I am fairly sure it would be easier to use a standard throttle with a long wire. . .but:
I have just been reading about this new type of electrically assisted bike trailer, it looks fairly standard apart from the throttle being replaced by a sensor that pushes and pulls, and adjusts speed accordingly.

My question is: "What components make that switch work?"
Could you create a switch like this that would connect to a standard controller? The trailer appears to use regen braking to slow down, so that could be an option in the design?
I have read the strings on "push trailers" and also powered trailers, but is this a new idea, and if so how do we think it might work.
