Being new to ebikes and wanting to commute everyday (even when tired/on little sleep) I wanted a throttle. The Current seemed great for the PNW, except it didn't have one. But thanks to this post, I felt confident in pulling the trigger.
One of the cables I got had a gray (vice orange wire). Initially swapped the way Jerry had to, tested but no luck. Original cable still worked (didn't fry anything) so I went "color to color" and it worked!
That said, it appears there is an open throttle port on the motor? Don't see a cables for it either, so soldering will have to happen regardless (if the port works, looks like a cheaper way). But, for the option we've gone for here I recommend not cutting all 7 cables at the same place as by the time I electrical taped each and shrink tubed it, it was too girthy for the channel. Had to remove the waterproofing to get it to fit, but think it should be fine being internal.
I'm in the process of customizing the bike a bit further and plan on creating my own thread for it. Think lights and cameras!
