This $20 Scooter Upgrade Changes The Game - Kaabo Wolf King GT Pro Electric Scooter Throttle Upgrade 

got a broken thumb, can still ride my original wolf 11 with finger throttle but just ordered the gt pro and so glad I can easily upgrade to the twist throttle! Ill be able to ride right away, Thanks Ginger!!

Thanks for the video ginger. I took your advice and changed the stock throttle for the thumb throttle, it feels much better.

Thank you so much for this video. I bought my Wolf King GT Pro before Christmas. Glad mine came with the fuses and chargers to help prevent the fires reported earlier in the year. I still ride motorcycles from time to time but done with moto crossing. I am up there in years and bones and joints may not appreciate the jarring as much. That goes for my aggressive inline skating too. I still do outdoor speed skating, recumbent long distance rides in the mountains, skikes and this scooter. I like weird things. You are right about the Northwest weather. I am in Cali but my wife's family stays in Hood River, Oregon. One summer visiting I went for a skate on a summer, sunny day...came back soaked...on a warm summer sunny day. Quick shower came over the mountains, got me and then left. WTF!?!??!?! Anyway, thanks for the throttle tip. That stock throttle does urk me. That dead spot and then the sudden surge kick really makes me paranoid when initially applying throttle. After I am going I am fine. I am going to order that thumb throttle you like to try it out. Seems more comfortable..like you can rest your thumb pressed against bar vs hovering there in the air.

Ginger absolutely killer video as usual brother thanks for coming back. The GT is all day. About to buy another one

I tried the thumb up and down. Didn't like it. Went with the 100 percent twist. I love it. I hate the stock. I have a sur-ron and motorcycles. I'm so used to the twis. Its 100 percent twist for anyone used to a twist throttle. Thanks so much for the video

I love your videos so much, great explanations and quality content. Keep it up.

I bought a wolf king gt a few ago and had some minor issues which led me to this Chanel.. love the videos will definitely be subscribing on patreon, keep up the great work

Well I’m now resold on the wolf king GT pro again! Thank you Ginger for this informative video.

Thank you Ginger!! I put the full twist throttle on mine and it's great 👍🏼 The scooter still has the occasional power surge though and im sure it's from the controller.

been using the up/down throttle for a wile now and its great just received the full twist throttle so im going to see how that goes.

YOOOOOO I just added that thumb throttle and went on a 50 km (31m) ride and it was amazing f@^k the stock one it is garbage like night and day. I bout one before and didn't work so I sent it back. After watching your video bought another one and spliced the wire and rewired it and it worked like a charm . Thanks a mill will upload video soon

There is a video where someone actually deletes the dead space. I'll find him again, but it was a very interesting watch. Thank you so much for this detail throttle! I have always wondered if you could change the thumb throttle to the twist. Twist always felt so natural to me, so now I can invest in this scooter!

WOW... So Informative... Amazing work... Puttin in work for all of us... Fantastic .... Thanks so much God Bless

Perfect! glad to hear it is just the throttle issue not the firmware/controller. That should be an easy fix for all users i guess. Kudos Ginger, you are very helpful.

Really interesting and smart solution Ginger :) Cheers from Vancouver Island :)

The second throttle that you like most is on the Weped FS (im sure you know), I get very very small kicks like you say in gear 1 on the FS also, like surges of power almost feels like it will cut out but doesnt and then slight kicks in power, but very very slight- Gear 2 and 3 are fine, so I just leave the FS in gear 2 99% of the time. That full twist throttle could br worth a try..... Great video as normal man

Thanks to you Ginger On Wheels, I now own a Wolf King GT Pro lol. One thing that's been working for me in these first two days of ownership is placing the tip of my thumb at the base of the throttle where it rotates, then using the palm of my hand to squeeze the stock throttle. Makes a HUGE difference in granularity you can get with the stock throttle. I hope this helps someone.

Dang get ah Grip! 😂 Great job with testing those out. ✨✅✨Your Awesome!

I wonder if that thumb throttle will work on my emove curser, worth a shot I guess, love the videos!

Great video! Thumb throttle has always been my favorite on any scooter. the first thing i do to any scooter i buy, is add a thumb throttle to it. when i have sold my scooters, over time, i always ask the buyer if they prefer the original trigger finger throttle, on scooters that originally had the trigger finger throttle, and every time i’m asked to definitively leave the thumb throttle.

I commented too soon! Brake deactivates the throttle?! I love watching all of your videos over again after purchasing the bad boy after a couple cheaper ones like the Titan Pro...Watching yours months ago got me onto this scooter!

It's good to see you and the king are friends again.

Thanks for this vid. Can’t agree with you about the thumb throttle. It’s twist grip all the way for me. Will be modifying the one I have bought to suit, so thanks for the info.

I’m also looking at WW King GT Pro, and knowing that the throttle can be swapped makes me happy. Though the WW will be my first thumb throttle so I’ll see if I like it first. Side note, I’m 100% a street rider

Thumb throttles for the win! They feel by far the best for me too.

lovin the jacket ginge

I love twist throttle. I have one on my emove cruiser. I wish my Wolf Warrior 11 had one!

I use the same thumb throttle and I love it. Only downside is that, unless I spray some WD-40 once in a while, it becomes hard to modulate in small increments. It's kinda like when you push plastic against plastic, you can't do it slowly without it jittering.

the password display will be a big helps with thieves!!!! Brilliant idea

*Very thorough* ⚡👏🏼👏🏼⚡

The thing that bothers me is why do you have to fix adjust or play with anything since this scooter costs $4000

"oh boy A Hill!!!" LoL I admire your courage to get back on the Kaabo WK-GT Pro and the extra effort you have went into this video especially I was wondering about throttles..The first throttle the twist looked awesome. Great review this has gave me ALOT to think about. Ginger do you find that the change of thottles kinda or somewhat changes the riding experience?

I received my Wolf King GT 2 weeks ago and I don’t have any surging problems.

Ima definitely go for a full twist throttle I think when I upgrade from a kaabo mantis pro se to a kaabo wolf king gt pro

yes allways said they were the best thumb trottles the last one you tryed i use one on my g2 pro great video as allways ginge.

I still like the thumb throttle since I am a long time quad rider.

Nice upgrade! And you’re right, it should not come like that straight from the factory to the consumer especially if it’s the consumer’s first scooter

Great video. I bought the same throttle for mine. My other 2 bigest concerns are turning down the regen braking. At high speeds they come on 2 strong. I am also going to try to make a brighter rear led brake light using 5w chip led's and a heat sink. Do you know how to adjust the regen braking??

I like the dead zone. I've bumped the throttle with my chest when digging into my pouch and was glad it was only a little burp. With no dead zone I'd probably have it take off. Can you use the oem grip with the thumb twister?

Video Saved!

All the throttles I've gotten with the wp connector have been plug and play on my Varla Eagle One Pro

😎👍... Awesome Video.

Is there a way to change the regenerative braking power / ratio applied to each wheel? I'm getting a lot of rear wheel wobble when breaking from high speed, activating only the regenerative braking with light brake squeeze without engaging the physical brakes..

Thanks so much. The thumb throttle was killing me lol #FLINKO

Have asked through the dealer to have a stock throttle tested and re-calibrated by Kaabo AU or I'll have mine tested independently at the local Uni. Mine's being password locked from day one so I wouldn't count on that. Changing the torque setting on the front hub on mine does not match the display graphs as power is constantly being switched between rear and front hubs according to it but the scooter remains smooth and powerful. What ever they flashed that nice TFT display with needs review.

Is it possible to install a trigger throttle on the wolf king gt pro? if so, which one would you recommend? I dont like thumb throttles.

Hey what's up I own a varla eagle one scooter and I know you do too. my question is I want to get a thumb throttle but is it a direct plug and play or do I have to program the new thumb throttle ?

How did you figure out the wiring for the wolf next year going to get a nami burn e I want the same thumb throttle on it. it's what I have on my commuter scooter I love it

Hey question, does the kaabo wkgt suppose to have 3 unplugged wires in the sine wave box?

Awesome mod absolutely love it. Do you by chance have any information on swapping a ey3 onto a vsett 10+? You have me sold on the vsett for my next scooter except for that hard to see display

I've been riding motorcycles for over 50 years so a full twist throttle on my Laotie ES19 works best for me. Hated the stock finger lever thingie it came with.

Nice video man keep it up. Can i make it work with kaabo mantis? Any answer would be appreciated! Love the channel btw💪🏼

Thanks u know ur stuff

I forgot to ask where did you get extra plugs to wire onto the throttle s

Hey Ginger! My wolf GT kicks every now and then when I get back on the throttle.. is the throttle the issue or is it the controller? It only happens like once a ride. If so can you send me a link to your favorite throttle

Does the INMOTION RS have the same wiring as this?? I need to swap out the half twist badly. Lol. Love your videos!!

Perfect I was considering the same thing , well idea .I didn't actually know they made a thumb throttle like that . My only question is , Would it mess with the warranty ? I also wanted to ask about my rear brake locking up , does anyone else have that problem ? Glad you're OK and back riding bro .

so does the twist throttle stop the kicking?

Hey Ginger, another great video.., my question to you is the pin orientation on the wolf side. I'm swapping full twist for the thumb throttle and I know the pin orientation on the new throttle but not the wolf. You cocktail CAD is great with the wire colors defined but I'm looking for what pin in the plug is what. I did a post on reddit and nobody has the answer. You have done the surgery already and hoping you would be able to help me figure this one out.

Potentiometers easily have problems over time. For those of us that grew up with volume controls that caused this bad static noise when you turned it the fix we all learned was turn it back and forth really fast and it would temporarily fix issue. With a throttle being a failure point for enjoyment of scooter it’s best to get a brand name like a domino. All the testing can be done off the scooter hook a DVM and read the resistance as you turn the throttle and see how linear it is and how repeatable along with when the resistance starts and if it jumps at any point. So booking all these up is only needed once you screen the bad throttles out .

Thanks! And I will venmo you for more info or repairs in the future :)

A twist throttle, who knew? Every single motorcycle rider since 1909!

Since you are not cutting anything on the king gt and only the throttle, would this still void the warranty?

Wow you're the scooter scientist Mr ginge 😂 so putting the volts u to 60v do you loose range also on the battery display would it be safe not go pass the last bar on the battery symbol to prevent any safety issues/surges . So am I right in thinking that any throttle can be used on our king gt pro as long as it is wire to your diagram.

Do these work the same for the kaabo wolf warrior 11.... thanks buddy

Would you happen to know how to refill the fluid on the front suspensions of the wolf king GT Pro? Also, what kind of fluid?

hello there. Nice video!

Thanks I really do enjoy your video, just a quick question do you think the same throttle system can work for Nami burn E 2 Max Scooter thanks

Iv noticed on the kaabo mantis 10 lite after 1300km when you let go of the finger throttle you get a slight boost if power , maybe it's a fault in all kabbo firmware

Do you know which wire is the 5v power wire of those? I bought a throttle but the colors are different than those.

Given the thumb up/down throttle.. reply.. do you think it may have been a faulty throttle then ? Good to hear you are recovered and that no lasting damage was caused. Did you send your previous video to Voro and Kaboo at all ?

GTR Trigger throttle Works absolutely flawless on my GT Pro (Best scooter on the planet) , no dead spot and very responsive. plug & play!

What brand up and down throttle for wolf king get pro?

i bought that thumb throttle but it wont activate at all. am i doing something wrong? i havent rearranged any of the wiring though, i need some further clarity before i do any of that.

Checked out your videos on the king gt pro and they're very informative and you seem to know your stuff. I'm seriously considering purchasing one. I've noticed there's a gt pro plus now, any idea of the difference between the models? Thanks for any help, can't find any vids on it anywhere.

As for the "surge" the only time i ever get it, is after ive charged up (or possibly had it off for a week or so). i always pop it in 2nd speed now and place on dual motor and hit the throttle. it can jump hard then., put im prepared now, and thats it for the ride, no further problems on mine. A cautionary tale if your planing on letting a mate ride it for the first time after charging etc... As for the throttle, im wondering if a spare apollo phantom throttle, (a bit like the bafang) might plug in and work fine without the modding? Anyone know? (ps. thanx for the offer to help get me sorted with a bafang throttle ginger) But im pretty happy (and used to) with the 4mm super glued rubber strip on the base of original throttle to pad it out higher so you know when the powers coming in.

hi ginger how do you wire the twist throttle with the wires can you please help me thanks

Very informative vid.. i dont have a e scooter yet . Im coming from and euc .. i was thinking of getting a kaabo mantis v2 . Would this “hack” work the being that the v2 has the ey3 display and i see on ur kaabo u have the middle led screen.. or would i have to apply the same strategy but with a diff throttle that comes wit a screen? Thnx in advance

Nice one Ginge. So changing the Voltage from 52 to 60 stops the cut out that threw you off?

I saw the wire diagram, the thumb throttle I have has differnt wire colors, anyone know the 3 pin setup, plus +, ground - , and speed wire?

I fit a 3d printed twist throttle adapter to that style of up/down thumb throttle on one of my scooters(G2 Pro) and it was pretty fun, but dangerous. Had to dismantle cruise control(which I always use on thumb throttles but never trigger) and it would get stuck at speed...always wanted to try a legit twist like the emove cruisers, considered swapping out a trigger throttle for that stock style that pushes in but ended up sticking with the trigger(on Apollo Ghost) I wish I could test one out before I spend $100 on it, but now I'll prolly ditch the thumb throttle idea seeing how pushing sideways looks like an awkward movement. I rode atv's before ever owning a scooter so thumb throttles were my assumed preferred throttle....but one that pushes in so horizontally seems strange. meh.

Gotta ask, does anyone know if the new King GT comes with some sort of steering dampening? i just bought one and it has this weird notchy dampening that the scooter shop said was a new feature?

would any of these throttles also work on a Kaabo Wolf Warrrior X GT? I imagine the wiring is probably almost identical

Can I add the thumb throttle to my Dualtron Victor Luxury? I tired them all, but I prefer the thumb. The finger almost.caused me an accident because it's too close to the brakes.

Great comparison bro... I wished you tested a trigger too LOLOL. I'm gonna wait a little while longer and see if they fix the storm limited issues... Or maybe by then a new scooter with Sinewave and trigger comes out

Hey there Ginger I tried the throttle change but an era comes up I followed yr diagram any thoughts or insight I would love to change the thumb throttle

What's the general builder quality of this kaabo compared to the dualtron ? I can just about afford to get one but worried about the kaabo. Is it as good as the dualtron?

What about the good old "trigger" throttle? )) It works absolutely fine for me :))

Hey ginger. I currently own a wolf king get pro. I reviewed your and purchased a thumb throttle to upgrade from the factory. I chose one of the throttles from the link you provided. I received it in the mail today, the wire colors are different; colors wiring on the new throttle is RED, BLACK & GREEN. The only wire that matches is the black wire. I need to know where the green and red wire is connected? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks Derrick

These scooters have pretty big batteries. How often do they need to be replaced. Are they good for so many cycles before they just won't take a charge???

I did the same test last year and found the thumb twist throttle the worst of them all. The lever style performs much better if the dead spot is shimmed out. Taking them apart the hall chip is slightly larger and magnetic strip longer in the lever thumb throttle which makes a difference in low speed performance.

i got this same thumb throttle and already have it wired up fbefore my king Gt gets here tomorrow, the only complaint i have is the throttle feels extra cheap lol but that's ok

Probably a dumb question, but would the same throttle and wiring diagram work on a Kaabo Mantis 10 Elite? Cheers

You are so right about the up down thumb throttle. Just for comfort alone it was a game changer for me. $12 on Amazon US and bam, life is better. Also, filling my brake fluid and bleeding bubbles helped a ton. Braking is so much better now. I don't think Voro actually checks the things they say they do on their check sheets. My brakes were squishy and had no stopping power. They did send out a free brake fluid kit though to fix the issue. I should also mention they have the best price on 11in self sealing CST tires that come on the King GT. They are cheaper than China at $45 a piece. Bad job and good job Voro. I just wanted to take a break from all the Voro bashing I have done recently. Now I can go back to bashing.

Does the grt trigger work

Love your channel, very informative. I'm looking into getting either the wolf king gt, or the wolf warrior gt. I'm 5'6, I feel the king gt may be too big. Any advice/thoughts from you would be greatly appreciated. 👍👍

try the 300x troutle its the best same convertion we use

Thanks for doing this... I cant stand the stock throttle with the huge dead zone and the random bucking when trying to ease into it.

Question. I have a wolf king in its box.never used😢 is there anything g I can do to make it tame with the square wave controllers?????

I'm not a fan of the sudden acceleration or kicks when you start so I'm thinking of getting the minimotors trigger throttle from dualtron ($35). From what I heard this throttle have more of a gradual acceleration before you reach your top speed.
