M365 With Bird Zero Motor

Does anyone have a good resource they could point me toward?
I just got it fully installed all wires hooked up, except the white one on the bird motor. I read somewhere else that this was essentially plug and play.
Now that it’s hooked up, it turns on, I get no errors, but when I press the accelerator it feels like it’s activating the regenerative breaking.
The firmware is still the original, so I’m required to kick to start the motor. This works fine.
When I installed it the first time I installed it backwards, which obviously didn’t work.
Anyone know what’s up or a link to something that may help? I’ve looked all over the internet and found nothing so far.

I included a couple images.
INB4 - the condition of the wiring is just temporary until I get it working, obviously.

Try switching the brown and blue phase wires on your controller (the thick ones).

Thank you both so much! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.
It works like a charm now! Goes up hills like nobody’s business.

Small request, but any way you guys could put a definitive guide with steps/pictures of this together? There isn’t anything online that details the process that I've found. Yet to do the conversion myself but will have a crack at it this weekend.

Assuming the steps would be as follows:

- Zero wheel removal
- Xiaomi 365M wheel removal
- Zero wheel installation on to Xiaomi scooter
- Wiring instruction
- Flashing instruction

the definitive thread was deleted so you will have to improvise

removal....just unscrew stuff until it comes apart lol.

cut off the wires from the xiaomi motor that connect to the controller and solder them to the electisan wires

the thicker wires...
blue connects to green
maroon connects to blue
yellow to yellow

the smaller wires all color match

Where did you get the motors from?
Is it possible, that the source of the motors has one more for me?

Impound auctions when Bird don't pay the fines and daily storage fees. Seems to be a big crackdown in residential areas at the moment. Just bought 20 units.

so I've got everything wired up but nothing. I previously flashed custom firmware but do I need to reflash the controller? if so can anyone share a firmware file that worked for them? thank you
