Been searching....looking for people that have and like/dislike the thumb type or brake lever throttles on their bikes.
I've been looking at the BMX 'Sinz' brake lever for a throttle. (two finger/spring loaded)
Thanks!

I have a brake lever for the throttle on my trike, and it works well. But I'm getting a little arthritis in the fingers, so I'm planning to change to a thumb lever off a snow machine. It doesn't look like it will be any problem.
 
Anyone use a Thumb throttle like this?

Been searching for a thumb throttle....A few different vendors have these on eBay. Was wondering if anyone has used it.
Thanks!

nice looking little throttle control.

I use thumbshifters... friction type, not indexed.
with a little bit of friction, it works like cruise control.....set it & forget it !!
 
As soon as i saw the stock throttle and how it was made and worked it went straight into the bin! It was the worst POS excuse for a throttle lol!

Now I use a friction shifter with the "ratchet" removed so its super smooth - its adjusted to spring back on releasing instead of cruse control style.
