Why does the electric tricycle not move when the throttle is twisted with no response?
2 Answers
Reasons why the electric tricycle throttle cannot be twisted are as follows: Check the electric vehicle battery: If the output is too low, it indicates the battery is faulty and needs immediate replacement. Check the throttle handle: Use a wire to short-circuit the positive terminal and signal wire of the throttle handle. If the vehicle moves, it means the throttle handle is faulty and needs immediate replacement or repair. Check the controller: You can short-circuit the positive 5V of the throttle handle wire. If the throttle handle twists, it indicates the controller is functioning properly. The simplest method is to smell the controller for any burnt odor, which would indicate controller damage. Check the motor condition: Poor contact of the motor carbon brushes can also cause the electric vehicle to not move.
I had the same issue with my electric tricycle last time. Turning the throttle had no response at all, which was really frustrating. I guessed it might be because the battery was dead, but even after charging, it still wouldn't move. Later, I found out that the wire connector was loose. I opened it up and tightened it myself, and it worked fine after that. It could also be that the sensor inside the throttle handle is broken. This thing is connected to the control box. That time, I spent fifty bucks to replace it with a new one. Another common problem is a blown fuse. You can check the small box near the battery to see if the fuse is broken, and just replace it with the same model. I've also heard that controller failure can cause this. Water damage or aging of the control box can lead to this issue. If nothing works, don't force it open. It's safer to push it to a repair shop and let a professional take a look, rather than messing around yourself and potentially damaging the vehicle.
