what are all the other things you have to do before you can make it operational besides changing the controller on this model?

i am not aware of what soldering you are talking about, i dont see anywhere in the video, just him splicing wires together, also i am wondering if you still need to "flash" the board or do any software related things to make it fully functional.jaysonjehsen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 12:10 am@SiameseMoms, if you follow Samzone's instructions, you'll be pretty set. Other things you'll need to have in general to do this are:Once you get a donor scooter, unscrew the torx screws underneath the top sticker/decal in the console between the handlebars. locate and unscrew the GPS/cellular dashboard. remove/destroy the SIM card in the board. Unplug the wire harness connection between that board and the cable that runs down through a black epoxy'd hole to the neck tube of the scooter. It should be like 10-12 wires in a bundle. Unplug the Li-Po battery on the board. you can toss that board away and recycle the Li-Po battery (it's pretty big capacity-- use it in a later project!). Then, unplug the cables with special orange/blue male/female connections and save those for soldering later-- as shown in samzone's video. That's all you'll need to prep the top of the scooter. Save all the screws and try to remember where they all came from so you can close everything back together at the end.

- Soldering tools-- soldering iron, solder, wire strippers (or a sharp knife and good hands), you could get away with wire nuts/lever nuts for electrical connections that don't run a lot of current thru them (sensor wires, but DEFINITELY solder the two battery and three motor wires)
For the bottom of the scooter, there are around 10 torx security screws on the bottom lip that runs around the deck of the scooter, oriented to screw up (the heads to unscrew are facing down). Unscrew all of those, being careful to also unscrew the ones near the kickstand. Then carefully lift the deck up off the bottom of the scooter, and disconnect the orange connection cable to the brake light. Then, you have full access to the bottom of the scooter to replace the motor controller. At that point, you'll be at where samzone's video begins, and you'll need to do the soldering/connecting to the proper places as samzone shows so elegantly in his video.
If i missed anything @samzone let us know!
there is a manual that help you alittle but most of the way i use a little of reading searching and a little of common sense and i did it i going to make a video today to show how to program the controller kitjaysonjehsen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 10:57 pmHow'd you learn to use the universal controller? Is there a manual or instructions when it comes to electric bike/scooter motor controllers? I'd like to learn myself sometime!
