I use a cheap ATV thumb throttle. It sure beats the **** out of the cheap plastic twist throttle that I was supplied in my 66cc engine kit.

I bought a cheap one off ebay for $9.50, it was for a 50-150cc atv. It is metal and I was able to use the cable supplied with my twist throttle. It just took some adjusting with that bent tube the cable runs through at the throttle. Easy done though.
Found several of these as well for ATV/Snowmobiles and other "recreational" vehicles. My question with these is do you "set it and forget it" or does it require you to hold it in place?

I'll never go back to a twist throttle. The other alternative is a goped throttle lever. Super responsive and good quality.
Like these. Had no idea what a Go Ped was until I started seeing what the part was. How would you set this up with my brake lever?

With either one...would get one of the kill switches from Sick to replace the whole assembly with either one of these throttles.
