twist throttle on 70?

[Dave223]

anyone know who makes a twist throttle for a 70? I wonder if a twist from a 50 dirt bike would work? My kid (3) has a hard time holding the thumb throttle after approx 2-3 minutes, his hand isnt big enough to hold the grip and extend his thumb. He has to hold the grip in one and the thumb throttle he pushes with the other...any ideas? I took down the throttle and cleaned it uo and lubed the cable, its easy to push, it just his hand is too small Thanks, Dave :)

motion pro probably. check dennis kirk. the 110 model would probably work.

He is 3. His thumb will get a lot stronger each month as he grows. Let him grow into it. I strongly advise against using twist throttle for a 3 year old. The natural reflex for an inexperienced rider is to let go of a thumb throttle when he's goind too fast, but they tend to forget to turn the twist grip back off when they panic. They also crack the throttle open every time they hit a bump. Get either a thumb throttle with a longer paddle, rig something up to make it longer, or buy one of those thumb throttle extenders from any catalog, where he can hold the grip and even push with the palm of his hand.
