Bought a thumb throttle for my Swytch bike which works great HOWEVER a had two problems others considering purchasing may want to note. Firstly, if you have "trigger gear shifters" positioning the throttle can become problematic and the only option I had was to change the logical sequence and put it first (left to right). If I had it in the middle or on the right side, the gear triggers wouldn't operate correctly (in any position). Second issue was my mistake, I wanted to test the throttle first before installing it so I connected the cable and tried it out by holding it my hand. Great, it works! Then I tried to disconnect the cable so I could install it on the handle bar. I just could not get the cable apart without excessive force. In the end I had to take the whole battery cradle off the bike (the thumb cradle still attached) so I could have enough cable length to get the throttle onto the handle bar. Perhaps Swytch could add some installation notes/tips to help potential buyers.
