Abstract

A throttle control for a motorcycle comprises an electromagnet mounted adjacent to a throttle tube on a handle bar of the motorcycle. The throttle tube includes a radial flange on one end that is configured to define at least one slot. An armature plate is positioned between the electromagnet and the radial flange and is configured to define at least one tab that registers with the slot in the radial flange of the throttle tube. The armature plate is moveable between a first position in contact with the electromagnet and a second position spaced from the electromagnet while the tab remains within the slot. When the electromagnet is energized, the armature plate frictionally contacts the electromagnet and fixes the radial position of the throttle tube.
