Honestly I’ve never installed a twist throttle. I have refused to install on builds for others. IMO they are dangerous. I wish we didn’t sell them. But there are shorter Versions to fit the right side with shifter and brake levers. Not sure what Luna sells anymore.How do you fit it on the bar with the shifter/brake?
Or replace the brake lever?

When you have a twist shift you need a shorter grip to make room for the shifter.
Me too! But I typically didn’t move the MC on foot when it was under power. What I’ve seen dozens of customers do is dismount, it shut down power and inadvertently twist the throttle and dump the bike. I tried. twist throttle and sure enough dumped the bike moving it. YMMV, but this is the reason. I believe most eBikes have thumb throttles.- I rode motorcycles for fifty years and it's a natural feeling control,
Them is two nice bikes, Giant and Specialized, Browneye. Ditto for the KTM.
Nice shifters too, but I would get separate trigger shifters to use the ebrake levers .I like Shimano Quickfire shifters. A lot of ebrake levers are poorly made, loose and wiggly, unfortunate, but one needs those motor cutoffs. I've got some magnetic switches coming in to use with hyrdraulic levers.
A thumb throttle is purpose built and better in my view. You engage the thumb throttle momentarily to get going or to maintain momentum when navigating at lower speeds. It's ergonomic and a valuable tool.
I think FeliZ and other motorcycle guys will remember similar products introduced a decade ago. Some bright fellas with 3D printers have re-marketed the design to eBikes. Your find looks nice. I used them on my Vespa GTS. It remains a twist throttle and I continue to have safety concerns. It remains a slow seller compared to thumb throttles. I Still think there’s good reason it’s not seen wider acceptance by eBike brands, except from aftermarket sources and in kits.twist-to-thumb throttle adapter
I'm going to search for some info on the PAS sensors - don't understand why they provide two versions, nor if I need a special tool to remove crank arms to fit the sendsor. Appreciate any feedback here.
Kit finally arrived today...
