Diamonite Electrathon America Racer

I added a connector to the Brake Lever/Brake light switch connection
...will be hidden behind the dash

This is so, the Lever is removable from the wiring harness
...& NOT permanently "hard wired" to it

Again, just Plug-n-Play
* Notice, the wire colors are connected (same/same)

Power wires (AKA Battery Cables)
The Positive (+) & Negative (-) power wire connector, at the Speed Controller

I used some Orange Vinyl tape to "bundle" the power wires together

* Taping tip: try-n-not touch the end of the tape when installing
...as to NOT contaminate or reduce the "stickability" of the "end" of the tape

On most EV's Orange "wrapping" indicates that they are the "High(er) Voltage" power wires

The Positive "battery cable" goes from the SC to the Circuit Breaker, first (Load)
...then, goes to the Battery pack (Batt)

* I labeled 'em for future reference

Let's discuss Speed Controllers

For this racer, we need a speed controller for a 48V system
...& 1,000W brushed motor

Here is the Yalu Model YL-03 48V 1,000W speed controller
...that came with the motor kit
...but, the label (on it) doesn't have much info

To help explain further
...this WYYS48 is a 48V 1,000W SC (speed controller)
...that I "fried" a whilst back
...but, the label, on this one, has more info

Model #: WYYS48
Power: 1,000W (for up to 1,000W motor)
Voltage: 48VDC (for use with 48V systems/battery packs)
Current: 32A (nominal current capacity 32 Amps)
Short Voltage: 42V (controller will "shut off" when the 48V battery pack, gets below ~42V)
Throttle Voltage: 1-4V (controller accepts throttles with a 1V-4V range)
Function: Reverse: (controller has additional Reverse feature)
Production Date: 20220910 (Made on Sept. 10, 2022)

Here is the wiring diagram that came with the kit

These are the big Power Wires
...Red (+) Black (-) are the Battery cables
...& Yellow & Blue are the Motors Power cables

These are the smaller Signal wires
...like Power Lock (On/Off), Throttle, Charger (Battery Charger connection), Brake (switch), Voltage Meter & Brake light(s)
