Red, black and yellow looks like a throttle connector. That's the old standard connector. When you buy your throttle, it might have the newer small black connector, in which case cut the connectors off and join the wires. make sure that yo connect red to red, black to black and yellow to whatever. Any throttle will work, but the small plain thumb throttles are normally easiest to fit.
Try and get a Wuxing 108x if you go for a thumb throttle, they are so much smoother and water resistant.
No worries.. Keep the post updated when you do order one.
I'm looking to buy a bike but trying to find one where I can install a thumb throttle..
A throttle will work 100% i have the same controller. Viking eco steppers also have a throttle connector.
That's settled it for me, gonna pop down halfords tomorrow and have a look at the bike
Just an (extremely belated) update on this, in case anyone is interested. I ordered a throttle new from Ebay, there's loads of different ones listed but to be honest they all look very similar.
It only cost me about £3 and took a few weeks to arrive from China.
Fitting it was very easy, it just clipped into what was intuitively the right socket.
I was pleased to see that the bike already has a wire leading from the front brake leading to the controller, which is responsible for cutting out the motor when the brake is applied when the throttle is open.
The only thing that could be considered a problem is that the Coyote Connect doesn't have space for the throttle on the handlebars as it comes - you will have to get your Allan keys out and move things around (it wasn't a problem for me, because I am now running the bike as a single speed, so I have put the throttle where the old Revoshift gear selector was).
I hope this will be helpful to anyone

Are you sure you have a connector for the throttle? Where is it? What does it look like?
Literally no idea but that bike has a similar remote control thing as mine
where would it be what can I take photos of for you to see weather it would work or not

I'm pretty sure that yours doesn't have a connector because you have a different type of controller with sealed wiring.
