how do I get a stronger battery without damaging the motor? A 42 volt, or larger Ahrs, or what. I thought it had to be 36volts, 10mah. Help me out, Thnks, Charlie

    It's going on four years old.....and it still may be good. If, with a new battery it does the same thing on the slight hill. then it's something else,...like the motor.
