How to Replace the Controller

1. Access the Controller

   • Remove the top deck by peeling back the deck mat and unscrewing the necessary screws.

   • Carefully lift the deck to reveal the battery and controllers.

2. Remove Controller

   • Take pictures of all connections before unplugging.

   • Unscrew controllers from the deck (adhesive at the bottom may require extra force).

   • Carefully disconnect wiring, referencing the wiring diagram to avoid mistakes.

3. Install New Controller

   • Connect the replacement controller using your photos and wiring diagram as guidance.

   • Test functionality before fully reassembling.

   • Secure controller with screws and neatly compress wiring before reinstalling the deck.

Common Error Codes & Issues

TFT Controller Error (Error Code 6)

• Indicates a likely controller fault.

• Nine times out of ten, the controller must be replaced.

• Sometimes caused by:

  • Loose or damaged connections

  • Water damage

  • Motor or step-down issues

Damaged / Burned Wires

• Stop riding immediately.

• Take photos for warranty assessment.

• Damaged wires on controllers require full replacement—individual wires are not serviceable.

Scooter Not Moving

1. Check that “PAS / Kick Start” is not enabled.

   • If enabled, change P5 to throttle start (or turn off in TFT advanced settings).

2. Check motor resistance:

   • Heavy resistance → motor may need replacement

   • Little/no resistance → controller may be faulty

Unplugged Wires

• Ask for pictures.

• Compare to wiring diagram.

• Only reconnect wires outside of diagram if safe.

Scooter Turns Off When Operating Headlights

• Get photo/video of the LCD/TFT showing the issue.

• Likely cause: PCB/Stepdown or controller connection.

• Inspect for damaged wires; may require controller replacement.

Scooter Does Not Reach Top Speed

• Gather customer info: weight, terrain, battery level.

• Recommended PSI:

  • MPSE / Mantis King / Wolf X Pro / Warrior X GT: 45 PSI

  • WW / WK / WWGT / WKGT: 55 PSI

• Ensure battery fully charged.

• Verify scooter can reach top speed without rider (on stool/chair test).

Damaged Pins

• Ask for photos for verification.

• Pin replacement steps:

  1. Cut off damaged pin.

  2. Strip wire to expose copper.

  3. Crimp new pin onto wire.

  4. Test connection before final assembly.

Hill Climb Issues

• Based on 150 lb rider; +10 lb → ~1° decrease in hill climb.

• Overheating / shutoff may occur if overloaded; may affect controller/motor.

Hall Sensors

• Measure motor speed and angle using Hall Effect.

• Required for sinewave controllers.

Speed Limitations

• Adjust P8 setting or speed limiter wires.

• TFT: Advanced settings → speed limitation % (default 100%).

Water Damage

• Inspect wires/pins for corrosion.

• Send photos for verification.

• Controller may still function but could fail over time.
