I bought a Mango Superbird from BikesDirect two years ago and it came without a throttle. I would like to add one but cant find a wiring diagram for the controller. does anyone have any clues for this controller? LSU-08AP23-01STSP-A0/A1. I emailed Bikes Direct, but haven't heard back yet. I have found a mention of it on a german forum, but not enough details. Thanks

If harrys or TJ hasn't replied, nobody has data on this one of thousands of brands and models of controller.
If your controller has a 3 input connector, of which the outer two pins are 5 v, you might be able to plug a throttle into it. The speed signal input voltage on the dataplate offers some hope that is true. In that case the throttle you buy has to match that connector.
If not then a picture of the connector your controller uses to connect to the motor, display, and battery may help one of the above to identify a suitable replacement controller.
These connectors are not sold individually in the US. If you get on alibaba they will be glad to sell you 100000 of some connector, but it is too much trouble for them to provide a dimensional diagram to prove their product matches your needs.
I've found not even shimano, sram, & sun provide dimensional diagrams of, for example, $20-80 sprocket clusters or $20-30 derailleur takeups. I bought and threw away 4 sprocket clusters in 2019 due to them not fitting. One more reason I seriously detest buying anything from the orient. No option on bike motors, mahle sells their swiss model only by the containerload.

Thanks for the interest. The smallest 3-wire cable goes directly to the PAS, no connector I can see. The middle cable goes to a 1to3 splitter under the handlebars. Two brake lines and a 3 setting assist control that shows battery level and has an on/off button. I noticed the female plug has 6conductors and the male plug only has 5. There appears to be a white wire that is cut off short at the controller end.
I don't have a picture of the motor connector but it is a Bafanghttps://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/my-new-mango-super-bird.27880/
Thee are 6 wires going to the controller.
I was hoping to run a new cable to the controller and connect the throttle to it, but I don't know which spots on the controller to hook it up to.
Here are pictures of the updated bike that came out a year later with a throttle and a Bafang control keypad. My control pad has no brand name or markings of any kind.

My new Mango Super Bird.
Hello from Portland Oregon. I joined a while back to get more aquainted with ebikes. I bought my bike last week and have already commuted twice on it. Loving it so far. It is a Mango Super Bird. I like the upright riding position. Also, there is no drag when I ride with the motor off. It...

Those pictures don't match any throttle I've bought. Those have square pins on approximately .1" centers. 3 in a row, with a latch.
The PAS pickup is not a throttle input. The up-down level switch is not a throttle input. The brake switch inputs are not throttle inputs.
Good luck on getting a datasheet on those 80 pin IC's that run the controller. If one was available, it would be in a foreign language, with non-alphabet characters. TI & ON Semi publish their IC data so the orient can copy it. The reverse is not true.
