foot switch/throttle for scooter motor control?

Aug 17, 2006 1 Replies

I'm wondering where to find a foot controlled throttle to put on the front of a skateboard/powerboard (or whatever you want to call it). I'll use an electric scooter motor and controller, so I guess it should be 10K ohms. I've heard of rotary tool speed controllers adapted from a sewing machine foot speed controller, but I haven't looked into that yet.



Thank you.


Have a look into the musical instrument industry - i'm sure you can get foot pedals for guitars / amps that are basically a food controlled variable resistor.
