Hi yep looks same

Thankyou would this entail replacing the display unit Which also doubles as the switch for the lights and brake lights which i would prefer to retain but not a big problem , just had a further email from jorvik saying basically that my front hub is suprise suprise a 250 wat so would need to be 500 wat to upgrade with a kit , Yep its 250 36 v most of controllers on net are 500 wat which i doubt would make a difference to the motor but i,l take advice on that . Thanks again for your input , been very helpful this forum

Hi i was bit bemused that cutting the white wire had no discernable effect throttle just did 4 miles per hour . However i noticed on your pics of suggested controller and wire code that a white wire is also a speed signal , so possible that i did not try ped assist while the white was disconnected so probably is the signal wire from the ped sensor to the controller . Thought i,d better mention that for the benefit of future queries on the forum, Just to update i emailed jorvik with my medical details and asked if they could supply / sell me a suitable controller to replace the original went into the full detail of why i needed throttle control, Had a reply within an hour telling me they do not stock or sell spare parts for trikes so they couldn't help, Now forgive me for being pedantic but the warranty period on most of their trikes , is 24 month . So if some major component goes toes up they cant or won't sell a replacement , in my case i bought mine used but 3 month old private so obviously The warranty is void anyway which i accept is the case , however i did comment in reply that given that they dont sell spares or stock spares buying a trike from them would be a very expensive product risk if it failed after 2 years and the lack of replacement spares rendered it useless , I was horrified to think that some people pay a minimum of £2,700 up to near on £4,000 for such an expensive trike that could be essentially useless if any component failed after the 2 year warranty expired due to no spares available. One wonders how spares materialise during the warranty period . Sorry drifting off the original subject , Taking your suggestion i whipped the controller off the trike and took a series of pics of all the pin plugs / connectors so i,v got an idea of whats needed for a replacement controller see pics also pics of the pin configuration for each connection, yellow 3 pin defo ped sensor blue i,l guess is the light and brake line ? Two bigger connections obviously are motor and display respectively, Looked at a few similar controllers and they have a red plug as opposed to a blue not sure if that red is same as blue light line on this controller . I,l put pics up anyway , Few posts on other sites suggest mounting the ped gear on the front or rear wheel , problem with that is no variable control over speed , except for brake s, but crap if your flying round sharp turns. Thanks again for your input

Hi popped the controller off appears to be a sealed unit however there are three fine wires visible see pic A black a yellow and an off white , Enough room on the white but no conecter so i clipped it , (enough to resolder as a precaution) Connected battery no change throttle still restricted to 4 mph, But it was worth a try given that by coincidence the three wires you mentioned were present. And accessable.so its obviously a later model controller that probably cant be altered. Also by coincidence the pedlec sensor and thum throttle have the same 3 pin connectors Popped the thumb throttle off the bars connected it to the pedlec but obviously it works on a different signal protocol from the linear throttle . Just have to see if i can source a European controller For it ,

I,l check that out i do know the controller is located on the seat post directly below the battery so fingers crossed your suggestion may help solve my problem, Thankyou

Hi i,m a cancer patient with heart problem and diabetes just bought a jorvick jet 24 . Problem is with my health limitations i need to upgrade it from ped assist to 15 mph throttle control . The plug and play controller is situated at the base of the battery mount. Is there a straight forward plug on replacement controller available that will solve the problem , I dont want to butcher the harness if that is avoidable, Any suggestions would be appreciated on a cost effective solution , I,v tried emailing customer services at jorvick but it just comes up with a recapcha fault . I know they do a 500 watt off road motor and controller upgrade which gives throttle control so wonder if they could supply a controller only to suit.i,m assuming my front hub is a bafang 250 . I dont suppose there is any means to do any internal shunt in the controller as it looks to be a sealed unit. Any ideas or suggestions would make my life easier ,and yes i,m aware of the laws on throttle bikes, regards john
