Introduction

The throttle on an electric bike is important for proper function. When the throttle mode is engaged, the motor provides power, propelling the bike forward, similarly to a motorcycle or electric scooter. Without a working throttle, an electric bike loses important functionality, becoming little more than a regular, pedal-operated bike.

This guide will walk you through the steps to replace the throttle on a 26-inch New Speed electric bike. Make sure that your bike is off and not receiving power before starting.

    • Remove the 3/32" Allen screw from the top of the throttle.

    • When removing the screw, make sure the wrench is well seated to avoid damaging the screw.

    • Make sure that your bike's power is turned off before beginning to disassemble it.
