As far as i know Hisun has tried to work out the Maytech remote v2 but they stopped development (for reason that i do not know). They’re working on their own new remote.
Just dig it out. That potting material is usually pretty easy to get the components out of. You’ll probably find water got in, and signs of corrosion. I would have filled the box with corrosionX and sealed it up!
Hi mattgalic,

Here is the receiver. I’m not sure what is managed through it (battery lcd, magnet switch?).
So questions now are:
- is it possible to use a different remote (Maytech?) with actual receiver
- is Maytech receiver could replace this one ?
- is a complete mod (esc/receiver/remote) is the only way to upgrade the Hisun?
Thanks for helping
Hisun uses an ebike controller and you won’t get pwm working with a standard Rc receiver.
He can use a 433mhz garage remote and program that to the board. Can’t recall how you do off the top of my head, I think you plug in the battery while hitting a button on the remote.
Other option if you can figure out what the wires are. You should have positive, negative and a 0-5v going to the controller. Usually red, black and green. Sometimes green is brown or white - that’s the signal wire. You can get a converter that changes pwm to 0-5v. Look for PT01A on Ebay. Like $6. I wanted to use that setup for a wake winch build, still procrastinating that project.
Still think an ebike controller is a better option for efoil. Also like the step speeds of hisun remote. It’s cruise control and helps you stand up without accidentally goosing the throttle.

That was helpful @Dirkdiggler thanks. I am still trying to help my friend @LAHISurfDoc to revive this beast and hook up his new PWM remote. I got a PWM to 0-5V converter. I would like to leave the potted electronics in the front untouched and instead intercept the data cables at the 4-pin plug next to the ESC. So the 4 cables are as follow:
- Ground
- +36V always
- +36V when mag switch is on
- 0-5V controllable with the Hisun garage door opener
Now I hoped that I could just disconnect the 0-5V cable and drive it with the 0-5V output of the new controller/receiver/converter contraption. Problem is that the system doesn’t like that wire to be disconnected, the power display won’t light up unless it’s connected. A safety mechanism?
Thoughts about leaving it connected and feeding the 0-5V in while connected?
That’s weird. Don’t know why it does that. Yes, I would just add the 0-5v signal. Just be careful! Mine has the silver motor controller and I know the second gen is black. I am pretty sure there is a typical hall throttle wiring on the silver controller.
Is that what your receiver looks like?
Which wires have to be connected?
The esc is black so maybe the 2nd gen. I am intercepting the 4 cables at the esc plug, I didn’t open the receiver box. It all behaves very strange. When the 0-5V cable is disconnected everything is dead, like I mentioned. When I connect it and in addition feed the 0-5V in with that little potentiometer rig, the motor starts to spin but also the receiver in the front starts making a scary buzzing sound. Mystery to me. I am afraid @LAHISurfDoc you have to continue bugging the Hisun guys for a better remote. Flaky garage door opener for now.
Have a good email for them
I have tried as many as I can find
none reply
Any body have any idea on the battery pack mine are getting weak and shut down early
Also any idea where to get more magnetic cut off magnets that go on the leash
Thank you
Just google " Electric Safety Kill Switch".
Any idea where to get hisun magnets for the cut off that go on the leash?
Cheers
Anybody know the size of charging plug?
Sd20?
Thx
i am contemplating purchasing a HISUN and was told they are coming out with a new remote next month.

And no doubt Maytech will have one too 
Same company making the remotes…
Hi. I am new to this site. my friend has an e-foil hisun. after falling into water, the remote control stopped working. I checked it and tried to subtract the code with the instrument. created a new remote (clone) but it does not control the controller either. I think the problem is in the receiver. tell us whether you could have your e-foil hisun repaired? my receiver board and control panel are the same as yours. I need to know where to go next and are there any wire names in the receiver? who is responsible for what?
Hi … ik heb zojuist een nieuwe Hisun efoil binnen gekregen en getest. Eerste indruk: ik was niet blij dat er nergens een gebruiksaanwijzing of instructie bij zat maar heb nu 3 x ruim een uur gevaren en getest en alles werkt naar behoren.
Ben wel benieuwd wat de de functies zijn op de displsy van de afstandsbediening. Of ik niet gebruik wat wel gemakkelijk zou zijn. Heb veel foil ervaring dus gebruik gewoon de gas handgreep en doseer.
Ben wel huiverig hoelang het allemasl droogblijft.
Tot nu toe gaat het goed maar kan opeens afgelopen zijn als er water in het vak van de accu zou komen
. Als ik iemamd kan helpen met foto’s of info over de nieuwste Hisun efoil laat het me weten.
Hi, did anyone manage to connect the Maytech receiver and controller to the Hisun efoil?
If so do you have and guidance and maybe pictures on how to?
