You do get a very fast delivery for that price though.
Why? Why not?

If you like that take a look at this, http://www.scottoiler.com/uk/products/crampbuster.html it lets you rest your hand while still actively controlling acceleration, apparently (not got one yet) :dry:

Re: THROTTLE MATE Cuise control
Used one from Guatemala through to Montana - and it really worked well, easy to use and saved my ailing hands - then it snapped! Seems like there is a bit of a trend on the snapping front. Might well buy another one - but only perhaps if it was cheaper - or with a fix to stop them snapping!
The 'rocker' type - which I've used a lot in the past - are not bad, but not as good as the throttle mate, which allows you to completely release the handlebar, allowing for arm and shoulder flexing (as well as your digits). But that said, I've never had a throttle rocker snap on me!

Re: THROTTLE MATE Cuise control
Mine and my husband's throttle mate snapped as well with in a few days of each other hmy:
But for a tenner each I bought 3 more, got one for my other bike as well B) Wouldn't be without one now.
We both have heated grips, not sure if this aided the snapping

Regarding the 'snapping' problem. Do people remove them often? Hense pulling it apart to get off and on -equals-stress fractures on the bendy bit.Bonniebird wrote:Mine and my husband's throttle mate snapped as well with in a few days of each other hmy:

I've got one on each of my bikes and they stay put. Not had one break.
Being as I did the review of the throttlemate I'd be interested as to why some break and others don't.

Re: THROTTLE MATE Cuise control
PJ - Mine wasn't removed once. Just during normal operation one day, it broke off! It had been getting quite a bit of use though - but it should be designed for that. But aside from the snapping problem, they are a great bit of kit.Peejay wrote:Regarding the 'snapping' problem. Do people remove them often?
