Hi all, trying to help a friend install a throttle to his Tesco city hopper as he has mobility problems and can't always peddle.
This bike has a pedelec system which works fine, but has no led/lcd control, it seems to be permanently on a mid range level of assist. The thumb throttle arrived today and was fitted into the only available 3 wire connector (yellow/black/red) - throttle is not working. I'm getting close to 5v on the red wire and about 4v on the signal wire when throttle is activated, so I'm assuming that everything is working as it should.
I'm wondering whether it has something to do with the lack of an lcd/led.
My cyclotricity kit on throttle only needs either an lcd or a plug which connects the wires that would normally go to the led. Could this be the same, would I need to short the connections on the plug which would normally power the led?
Or is there there some other reason which I'm not aware of ?.
Pete.
