Q: Now that I understand the purpose of these wires, I need to know exactly how to connect bike conversion kit<\/a> wires.
\n1. “you could use a switch(on\/off)to short pink and black”
\n1.1 What kind of switch? Is it included this bike kit<\/a> or I have to buy it?
\n1.2 If I have to buy a switch, what are the characteristics of it? How do I connect pink\/black wires to the switch?
\n1.3 If so, do I need to buy additional wires to connect pink\/black to the switch? If so \u2013 what are the characteristics of it, wire resistance\/diameter?
\n1.4 These pink\/black wires are connected to a plastic connector
\nDo I need to buy another connector to connect my new hub motor<\/a> ? <\/p>\n

2 “use yellow and brown wires coming from the throttle to control your bike kit cruise.”
\n2.1 Again-how would I do that? Do I need to connect yellow\/brown wires somewhere on the hub motor controller, is so \u2013 how?
\n2.2 Please note that these wires don\u2019t have any kind of connector attached \u2013 am I suppose to connect them ?<\/p>\n

3 “put the green wire to “+” and the grey to “-“, your LED on your throttle will light”
\n3.1 Where are the \u201c+\u201d and \u201c-\u201d you are referring to? Is it on the battery itself, or controller, or elsewhere? (for example: battery itself doesn\u2019t seem to have open +\/- sockets \u2013 other than the one used by the supplied cable)
\n3.2 Can I connect green\/grey permanently (so that LED always shows the battery status), if so – how would I connect? Where would I connect them to exactly – controller or battery?
\n3.3 Again please note that green\/grey wires are not attached
\nto any connector, just “bare” wires, so I don\u2019t understand how can I connect them?
\nIf you have any additional photographs and\/or drawings, please share them also. If I need to buy
\nadditional parts \u2013 please let me know what they are.<\/p>\n

A: Don\u2019t mistake with the positive and cathode of your bike kit battery to hub motor controller.(red and black battery wires).It doesn\u2019t matter about making a mistake with other wires.
\nDon’t worry. Short any thin wires, it doesn’t burn your controller.
\n1.Cruise: when your motor is running, connect the pink wire to black wire(use a wire to connect pink and black wire) or you could use your brake lever to test this function. When your brake, it will cruise, when your loose your brake level, it will cancel cruise function.
\n2.This switch just have on\/off function, you could buy other switches in your market
\n3.You should use a wire to connect bike conversion kit, it doesn\u2019t matter about wire resistance \/ diameter, is this wire, no current.
\n4.You could use spare connector: yellow connect pink wire, brown connect black wire (C&Z),when your motor is running, press this red switch, your motor will cruise as the same speed.
\nPut the green wire to battery “+”
\nPut the grey wire to battery “-”
\nThe Led will light, try it as I said, it doesn’t burn anything.
\nIn fact, it’s very easy to do it, for example, you could use your
\nhandle brake (two wires) to make a female connector connect any connector (white & black, pink & black)from hub motor controller.
\nIf possible, you could use a software “e-drawing” to open our 3D about this hub motor controller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
