Part 1: Connect the Three Motor Phase Wires
The motor uses three large phase-wire connections:
- yellow
- green
- blue
For the controller shown in the supplied procedure, each motor phase wire connects to the controller wire of the same color.
The bolted connections need to remain straight enough to fit correctly inside their insulating sleeves. Do not sharply fold the joint after tightening it.
Step 1: Prepare the Yellow Phase Wire
Locate the yellow motor phase wire and the yellow controller phase wire.
The official Arwibon Q30 video shows these wires at about 00:22.
Before bolting the terminals together, slide the insulating sleeve over one side of the wire.
The video shows the sleeve being prepared at about 00:15.
Move it far enough away from the terminal so it does not interfere with tightening.
Step 2: Connect Yellow to Yellow
Place the two yellow ring terminals together.
Insert the terminal bolt and install the nut.
The official video shows the connection being tightened at about 00:36.
Use the Allen key together with the appropriate wrench or socket to hold both sides of the hardware.

- throttle and motor operation.
For the first motor test, support the scooter so the driven wheel is off the ground.
Apply only a small amount of throttle initially.
Step 21: Test the Brake Cutoff
With the driven wheel elevated, operate the motor briefly.
Then squeeze each brake lever.
Check that motor drive stops when the brake cutoff circuit is activated.
If the motor continues to drive while a brake lever is held, switch the scooter off and recheck the corresponding wiring before riding.
Step 22: Check the Phase Connections After Testing
Turn the scooter off after the initial motor test.
Inspect the yellow, green, and blue phase connections again.
Make sure the insulating sleeves have not moved and no metal terminal has become exposed.
If a phase-wire connection is loose, do not continue using the scooter.
Step 23: Position the Controller Inside the Deck
Place the new controller into its normal position inside the battery compartment.
Arrange the wiring around it without sharply bending the phase joints.
Keep the insulated phase connections separated and away from the metal deck frame.
Do not place a heavy component directly on top of the signal connectors.
Step 24: Arrange the Wiring Before Closing the Deck
Place excess cable into the available spaces around the controller and battery.
Make sure:
- no phase joint is trapped against the deck edge;
- no wire runs across a cover screw hole;
- no connector is underneath the battery or controller;
- the XT60 plug is not being pulled by the surrounding wiring.
Step 25: Reinstall the Battery Cover
Once the controller and wiring are positioned correctly, reinstall the battery compartment cover.
