Is setting up a second throttle in parallel straight forward or will it need any other circuitry?

That is an interesting option for Magura...I have Shimano. I could just copy what the traditional Bionx system does with a reed switch sticky taped to the lever. That is a definite option. But...I like having different buttons...like a fighter pilot.

You make a strong and insistant case. I am relatively new to setting up an Electrified bicycle for distance. My only cycling experience is from cycle touring/randoneurring and even then my longest day is only 275 kilometres. In that realm hands need several different positions. They may be...

@ Dogman - This idea has the most potential of being completed by me. Thanks. I am going to move the half twist to another position and see if that is closer to what I want. Right now it is really close to the centre and I want my hands out wider.

Thanks for the schematic and help.... I think I am over my head at this point.

I will have to try cruise control...but I am finding that my hands (on longer trips in the city) locked into the one position where my throttle is not what I want...I like to have my hands out wide and out of the saddle as well. Especially at starts when getting out of the saddle provides the...

Yup...it's me. All I want it on and off. I have my CA set for 15 amps and most times don't need anything else. I have found that the three throttles I have tried (thumb, full and half twist from Grin) aren't sensitive and just do on and off anyway. A button is low profile and easy...or at...

This is very useful. The toggle sounds too dangerous for me too. I generally pedal to get going and to go directly to full throttle as I find that is what the twist does anyway. It doesn't have nearly the subtle touch of a motorcycle so I would rather just skip it altogether....Or at least see...

I have a tab throttle as well. I only ever use full throttle so I would prefer to simplify as much as possible. I want to try it and see if it would work for my needs. I am setting up the bike up for touring and distances so several positions is important so my hands don't go to sleep. So...

I am new to this forum. I couldn't find an answer to my question...so here goes I am running a 48 volt, 2807 9C and 25 am infineon controller. I have my controller limited to 15 amps. I also new to electronics. Is it possible to replace my twist throttle to an on/off push (non locking)...
