So here`s what happened - I phoned Davinci Mobility, spoke to a very helpful person who said that it was hardly ever the throttle at fault - he said that it is often the connectors where the motor plugs into the control box that causes problems with this machine and that they seem to melt. When...

Thank you d8veh! I hope so too!

I came across this forum by googling my problem and arrived at the thread you mentioned above so I have looked through that thread. So I think I will start by getting a new throttle and a multimeter and then talk to the people who took over the PDQ stuff on Monday and see if I can get any more...

I just checked the chafed wiring from the throttle - there is a small area where the wire appears to be bare but I cannot say for sure if this is severe enough to cause a short. It only seems to be on one wire. I think I might get a meter to check what you said. I realise it may take me a while...

Hi shemozzle999 - Blue,brown + earth is the power cable - to battery. Yes the sleeving is a bit damaged but I don`t think the wires are corrupted but I will check again. There was a speedometer/milometer attached once but I removed it years ago.

What about the watt rating on the motor. Is it important to match the watt rating of the controller to the motor? I have been unable to find out what mine is - I saw another thread here where someone had a powertrike with a 150W motor so mine might also be 150W. The controller in the link above...

I`ve got 36 volts and it is lead acid.

I don`t think so - what is that? Where might it be? There is a socket on the control box which just has a kind of plug in it with a rubber bit like a pipette but with nothing connected. If I get a new control box does the specified wattage have to match the motor? I cannot see what wattage my...

So could I get a new control box and throttle and fix it to my trike? Do you have any suggestions for make/model for this? I was thinking that this would be a solution as well.

I opened it here is a photo and it says powertrike controller PM009-1 on the board.

I can try. So you think the problem might be the controller and not the throttle itself?

Here are a couple of images of the hub and the controller box. It has two wires. I cannot see any descriptive info on the machine. I`ve just added a couple more images - the ones of the throttle unit are a bit blurred!

The fault has now evolved - With The Power Trike Xtra you: 1) turn the key 2) flashing control box lights 3) depress left brake lever while turning the throttle to max 4) lights remain all lit. Yesterday I managed to use it by using the left brake lever as a cut out as the throttle was on full...

Oh thanks - I will try them! Cheers Paul. I just called Team Hybrid and they said that the only option they offer for the PDQ Powertrike is a complete refit with their own system this is because the PDQ system is apparently one of a kind!! So this will cost around £1700 so I will now talk to...

Hi all, Have had this trike for about 8 years - has been very good. Throttle now doesn`t work - power on = full throttle with only the left brake lever to cut out the power - not good! Any info on what to do about this. I guess I need a part that will plug in to the existing control box. The...
