Using a throttle allows you to power the bike without pedalling, by simply twisting
or pushing it to apply power. Without one, the Kit is purely a pedal-assist system.
Throttles must be used off-road or on private land, as in the UK and EU, they aren’t
road-legal. We recommend checking your local laws.
Our throttle is compatible with all Swytch Kits and can be simply fitted by sliding
onto your handlebars. They can be easily added or removed at any time. Throttles are
compatible with most standard handlebars, but unfortunately, they won’t fit on drop
bars.
