FAQs
wILL THE FX THROTTLE WORK ON MY BIKE?
Currently, we have two versions of the FX Throttle.
The plug and play option works on stock Surron bikes, from Segway x160 and x260’s up through the Light Bee. This version can be used on programmable controllers, but also works for plug and play on Surron bikes (except the Ultra Bee), as the voltage output is set to what the stock Surron controller expects.
The other version of the FX Throttle is meant to work specifically with aftermarket controllers, since they have programmable throttle calibration. This allows you to get the most resolution and use the full potential of the FX Throttle. The voltage output range is wider, and not meant for stock Surrons (except for the Ultra Bee, on which this version works). Some examples of compatible controllers include EBMX, ASI / BAC, TORP, VENTUS, KO, and any VESC-based controller.
We are also working on setups for Talaria, E-Ride, and Altis Sigma bikes - stay tuned for more info on those applications! Like and follow our IG, TikTok, or Facebook pages to stay up to date on those!
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.
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 about a half-twist throttle option?
Soon there will be both a half-twist option as well as a thumb-lever operated version, both using the same throttle body and internals as the current twist version.
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.
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.
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!
