April 7, 20179 yr Quick question - has anyone here ever installed a throttle on the Coyote Connect e-bike? I've done a search on the forum (and the internet at large!) and can't see anything, but apologies if there is already a thread. Thanks!
April 7, 20179 yr The controller sits in that little box at the front of the battery. You need to open it up and drag out the controller, then take a photo of all the connectors.
April 14, 20179 yr Author I'm hoping this is a generic sort of controller. There are three empty sockets - can I just buy a throttle and plug it in? Any help much appreciated
April 14, 20179 yr Pics are very poor and make viewing on the eyes uneasy.. The last one 4 pin is a data cable for programming forget that. If you only have those other two then you need a 3 wire/pin connector.
April 14, 20179 yr 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.
April 14, 20179 yr Try and get a Wuxing 108x if you go for a thumb throttle, they are so much smoother and water resistant.
April 21, 20179 yr Not ordered one yet mate. 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..
April 23, 20178 yr 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.
April 23, 20178 yr 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
July 3, 20178 yr Author 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
February 1, 20188 yr Hi, i would like some help fitting a throttle onto my bike it has the same kind of connector as the bike mentioned above i also got mine from halfords but mines a Carrera Vengeance E bike. i really know nothing about these e bikes and dont want to mess my bike up can either of you help me step by step fit a throttle onto mine ? http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/carrera-vengeance-e-mens-electric-mountain-bike-16-18-20-frames

Hi mate im also from liverpool and i assume you managed to fit the throttle onto your bike? and its very similar in terms of the computer thing do you think you could help me fit one onto mine its a Carrera Vengeance E also from halfords thanks

Where is it? What does it look like?
February 1, 20188 yr 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
February 1, 20188 yr I'm pretty sure that yours doesn't have a connector because you have a different type of controller with sealed wiring.
February 2, 20188 yr I'm pretty sure that yours doesn't have a connector because you have a different type of controller with sealed wiring. So do you think there is no way to add a throttle onto this bike
February 2, 20188 yr Myguess is no. Photos don't show what I need to be sure. If the main harness branches into 3, then it's no. If there's 4 branches, find the empty one.

If there's 4 branches, find the empty one. there is like a button thats kind of like a throttle because you press and hold it and the bike thrusts forward but it's very weak like walking speed maybe there is a way to increase the power output to the motor so it goes faster look I uploaded it

It absolutely leathers the battery and isn't much easier than just ghosting the pedals around. I did have great fun with the throttle at first (because I'm an overgrown child!, but hardly use it now.). The photos they need to see are of the guts of the controller etc:- the internal wires, connectors. If you aren't comfortable opening stuff up, they won't be able to help.
August 19, 20205 yr Hi. Can someone tell me how many magnets is on a pedal assist disc please. Have just bought coyote connect as a project and this part is missing.
