Cables / Controls Cont
The throttle, or speed, is actuated by the right hand
lever on the handlebars, and allows power to flow
from the batteries to the electric motor. Some models
have a throttle that is variable speed control as
depicted in fig. 29, while some simply are on/off as
shown in fig. 30.
Figure 29 Figure 30
To test the throttle lever function, first remove the
deck from the frame. Next, identify the wire from the
lever to the circuit board. Remove the plug from the
board, and attach the test switch (part #31644), to
the plug receptacle intended for the throttle wire.
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before
attaching to the circuit board.
Note: On newer models, using the sealed case type
of controller board, it is not possible to test the
throttle in this manner. The only way to troubleshoot
the throttle function on these models is with a new
throttle lever/wire assembly.
Figure 31
With the rear wheel elevated and safely clear of
anything, turn the switch to the on position. If power
is transmitted to the rear wheel, then the problem is
NOT with the circuit board function, and the throttle
lever / wire assembly will need to be replaced.
