Is that wire going to the charger or the motor or the battery to the controller? I've had that kind of kit before and I've never had a fuse between the motor and controller or the battery and the controller for that matter. The plug that comes in the kit is supposed to be used with the charger that comes in the kit not with the motor and not with the battery to controller. The plug is only supposed to be used if you don't already have a charger and need to connect the kit charger to your battery pack for charging. From the picture it looks like you have that wire connected to the output on your battery correct? That fuse is meant for a charging current not a discharging current. It's too weak to handle what the motor and controller are pulling from the battery pack.
The red wire with the fuse blown joins the battery and controller.
My dad said that the whole set up looks wrong, because the wires coming out of the battery are thick and then join to thin?
Let me explain a bit more about the ride I went on. Might offer light on why a problem happened.
1. I rode for about 2 hours that day. With about an hour break in the middle.
Maybe the battery went flat? I was reading 3 little lights on the throttle which stayed on full.
2. I dropped the bike on its side once, it worked after that.
3. I went on to a rough patch, it seems when I hit a bump the power cuts for a split second.
4. Later in the evening, the power cut out completely with no apparant reason. Maybe ran out of power? I unplugged reconnected, it would cut out again after reving higher.
5. Last time I tried just outside my house as I was going to call it a night. I connected the wire and bit of fireworks shot out of the side of the bag.
Now, the instructions to putting the wires together as I said earlier were almost non existant. We kind of worked it out by trial an error.
Seriously, do I need that fuse at all? How dangerous would it be without a fuse?
The xlr connects to the batter charger which also has a little fan.
Im confused as I didn't see any other way that connected the kit together.
