FAQs
wILL THE FX THROTTLE WORK ON MY BIKE?
The FX Twist Throttle will work on any ebike or emoto…the only question is which connector your bike uses. We can supply connectors for:
1 ) Surron (default configuration)
2 ) Talaria (MX4/5/xxx)
3 ) Altis Sigma / Ventus
4 ) Super 73 (3-pin yellow / orange)
For bikes with extra buttons on their throttles, see the notes below. You can also solder the three wires from the FX directly to your controller harness if your connector isn’t listed.
My stock throttle has extra buttons, and the FX has no buttons. What can I do?
There are options for adding controls back to your handlebar, whether you have 1-3 buttons on your throttle. You can choose the appropriate attachment based on how many buttons you need to replace. For instance, some bikes have a headlight and start button on the throttle - so you’d want to grab a two-button handlebar attachment and solder those connections to the wires coming from the controller. Note that this will take some experimentation and research on your part to determine the correct wiring, as well as skills to solder and seal the connections properly.
Talarias and Eride Pro’s have extra buttons on their stock throttles. The functionality of these can be reclaimed by adding an attachment with the same number of buttons.
For Talarias, we offer a start button bypass option so that the bike turns on and is ready to ride when the NFC or power button is turned on.
You can view these handlebar mounted button options here on Amazon.
How tough is the fx throttle?
We designed the FX Throttle to be not only beautiful, but functional and durable as well. Because it’s made from billet CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum, it doesn’t break like the plastic stock throttles, or the aftermarket throttles like the Magura or Domino. In short, the FX Throttle is nearly bulletproof - we haven’t had one break yet.
It’s extremely important to also install bar ends on your handlebars…this protects the throttle in the event of a crash or tipover, and is 100% necessary. Install bar ends and your throttle will last forever.
Replacement parts for the FX Throttle will be readily available for purchase, in case you want to get a new part of the assembly - without needing to buy an entirely new unit.
what grips do I need to use?
The same grips that work with any other e-bike twist throttle work with the FX Throttle. Namely, a 7/8” standard grip for the left side of your handlebars, and a 1” inner diameter grip to fit over the throttle tube of the FX Throttle. Grip glue helps on smooth handlebars and is recommended.
Cut the ends off of soft grips like ODI to allow the bar ends (see above) to fit in and protect the throttle tube.
Is it waterproof?
All of the electronics are sealed inside, and impervious to moisture. The FX Throttle has an IP66 rating, so you’ll be fine in anything short of full immersion in water for an extended period. And now with the updated stainless steel bearing, there is less chance of corosion.
is it easy to maintain?
One of the core strengths of the FX Throttle is it’s simplicity. Every part can be disassembled and cleaned with ease. It’s likely one of the simplest parts on the bike to work on. And we have maintenance videos here on the site to guide you along any task that requires doing!
is there a warranty?
Of course! Each FX Throttle comes with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. If any problems arise, we’ll take care of you! Even if you damage your throttle in a crash, we can repair it (usually free of charge) and get it back to you quickly.
