Cruise Control

[Deleted member 4366]

I didn't notice this at first. Zoom in on the last small picture in this throttle ad and look on the right hand side of the handlebar, where you can see what appears to be a nice touch-pad version of my patent cruise control. I'm guessing that when you press the "Cruise" pad the throttle signal wire is switched over from the thumb throttle and then the "+" and "-" buttons increase/decrease the amount of signal, and the bar graph at the top shows you where it is. You wouldn't need a special controller.
I'd love to get hold of one (or more)

Elastic band round the thumb lever = cruise control.

It makes it very easy to hold the throttle in one position with the heel of your hand; in other words without gripping it.
