contols don't work

I installed a new motor and new contactor now the drive motor does not work with the handle controls It works fine if I press the contactors. Any help would be much appreciated specially since paying that hefty price for a new motor.
thanks in advance

The brake switch is right there beside the new motor you replaced did you check it?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
