eScootNow's TurboTap Throttle conversion cables are a moulded factory prepared lead that provides drop-in, plug-and-play replacement of stock throttles on NAMI and Kaabo makes with alternatives such as other Wuxing offerings. Part of the eScootNow originals TurboTap range.
Typical / common Wuxing throttles are factory fitted with male yellow 3-pin eBike connector. The connector is an M8, known as brands of Julet / Okfeet / BMING / Higo etc). The wiring adopts a pinout configuration for KT, Rapid & Bolt (e-bikes) which differs to that adopted on NAMI and Kaabo makes. This conversion cable adopts that common eBike wiring convention to that adopted on most eScooters that have the 3-pin female connector on stem main line.
Designed for compatibility on makes of NAMI and Kaabo. Compatibility with other makes/models is not assured however they are known to suit Elektro Ultra series. See notes for Teverun.
10cm length with distinct male-female lime/lemon coloured plugs for easy identification.
Notes:
TurboTap Throttle Conversion Cable is used with Wuxing KTRB throttles to fit an aftermarket replacement of the stock throttles such as the Kaabo Wolf Warrior and NAMI throttles. These all have the same M8 yellow 3-pin connector (albeit Teverun adopts a different gender).
eScootNow also generally holds stock of "eBike" cables (M8 such as Julet / Higo / Okfeet / BMING) in various lengths. There are some conversion cables under production which provide for reverse (cross-over) connectivity.
There are four relatively common 3-pin connector systems used amongst eScooters and eBikes. This cable converts (c) to (d).
Bafang which a female connector on the throttle wire plug.
EcoBike and Blade/Teverun which is also female but with different pinouts.
KT, Rapid & Bolt which is male These have the appropriate gender plug for NAMI/Kaabo but require conversion as the pin-outs are not natively appropriate.
NAMI/Kaabo which is also male but with appropriate pinouts for these systems.
Image below from ebikestuff.uk (Poland) showing the four various systems. Markup by eScootNow denoting common makes that adopt 3-pin.ebikestuff produce a number of less-common Wuxing throttles natively wired for specific makes such as their Trigger Throttle (NAMI).
Product schematic (wiring diagram):
Cables are assembled to this specification. The wire furthest from the keyed notch remains in place (straight through). The cable simply swaps the two adjacent to the keyed notch. The colours were specifically chosen to match that of the NAMI throttle and main line colouring convention (BMING). The NAMI diagrams are published here.
Teverun:
Simply use an TurboTap M8 Cable, variant: 3 Pin Yellow Female-Female Prepared Lead. It will perform the appropriate conversion a shown in notes further below.
The "cut the wire approach".
Most throttle systems have the same electronic properties (+ve 5v, -ve and hall sensor throttle signal output 0.8-4.8V). Typically if a throttle is not specifically designated as supporting a specific eScooter make (or model), it will be wired for a different system. In some instances the wires are well understood, such as shown in video and image below from Ginger on Wheels . There are assumptions here, however it shows the approach of swapping wires on the throttle based on colours (and not introducing a new cable with foreign colours / different pinouts). The conversion drawn is a KTRB to Kaabo, which will additionally apply on NAMI:
This diagram helps to visualise pinouts amongst genders. It helps understand where reverse / cross-over needs to be undertaken. The left shows the main cable harness on makes of Teverun/Blade and Kaabo/NAMI. The right three various throttle systems. Note change of gender effectively swaps the wiring.
