How to choose your controls?
The throttle transmits your request to the controller: thumb (trigger), twist (rotating grip) or rocker type, chosen according to ergonomics. Compatibility relies on the signal (often a Hall effect sensor, 0–5V) and the connector expected by the controller. The brake levers can integrate a cutoff switch that disables the motor during braking. Check the handlebar diameter for grip mounting. Well-suited controls guarantee precise dosing, good handling and safe braking.

Frequently asked questions
Thumb or twist throttle?
The thumb model (trigger) is precise and prevents accidental acceleration; the twist model offers progressive dosing like a motorcycle. It is primarily a matter of ergonomics and personal preference.
Is the throttle compatible with my controller?
Compatibility depends on the signal (often a Hall sensor 0–5V) and the connector. Most throttles follow this standard, but check the signal type and connector expected by your controller.
How to install a throttle grip?
Remove the original grip, slide the new control onto the correct handlebar diameter and tighten the locking screw. Connect the connector to the controller harness, respecting the wire markings.
