- Welcome back to VoroMotors, as always. For this week's video AJ is looking at electric scooter throttles and analyzing what makes each one of them different from the others. Here at Voro Motors, we have finger throttles, thumb throttles, and twist throttles that can all be swapped onto your EMOVE Cruiser or EMOVE Touring. Which is made possible thanks to our plug and play throttle system. So we've got plenty of styles of throttles to talk about and plenty of experience to consider. This video will help you find out what throttle is best for you.

Hi AJ,
Being a lifelong motorcyclist (and 'older' rider), I've switched to the twist throttle.
The only issue I have with the twist throttle is that for some reason it comes designed without the flange that exists on the OEM (standard) grip. I do like/prefer the look and comfort of the original grip... so much so that I've decided to keep the original grip on the left handlebar even though I have the twist throttle on the right.
Also, the original grip style with the flange is much more comfortable as you can rest the heel of the hand on the flange and - especially - if the cruise control is switched off it's easy and comfortable to maintain revs resting on the flange in this way... just like we do on motorbikes.
It would be great if the twist throttle could be redesigned to - basically - be the look and comfort of the original grips but with the function of a twist-throttle.
Hi.. I also got the twist throttle. but while
Practicing i noticed sometimes the scooter accelerates suddenly while walking the scooter if your hand on the throttle
Moves.. same while getting down the scooter even after slowing it down a lot, if the hand moves on the throttle it suddenly accelerates while you are getting down the deck.. Did you see the same issue?
Personally, I keep cruse control off, because I like to gauge distance from cars in front of my ride.
I do have the trigger throttle almost in the same place that the break levers were in. And it works very well 😊.
Great video AJ
I'm glad you made a whole video on this. The finger throttle is the worst throttle I've ever had to use. It's so sensitive to speed changes and so awkward to use. It's pretty much a safety hazard. I have no idea how it became the standard.
agreed. thumb like Rion should be the standard
As an avid motorcyclist I MUCH prefer the twist throttle. The trigger throttle is down right dangerous as it can be confused with the brake in a panic situation which happened to me a couple of times until I forced myself to ride with my middle finger on the brake lever all the time which wasn’t very comfortable. Pansies may be fine with the trigger throttle but for aggressive riders I definitely recommend the twist.
As a petrol scooter rider, I saw an article regarding your next high end cruiser nearing 55mph? How exciting!
You would do brilliant job conducting an orchestra, Great video interesting, i am still smiling
I got my EMOVE Cruiser a week ago, so it's been tha finger throttle from day 1.
But I just can't see myself keeping it because I just see tha TWIST throttle as a "G" look 😎 💯 🔥
Sweet video you guys! I am loving the twist throttle on my emove cruiser, can't wait to show it off in some videos.
Question: does the twist throttle work on all the scooters?
EDIT: nvm I read the description in the video, and it does work! Noice!
I've asked my dealer of the Cruiser to bring out the twist throttle so I can try it and he said yes. So when my scooter is delivered next week, he'll bring a second with a twist throttle fitted so I can try it out. I have small hands and have ridden farm bikes before so a twist throttle feels more natural than the stock finger throttle.
I rented a Unagi last summer and fell in love with escooters. I'm buying a crusher soon with thumb throttle because I really liked the one on the unagi and it's all I really know. Great video
Thanks! We try to make our videos as informative and entertaining as possible!
Just trying to pick a color
One "minus" of twist throttles that you didn't mention occurs if you forget to turn the motor off before walking or moving your scooter. It's easy to activate the throttle by accident and then the scooter shoots out of your hands or drags you. I was nearly dragged into traffic when I forgot to turn the power off before trying to walk a moped e-bike. Overall I still like the twist throttle, it's comfortable to use on long rides and easy to make fine adjustments to your speed.
There is no start protection when the scooter isn't moving, is there? Even the dumbest rental scooters has it. How stupid!
Going to your p settings and P7 is takeoff speed set it change it from 0 to 1 cuts the acceleration in half on bad roads like I have often times I hit potholes that make my thumb's slip off of the throttle and it clicks back pretty hard can't be good for it
@@ldxyz-s1e it does have that just have to do research is all P4 is the kick start setting it won't go unless your pushing it at 5mph which is a perfect for kick off speed shouldn't engage not to mention the P7 setting is take off acceleration set it to 1 and you halve the speed it accelerates people are way too quick to just put something down instead of doing research
Thumb throttle, but it needs to be adjusted to be stiffer, making it resistant to bumps, while also not too stiff that it gets tiring on long trips.
I've ridden a different scooter with a thumb throttle that was executed a bit differently, it was a tab on a ring that wrapped around the handlebar, instead of a lever. So it was like a hybrid of a twist & thumb throttle, which I really liked.
Yeah, that kind of thumb throttle is expected. I'm surprised they did this odd craft.
Very helpful review. I wish I saw it prior to using the finger throttle. It can get frustrating, it’s also fragile” as mentioned. At least their inexpensive .
I just got mesmerized by the hand movement damn i got hypnotized i still don't know how to install the acceleration controllers.
Hi mate, thanks for showing these different throttles. I have a Wolf warrior with the LT01 display. Can a Eye3 controller plug in and then play? Thanks
yes, How to install the alarm in the emove cruiser scooter
How to install the alarm in the emove cruiser scooter?
I own all three, For me the thumb throttle is best, I have small hands and when needing to brake in an emergency the trigger throttle takes the longest to release the throttle and hit the brake, The twist throttle you can sometime accidentally twist the throttle when reaching for the brake, not good when you're trying to brake, I've also noticed when turning i can accidently twist the throttle as i lean, again not great to be accelerating when trying to turn, With the thumb throttle once you release it your hand is clear of all parts of the throttle.
With the thumb throttle i would suggest putting the throttle on the other side of the display, (i have grips, brake lever, display, thumb throttle) if you have it next to the brake lever it feels to close and your thumb goes into an un-natural position, Also it can hit the brake lever and not alllow full acceleration if it's to close to the grips, I have a handlebar extension and have moved the ignition switch on to the extension creating more room for thumb throttle, The handlebar is too cramped for the thumb throttle if you still want to be able to fold the handlebars. On the extension i have the ignition switch, extra lighting and a mirror.
Thanks. Can you send a pic of your handle bar configuration?
Sounds a lot like how mine is rigged. Good job! on the reconfiguration and plz send a pic provides better visual for other scooter enthusiasts. ✌🏿
I agree thumb is definitely the way to go on zero 10 omg huge difference
hay question can a twist throttle and all necessary components be moved to the left hand side?
Hey do you know if any of these are compatible with the nandrobot D6+ I really want to get a thumb throttle
how do i fix the wolf king throttle modulation? aftermarket solution would any other throttle work?
On the thumb throttle did the dead zone problem esg pointed out get fixed?
@VoroMotors A downwards thumb throttle (like most rental scooters/entry level scooters) would be another nice option and a half throttle similar to what Fiido uses on their Fiido Q1S.
Can you do a tutorial on the LCD displays shown with the twist throttle. I want to know how to get my scooter up to it’s max power.
help me out i need a left handed speed controller for a apollo ghost were could i find one
How do you adjust the position of the thumb throttle? I just got my scooter, so I haven’t looked into it too deeply. Do I have to unscrew the entire assembly to simply adjust the position?
Can any of these go kn a reid e4 plus electric scooter??? I need one reid won't help no Support
If I buy twist throttle from your website will work on all scooters? My scooter is 52 volt btw.
Does anyone know to fix this issue where the throttle goes down put doesn’t move up after I lift my finger off of it
Can you point me to a helpful vid/site for e10 fault on a mantis. Thanks (hopefully)
I’d like to try a twist throttle sooner than later. I started out not caring for the trigger throttle. If you have decent size hands, it’s not hard to use index finger on throttle with middle finger (ring and/or both works too) close to brake lever. It took a little trial and error to position my 1 finger brake lever and throttle just right, but eventually it was easy to instantly accel or brake, with the added benefit of using my brake finger to control speed of trigger pull or block unintentional throttle movement while getting a little aggressive (it’s a modified Vsett 10+)
Will it work on the Vsett models?
Thank you for explaining the difference between the throttles. I just got my new electric scooter last week. I did order the twist throttle as an accessory. I have not installed it. I wanted to get a feel for the scooter before I made changes. I am going to like the twist throttle for the reason you stated. I will be turning off the cruise control. It will be easy to release the twist throttle and squeeze the brakes. With finger throttle, you have to remember to release the finger throttle before applying the brakes. You got to turn off the gas before you apply the brakes! I was lucky I was not going fast when I learned that lesson. I am not going to be going fast. There are too many homes and businesses driveways along my desired paths. I want to go a little bit faster than walking. My favorite coffee place is within two blocks with limited car parking. There is a lot within 2 miles. I often joke my life revolves around 5 miles. I am going to be ahead of the game with all the new apartments car traffic is going to be a nightmare. In my neighborhood, we are into supporting the local community (there are no local e-bike shops) and all that good stuff. I am going to be on the cutting edge of local transportation!
Thanks for that comment, Dave! We're excited for the beginning of your journey in the world of e-scooters!
@@VoroMotors I have a great question for you, I am interested in a twist throttle that starts you off slow, because I notice that all the cheap $15 twist throttles that I a have used, knock you off the saddle as soon as you barley turn it to its minimum activation point, I am looking for a throttle that starts off very slow and gradually starts accelerating to full speed. Please refer me to one either through amazon link or a model and model number, I will subscribe to your channel upon you response. thanks
Can you help me I got the throttle sign on my display it was working and suddenly stopped
Can I connect any other brands to my Ultron x3
Are there any finger throttles WITHOUT the screen attached, Preferably 3 Pin?
Trigger throttle allows a safer secure more controlled ride with handling n maneuvering especially on powerful scooters n or when on bumps surfaces. Wrapping ur thumb around bar n keeping it there for gripping feels more natural to better keep control of ur steering
hey man
quick question: can i replace the trigger finger controller with the thumb finger controller like Kugoo Booster has?
thanks!
The answer is yes! With both the EMOVE Cruiser and Touring, you have the option of using a finger throttle, a thumb throttle, or twist throttle. They're all plug-and-play so swapping between the different throttles is easy!
What is the brand and model of thumb throttle?
I've used the finger throttle for the past 10 months.. I'm tired of my hand feeling sore.. I'm going to try the half twist throttle on my next scooter.
lol who gets a sore hand feeling??? 😅😅
@@dudeimgeorge sore thumb he meant,haha
@@jerzim205 still lol that's legit embarrassing
I feel more comfortable with twist throttle. Also i can break quicker as my other fingers r resting near the brakes. Also less probe to finger injuries
I need some brake pads and other bits for hit.wey scooter please could you send me the link so I could order them please thank you for the way scooter with the red calipers and love your videos to
I use a thumb throttle. I'm curious about the military grade RION Curve throttle 🤷♂️
the best throttle is Rion
Can you use the twist throttle for kugoo m4
Did you find out ??
TH-cam have got something wrong with the Voromotor channel...
I can’t switch on for “All” notifications and the reason TH-cam give is “This action is turned off for content that is made for children”.
So, it seems I’m a 61 year old kid! 🥴
You need to have a word with them.
Can you try it again? Should be good now!
I prefer thumb throttle because I can keep the other fingers firmly on the bar and only move thumb
Of couse twist throttle same is motorcycle which I've already got used to
I submitted a negative review of the finger throttle, it never made it to the VM website, they only publish good reviews. The finger throttle is dangerous, when I went to squeeze my right brake lever, I hit the finger throttle by mistake and accelerated rather than slowed down. Could be a bad situation in an emergency stop. So I order the thumb throttle, easy install via their video. I have an average size hand, although I like the thumb throttle better, my thumb hits the thumb part of the throttle in the wrong place, so I have to move my hand partly off the handle bar to situate the thumb. It was clearly an afterthought by VM. Also the “P” menu is different. In order to elect an option after scrolling it works differently than the basic “P” menu with the finger throttle. I chatted with CS on the matter and they sent me the instructions for the basic menu, I had to figure it out by trial and error. I don’t have the basic display anymore, but I found out again, thru trial and error when the scooter goes on cruise control, there is some item that comes on the display at the 9 o’clock position that tells you are in cruise control, no where did I see that in the directions. I like the scooter very much and a big upgrade from my former Segway ninebot.
Does every throtle work on every scooter?
No, throttles are configured to work with specific systems. You can shop by the model to determine which throttles are compatible.
I had built a 2000W ebike and it had cruise control. I loved the idea... Mostly because I wanted to drive it "no hands" on wide roads xD Unfortunately, the frame/front forks weren't very solid (i think that that was the issue...) and if I left the handlebars, the thing wabbled like crazy before totally losing control... So... Cruise control didn't fullfil my wishes xD
Right now I own a Laotie Ti30. Nice 'little" scooter... 40KG they say... It also has cruise control and I'm really tempted to use it... But can i drive it no hands is my main question 😂
trigger throttle is not safe too close to the front brake motion, I can see many pulling on throttle in a panic situation instead of the front brakes,im gonna change mine i dont like the trigger throttle.
1 Standard on my Xiaomi 1s
1 finger on my vision9a
I use a thumb throttle because it came with the scooter and I can't change it. XD
I hope I can get the thumb too
the eye controller sucks on the wolf king it is on or off nothing really good about it. unless i’m in one wheel drive it is not a good controller at all just on or off ridiculous! there must be anything better than the eye throttle on the king way way too sensitive.

Easy,
Best: twist
Second best: thumb
Cheapest, nastiest useless trash: finger.
The music is so annoying. Why do people insist on having loud music playing during an instructional video?
I’m really not a fan of twist throttles and thumb

I know, I know. The best throttles DONT come from Voro Motors because they'll break, malfunction or be all around pieces of junk just like my Emove Touring & Voro will offer me 1 thing, a bill for a new part 👎
Omg you gesticulate to much.
It was so distracting. Give bro a fidget spinner or something.
This guy is the kind of millennial mutant that would drop off his scooter at valet parking
youre as bad as Scotty Kilmer hah ha !
Please stop waving your hands
Very distracting I agree. It is important to move them but balance is important. Informative video, regardless 💯
