Howdy all.
I picked up a cheap 350W/36V chinese scooter with a bad controller. Since it didn't work and was kind of smashed up, I took it apart with the intent of using it for a bike. The batteries are good and the motor is good, I can hook them up directly and the motor runs full speed. I would like to have an on off switch and a throttle to control the speed.
So here are my questions...
1. Do I need a controller or can I wire a throttle and on/off switch between the batteries and the switch/throttle?
2. If I could wire the switch and throttle directly could someone show me a diagram how to do it? ( I was going to use the twist throttle and key switch off the scooter)
3. If I need to buy a controller, can someone suggest one that would give me the abililty to turn everything on and off and control the speed of the motor?
Thanks for any help/advice.
