Thanks for the correction John.? I think it is what I was taught
in school many years ago, but it may have been reinforced or
misremembered by knowing that in monochrome processes such as
photocopying that I guess are optimised for the centre of the
visible sprectrum, red comes out as dense black and yellow comes
out as bright white.? Meanwhile the poster who suggested that this
motor was wired using whatever came to hand, has the most
plausible explanation to my mins.

As one who is red/green color blind (the
most common color blindness) I can tell you that red does not
look black.? Contrary to what many think, color blind people
do not see just in black & white.? For me, and depending
on the shade, red, green, and brown can all look alike, though
not always.? Some shades of blue and purple can look alike.?

I¡¯m not familiar with the European wire
color standards but I¡¯m certain they didn¡¯t change anything
because red looked black.?

Probably ok if this is 24VDC.
But ¡
standand European domestic mains appliances are Brown =
Live, Blue = neutral, yellow/green = Earth. ? We stopped
using red/black for live/neutral a long time ago due to red
colourblindness when red looks black.

Greetings
all.
I am in the process of converting my SL to
a 24 dc scooter motor according to
instructions and illustrations in the
¡°Photos¡± section. What is unclear to me is
determining which are the positive and
negative leads from the motor to the power
supply. My motor has brown and blue leads.
Am I correct is assuming that the brown
wire is the ground or negative one? The
rest of the wiring is clear to me except
where the green ground lead originates. I
would think attaching the motor end to the
motor or metal mount should work fine.
