    I tried the thumb up and down. Didn't like it. Went with the 100 percent twist. I love it. I hate the stock. I have a sur-ron and motorcycles. I'm so used to the twis. Its 100 percent twist for anyone used to a twist throttle. Thanks so much for the video

  • @chrisginsburg6611
    @chrisginsburg6611 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for the throttle tip. I'm changing my horrible thumb throttle after a year of poor control stop/starting on hills. BTW: The best "upgrade" for a Kaabo would be air suspension. I can hear all the spring rattling stiffness as you go over mild bumps. My Kaabo Warrior is the same -- too stiff for off-road, even with milder springs. I modified my Okai Panther with DMN Air shocks and it is just unbelievable how plush it rides now. I ride at 50PSI. Plus Air shocks are progressive, you can't bottom it out like the silly Kaabo rear springs setup. You do need to clean off, and spray anti-sticktion lube spray on Air shock stanchions occasionally... but so worth it.

    Thank you so much for this video. I bought my Wolf King GT Pro before Christmas. Glad mine came with the fuses and chargers to help prevent the fires reported earlier in the year. I still ride motorcycles from time to time but done with moto crossing. I am up there in years and bones and joints may not appreciate the jarring as much. That goes for my aggressive inline skating too. I still do outdoor speed skating, recumbent long distance rides in the mountains, skikes and this scooter. I like weird things. You are right about the Northwest weather. I am in Cali but my wife's family stays in Hood River, Oregon. One summer visiting I went for a skate on a summer, sunny day...came back soaked...on a warm summer sunny day. Quick shower came over the mountains, got me and then left. WTF!?!??!?! Anyway, thanks for the throttle tip. That stock throttle does urk me. That dead spot and then the sudden surge kick really makes me paranoid when initially applying throttle. After I am going I am fine. I am going to order that thumb throttle you like to try it out. Seems more comfortable..like you can rest your thumb pressed against bar vs hovering there in the air.

    Great video!
    Thumb throttle has always been my favorite on any scooter. the first thing i do to any scooter i buy, is add a thumb throttle to it.
    when i have sold my scooters, over time, i always ask the buyer if they prefer the original trigger finger throttle, on scooters that originally had the trigger finger throttle, and every time i’m asked to definitively leave the thumb throttle.

    • @GingerOnWheels

    @gritred5500 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Potentiometers easily have problems over time. For those of us that grew up with volume controls that caused this bad static noise when you turned it the fix we all learned was turn it back and forth really fast and it would temporarily fix issue. With a throttle being a failure point for enjoyment of scooter it’s best to get a brand name like a domino. All the testing can be done off the scooter hook a DVM and read the resistance as you turn the throttle and see how linear it is and how repeatable along with when the resistance starts and if it jumps at any point. So booking all these up is only needed once you screen the bad throttles out .

One thing that's been working for me in these first two days of ownership is placing the tip of my thumb at the base of the throttle where it rotates, then using the palm of my hand to squeeze the stock throttle. Makes a HUGE difference in granularity you can get with the stock throttle. I hope this helps someone.

    I use the same thumb throttle and I love it. Only downside is that, unless I spray some WD-40 once in a while, it becomes hard to modulate in small increments. It's kinda like when you push plastic against plastic, you can't do it slowly without it jittering.

It’s the not knowing when the throttle will kick in that also ads to the poor performance of that throttle. The best one I’m using now is a silver top thumb throttle I bought on Ali blah blah that has a more stubby lever placed much closer to the grip. Had to shim it also but it pays out the throttle more smoothly than any other I’ve tried for some reason.

    Hey Ginger, another great video.., my question to you is the pin orientation on the wolf side. I'm swapping full twist for the thumb throttle and I know the pin orientation on the new throttle but not the wolf. You cocktail CAD is great with the wire colors defined but I'm looking for what pin in the plug is what. I did a post on reddit and nobody has the answer. You have done the surgery already and hoping you would be able to help me figure this one out.

    Wow you're the scooter scientist Mr ginge 😂 so putting the volts u to 60v do you loose range also on the battery display would it be safe not go pass the last bar on the battery symbol to prevent any safety issues/surges . So am I right in thinking that any throttle can be used on our king gt pro as long as it is wire to your diagram.

    • @GingerOnWheels
      @GingerOnWheels  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, you would technically loose a few miles range by raising the minimum voltage.

    As for the "surge" the only time i ever get it, is after ive charged up (or possibly had it off for a week or so). i always pop it in 2nd speed now and place on dual motor and hit the throttle. it can jump hard then., put im prepared now, and thats it for the ride, no further problems on mine. A cautionary tale if your planing on letting a mate ride it for the first time after charging etc...
    As for the throttle, im wondering if a spare apollo phantom throttle, (a bit like the bafang) might plug in and work fine without the modding? Anyone know? (ps. thanx for the offer to help get me sorted with a bafang throttle ginger)
    But im pretty happy (and used to) with the 4mm super glued rubber strip on the base of original throttle to pad it out higher so you know when the powers coming in.

    Hey ginger. I currently own a wolf king get pro. I reviewed your and purchased a thumb throttle to upgrade from the factory. I chose one of the throttles from the link you provided. I received it in the mail today, the wire colors are different; colors wiring on the new throttle is RED, BLACK & GREEN. The only wire that matches is the black wire. I need to know where the green and red wire is connected? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks Derrick

      If haven’t swapped them yet it just won’t work if the wrong way. Would have been better to just identify what each wire is rather then just swap these two. I had bought the thumb throttle and just plugged it in at first and it did nothing then swapped the two wires and it worked. I recently just bought a nice DYOL thumb wheel throttle and wire are labeled on that so once I hook it up and it works I’ll beable to confirm which color wires on kaabos plug are which. Guessing black ground and red power and white speed signal

    You are so right about the up down thumb throttle. Just for comfort alone it was a game changer for me. $12 on Amazon US and bam, life is better.
    Also, filling my brake fluid and bleeding bubbles helped a ton. Braking is so much better now. I don't think Voro actually checks the things they say they do on their check sheets. My brakes were squishy and had no stopping power. They did send out a free brake fluid kit though to fix the issue.
    I should also mention they have the best price on 11in self sealing CST tires that come on the King GT. They are cheaper than China at $45 a piece. Bad job and good job Voro. I just wanted to take a break from all the Voro bashing I have done recently. Now I can go back to bashing.

      The password on the display in theory will prevent it from being able to turn on again by itself but when it happened on my ride it didn't necessarily shut down and boot back up. It just flickered on and off. So I'm not 100% sure. But between that, and raising the minimum voltage from 58 to 60. And promising myself to never run the battery down that low again. I just pray it won't happen anymore.

    I'm not a fan of the sudden acceleration or kicks when you start so I'm thinking of getting the minimotors trigger throttle from dualtron ($35). From what I heard this throttle have more of a gradual acceleration before you reach your top speed.
