The throttle that was purchased was jamming and It was observed that two pieces of wire were preventing the piece of plastic from snapping in place. It was fixed by cutting a hole out were the wire would be exposed and covering them with electrical tape to enable the throttle to move properly. The discharged circuit was assembled and tested. It was concluded that the terminals carrying higher amounts of amperage should not be soldered but crimped instead to avoid the chances of the solder to melting onto the battery. Calculations were also revised and it was found that at 10kW power usage the motor will be able to accelerate the motorcycle up to 27.5 m/s (61 mph).
