I occasionally get a cramp in my right hand when using my half grip twist throttle. As a remedy, I built this small control box as an alternate way to adjust speed. In doing some research, I discovered a 3 wire hall effect throttle can be emulated with a variable resistor. I wired the control box as shown:
I mounted the box on the left side near the display so it can be operated without taking my hands off the bars. It could be mounted almost anywhere however:
I used a triple pole double throw switch with a center off position. That way, I can change between the OEM throttle operation and the rotary control. The center position is off. The brake motor cut off and PAS systems are unaffected.
The 3 wire hall effect throttle is fairly standard in the industry and this idea should work on many different bikes.
Some soldering skills are required for the project since it requires cutting & splicing the throttle cable. The parts are all readily available from Amazon and I can provide a list if anyone is interested.
