Either an arduino reading a hall effect sensor on the chain ring, moving a servo that controls the throttle or one of those cable speedometers used on the chain ring instead of the wheel.
If space wasn't an obstacle a brake dyno could be used to transfer throttle to the carb. A dyno would probably die off when you hit a certain rpm. Just an idea.This is one of those ideas that sounds great in theory, but has a lot of flaws and obstacles in practice. Chief among which is the delay with hall effect chain rings and the assist coming in. Or the fact that even a 49cc 2 stroke is 6 or more times more powerful than a fit cyclist, which can manage about 200 to 300 watts sustained. Or the fact that many internal combustion engines don't often deliver power in a linear fashion like an electric motor.
Both of my cars have throttle cables. One is throttle body efi and the other is carburetedYou know until recently I never realized both of my cars don't have a throttle cable. Electrical sensor at the pedal. Never really thought about it before, just assumed it was a cable. 06 colorado, 15 soul.
