I don't see how a throttle would care what battery you have, it just needs to hook up to the controller. Maybe if it had little lights to tell you the state of charge, the voltage would be important, but not for the function of the throttle itself.

Sounds like your 36v contoller will work fine. Check your voltage specifications on your charger and your BMS for the battery - you will be doing a lot more than 48 volts. My 36v battery charges at 42 volts. A typical 48v battery will charge at around 55volts.

Your right , I was looking at a set of those with the lights to indicate charge , but have decided to go with these . ebike 24V 36V 48V 72V Throttle Speed Throttle Twist Speed Throttle Electric Scooter ebike Throttle Grip electric bike parts-in Electric Bicycle Motor from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
