Currie Ezip from 24 to 48v

[iridie]

Looking hard at one of these [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjTyBVPyqlw[/youtube]
from Madertech but I would like to keep the battery indicator lights if its at all possible. Are there any throttles that are a simple plug and play replacement for the 24v Currie OEM throttle?

Also does anyone have any experience with this particular upgrade kit?

You could use a 24v zener diode to drop the 48v to 24v range going to the lights ?

Yes

Thanks for the link etriker would it be hard to connect one of those to the new controller?

No, about all those brushed controllers use the same setup, just different connectors sometimes.

Need help just ask !

this is the throttle that came with the bike

notice that it has pas/tag function that I guess I will have to lose and battery led lights. The difference is that the OEM throttle is 24v and since I am installing this

I know I need a 48v throttle in order to still be able to use the battery life leds but the differences in the connectors is what has me confused.

Will I have to change connectors on one of those 48v throttles or can I just plug it into the connector that comes on the controller?
And if I have to change the connectors will I have to solder anything?
Im not really equipped for that

I upgraded my currie to 36 volts and bought controller and throttle from them.

World of difference. And runs hot now too. LOL
