Steve, The "Made by ZAP" is that the same vehicle? Can they help you to get info on the controller? Else it will simply be a matter of trying - take a multimeter and measure the voltage on the pins of the connector. If you see one that is between 6 and 12V and occasionally dips (varies) in voltage then that might be an RS232 TX line. Oscilloscope will tell you if it is a digital comm signal.
Seeing the 5 connectors: red, black and 3 color outputs, tells me that this is an AC controller. I presume that the connectors with the double row of contacts are the control inputs (switches, sensors and throttle) but in my controller, there is also a serial interface on one of these connectors (but that is not a chinese controller). Even if you can find the serial port connections, it will be another challenge to find out how to program it... Success!

(the Jonway Massimo / Mullen 100e / Atomic-EV / etc) I bought myself a big expensive toy a few weeks ago. It's a Jonway Massimo MSE-220. This is also being sold as a Mullen Motors e100, or an Atomic-EV, or probably a dozen other names. This car is being cranked out in mass numbers over in China, and begun to show up here. Only problem is that there doesn't seem to be a whole lot written on them. I was given a manual with mine from www.jonwayauto.com which looks to have been translated from Mandarin to English using an online translator (it's rough readin'). I am working on correcting all of the mistakes, and I will be publishing that soon (to somewhere). I have to assume that there is someone else out there that has one of these. And is looking for 'friends' to share information with. For instance - I would like to try to find a way to lift the speed restrictions on my controller. But it's an unmarked Chinese number and I can't find anything online about it. I tore my controller out and opened it up today and I don't see any easy way to lift the restrictions. There is a strange 10 pin DIN port on the side, which I would think might be a serial interface. But then again it may be for accessories, service troubleshooting, etc. Here are some pictures I took today: https://plus.google.com/photos/100430129794260842281/albums/6122935252456685905?authkey=CLSS8ZD567rmZQ Perhaps if any of you out there have worked on something similar, you can offer some advice. If you also own one of these, or you have a friend who does, put them in touch with me. We need a fan club!
