bendmeroundthehedge Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Can anybody help me source a hand throttle with electric stop and start buttons and preferably cruise control? I would like to replace my exisiting one. I believe these throttles are not crafted to suit a specific motor, but I am quite able to make slight adjustments. My motor is an Easy 100.

indigo_miles Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 take a look at my phoos in my album I have one i made myself The handle is a mountain bike handle bar end make "Specialized" "Dirtrod Bar Ends 05" part no 2143610 price £14.99 pair the brake lever is made by "swinger" part no BX273 price £10.99 pair both purchased from J E James Chesterfield England. the start stop button is a "Horn/Starter Button" part no 594B purchesed from Motorworld Matlock England. I have seen similar in some electronic catalogues. Stop button at thumb level start at bottom only activated by your other hand. The "cruse controll" is achieved by drilling the allen bolt head side of the throttle lever holder large enough to allow the allen head of the bolt to slide in and out, clamping the lever when the thumb screw is turned. The clever bit is the spot weld on the allen head bolt. The spot weld is to stop the allen bolt from turning but still alowing the head to move with in the holder and clamp the lever when the thumb screw is tightened. The weld was achived by two spots repeated one on top of the other with a simple arc welder and a stainless steel rod. You will have to drill and file a notch offset to the allen head hole to seat it all into. the felt washers are used each side of the lever on the bolt. When using thighten the cruse controll thumb screw. It is the smoothest clamp and requires no effort, the lever can still be pulled or pushed out with the back of your fingers to increes/decrees the engine revs holding a constant speed. The rest of the manufacturing can be seen by by studying photos. good luck many thanks Miles Can anybody help me source a hand throttle with electric stop and start buttons and preferably cruise control?

Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Bendme, you have seen my parajet throtle that is actually made by parajet themselves. You could ask Simon Westmore to supply you with a price for the the throttle mechanism, you could then adapt it to suit. The good thing with the Parajet model you can start, stop and cruise all with one finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 We can supply the throttle as a seperate unit Will get a price from Gilo tomorrow. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendmeroundthehedge Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Hi Miles Thanks for the info. Looks like a really solid job there. Was in the field with parajet Simon on Saturday and liked the looks of his(throttle that is), so will probably go with that option. Thanks anyway. Bendme Itchy fingers! resulting in a double take.
