Suggestions welcomeMy Easy Assist Factor stopped working on my ezee torq mark 2. 2009 I bought a new EAF from John at Cycleezee but it does not work it has been returned for testing to cycleeze John confirmed it was good but could not fathom the problem.Puzzle is my twist throttle works fine this model only has pedelecs mode.I have checked the wiring and even put a new battery meter kit on to no joy.My mk 2 is otherwise brilliant but I have the dreaded arthritis so it's painfully on my wrist working the throttle.A) any suggestions to fixB) suggestions for a different cruise control type gizmoKind regards Zebody

Saneagle's is pretty good too and requires no wiring, but you need one of those small thumb-throttles that you can get from various sources. Basically. it involes fitting a clamp to the handlebar next to the throttle. You screw a horizontal piece to the clamp and tighten the clamp just enogh that it has enough friction to resist the throttle spring. When you want to cruise, you just pull the horizontal piece round and it'll hold the throttle in any position. If you want temporarily more throttle, the throttle works normallly and will return to the cruise position. To finish cruise, you return the horizontal piece to its home position, and then the throttle works normally.
The third photo here explains it the best.

UPDATE Ezee torq 2 works fine now.
Ashamed to admit my Mrs fixed my new EAF she said are the wires mixed up! Red needed to be at the right according to my old EAF and the wires were sequenced the wrong way around.
It seems I look for complicated solutions Mrs looks for basic simple stuff.
No idea why Ezee changed the wires
Mrs will dine out on her deduction for quite a while I will wager but I am we'll happy back on the road.

Hi Steve,

Where would we be without women to guide us;)

Oriental production inconsistency with colour codes is very common.
