Hello and thank you in advance for your attention and help,
short version: I want to add a thumb throttle / throttle button to my Decathlon Hoptown 500 ebike. How can I do it?
long version: In the Hoptown 500 the motor is enabled by pedaling. The only controls available are:
With Eco the bike goes until 15 km/h, Normal 20 km/h, Sport +25 km/h. Motor response is always the same, so the activation seems to be on/off. I would like to have a button to trigger that on/off besides the pedal movement (or a thumb throttle or lever if it really isn't a on/off thing).
I unmounted the bike and saw this:
I don't see any connector for a throttle. I asked Google about the controller to know what does what in that PCB with no luck. But, I found similar models, like:
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/33015002130.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.110c7deePCK0gI&s=p&algo_pvid=2d0a9edc-660c-4b67-8530-682be1fd12e7&algo_expid=2d0a9edc-660c-4b67-8530-682be1fd12e7-11&btsid=99343e08-071b-4dae-a110-0d5850505fa6&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1,searchweb201603_53
It says 9pin throttle-brake-display light. So maybe my bike has the throttle cables there in the controller but no throttle is connected? Maybe I can connect something like this properly re-wiring? I don't mind if I loose the 3 speed switch (as long as I can wire something to be always in "Sport" mode/full speed available mode).
Or in these models only activation by PAS sensor is available?
Thank you again and sorry for the photo quality, I can take better/more specific ones if needed
