Throttle adjustment

[John trewarne]

Hi
Have an electric bike with Shimano gears
The hand throttle which would accelerate the bike without pedaling has stopped working
(The motor still kicks in when pedaling)
Wish to know how to adjust the hand throttle for the bike to cruise without pedaling

Not enough information. What kind of bike do you have? My bike has a button to turn the throttle off and on. Are you sure your throttle is on? As for cruise control, I don't know. It may be difficult depending on your bike, and what you mean by cruise. Assuming your throttle works, you could do something mechanical to hold the throttle open, but if you want to maintain a certain speed that's another matter.

It’s a twist throttle twisted backwards with right hand
Previously this would activate the bike from a standing start before pedalling
Bike is a KASA brand for road use(not a fold up)
