Introduction
If you are experiencing electrical issues with your Biktrix Skytrike you may need to replace the controller. Follow these steps for instructions on doing so!
You will need the following tools for this:
Phillips screwdriver
Side Cutters or snips to cut zip ties
Battery keys
Continue along with the guide to begin
Step 1
Remove the Battery from your Skytrike - using the key to rotate the battery lock to the "XXX" position, and pulling the battery upwards for removal.
Goto the center cavity of the bike as shown - this is where the Skytrike's controller is housed.
Remove all of the bolts securing the plate to the Skytrike with your Phillips Screwdriver
Remove the plate from the Skytrike when all bolts are taken out
Step 2
Gently pull out the controller from the cavity
Locate the connectors on each lead. One at a time, unplug the connector from the problematic controller and plug it into the new controller.
This will ensure you plug EVERYTHING back in!
The taillight wire will exit through the rear end of the frame; you may need to snip zip ties to unplug this.
With the new controller connected to the bike, slide the controller and cables back into the frame
Watch for the taillight wire and make sure it is exiting from the frame!
Step 3
Re-install the cover on the controller cavity with the 4 bolts you removed earlier.
Check the taillight wire and ensure that any zip ties you may have snipped for controller removal are re-installed.
Your new controller is now installed! Plug the battery back in and take your Skytrike out for a ride!
