The 130X thumb throttle is designed for easy installation on handlebars with a diameter of 22.5mm. No modification, cutting, or drilling is typically required. Please follow the steps below for proper installation.

2.1 Installation Steps

1. Loosen the Nut: Begin by loosening the nut on the throttle's clamp mechanism.
2. Position on Handlebar: Slide the 130X thumb throttle onto the 22.5mm diameter handlebar. Ensure it is positioned comfortably for your thumb, allowing for full range of motion. The throttle can be installed for either right or left-hand use.
3. Tighten the Nut: Securely tighten the nut to fix the throttle in place on the handlebar. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect to Controller: Connect the waterproof 3-pin male plug of the throttle to the corresponding female connector on your e-bike or scooter controller.
