ferret said:Maybe combine a short "vertical" travel throttle with this product (or DIY somthing similar):

Avner.
We do not recommend the ReMount for multi-chainring drivetrains (it sits where your front shifter does)

fechter said:Depending on how your existing throttle is built, it may be possible to modify it for a shorter travel, either electronically or mechanically.
fechter said:but it may work to simply cut (break) the magnet in half to get half the throw.
MrDude_1 said:all you need to do is cut the magnet with a dremel and a cutoff wheel. that makes the electrical throw shorter.
fechter said:It's a little complicated to explain and not all throttles do it the same way.

Basically, one end of the magnet is south and the other end is north. Right in the middle, the flux will be zero to the hall sensor.
If you cut the magnet in half, it will still be south on one end and north on the other end and zero in the middle, just over a shorter distance.

Interesting. It shouldn't be too hard to test that.
And if it doesn't work out well, putting the two halves of the magnet back end to end would be back to status quo. (I think?)

Wouldn't the two half just stick together? North pole to south.

its not strong enough to stay together that way inside your throttle. this isnt a very strong magnet.
