Jetson bolt pro broken throddle
Posted by Kel-B-Shobra@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Hi there , im in search of some assistance with repairing my e bike, or finding a more reliable alternative, as its currently my only transportation to work.
The issue im having is the throttle is broken. Its the twist style like a motor bike, and while i was riding today i hit a bump and it turned further than the max speed. It then was only half working , i had to mess it about to get it to activate the motor until i got to my work, the throttle was then stuck at max and wouldn't stop spinning until i turned the power off. I know the motor is fine and its just the throttle, as it has pedal assist and the motor will still help me while pedaling. But i have no idea where to start with repairing this, or if its even worth it to repair, like if i need proprietary parts or if i can just grab some off the shelf stuff.
Any help is appreciated and thanks for reading through.

This throttle is sold a direct replacement for the Bolt Pro. I bought one and installed it and it worked great, but the button is on-off, not a momentary switch like the original; you push it once to turn on the cruise or lights, but you have to push it again to reset it for use the next time. I know I’m doing a lousy job of describing it, but you’ll see when you install it. Other than this quirk, it’s great; seems higher quality than OEM and works well.

For $53 I rather get a refurbished Bolt Pro for $200 and have a lot of spare parts. Not least of which is the battery.

If the replacement is more durable id say its more worth it than buying another one just for a throddle that will break again. I already wasn't happy with the quality of the original. Other than that im pretty happy with the bike

Exactly,!! Not to mention 200 and 53 are not like almost the same number lmao!
