SPIDER Automation | 12–72V Electric Vehicle Thumb Throttle with Integrated Horn | 23mm Handlebar Mount
The SPIDER Automation Electric Vehicle Throttle with Horn is a combined handlebar control assembly designed for compatible electric bicycles, e-rickshaws and other electric mobility vehicles. It integrates a manually operated throttle with an audible horn function, allowing the rider to provide motor speed-demand input and operate a warning signal from one handlebar-mounted unit.
The assembly is specified for 12–72V electric vehicle systems and uses a three-wire throttle interface with red for supply, black for ground and green for signal. Its specified inner mounting diameter is 23mm, while the overall assembly measures 133 × 66.3 × 64mm. The housing is identified as ABS plastic, with aluminium alloy and PVC also mentioned in the supplier’s material description.
Product Overview & Operating Principle
Electric vehicles equipped with throttle-based motor control allow the rider to request motor operation manually. When the throttle is operated, it provides an input signal to the motor controller. The controller processes this input and regulates motor operation according to its own electrical design and control settings.
This product combines the throttle control with an integrated horn. The throttle provides the manual speed-demand input, while the horn serves as an audible warning for pedestrians and nearby road users. This arrangement makes both functions accessible through a single handlebar-mounted assembly.
Technical Features & Functional Characteristics
- Combined Control Design: Integrates throttle operation and a horn function into one handlebar assembly.
- 12–72V System Compatibility: Specified for use with compatible electric vehicle systems operating within the listed voltage range.
- Three-Wire Throttle Connection: Provides separate supply, ground and signal connections for interfacing with a compatible motor controller.
- ABS Plastic Housing: Uses an ABS housing as identified in the specification, with additional material references to aluminium alloy and PVC in the product description.
- 23mm Inner Mounting Diameter: Designed for a compatible handlebar mounting arrangement with the specified inner diameter.
- Manual Motor-Demand Input: Allows the rider to control the throttle manually through hand operation.
- Integrated Horn Function: Provides an audible warning to attract attention and alert nearby road users.
- Compact Assembly Dimensions: Overall dimensions of 133 × 66.3 × 64mm support handlebar-mounted integration.
Throttle Operation & Motor Controller Interface
The throttle functions as a manual control input for a compatible electric motor controller. As the rider operates the throttle, it provides a corresponding signal to the controller, which interprets the input and adjusts motor operation according to its supported throttle interface.
The three-wire arrangement separates the supply, ground and signal connections. Correct connection is essential because the throttle’s electrical requirements and signal range must match the controller’s input specifications. The stated 12–72V system range should not be interpreted as a confirmed throttle signal voltage or as proof of compatibility with every controller.
Integrated Horn Function
The integrated horn provides an audible warning function for use in traffic and shared mobility environments. It can be used to alert pedestrians, indicate the vehicle’s approach or draw attention to a nearby hazard.
The horn is incorporated into the throttle assembly, providing convenient access without requiring a separate handlebar-mounted horn control. Its electrical connection should follow the product’s actual wiring arrangement and the vehicle’s compatible electrical system.
Wire Configuration & Connection Details
The supplier identifies the throttle’s three-wire configuration as follows:
| Wire Colour | Connection Function |
|---|---|
| Red | Supply |
| Black | Ground (GND) |
| Green | Throttle Signal |
Connect the throttle wires to the corresponding controller terminals after checking the controller’s supply and signal requirements. The three-wire description identifies the throttle interface; it does not independently establish the horn’s wiring or connector pinout. Confirm the horn connection arrangement before integrating it into the vehicle wiring.
Housing & Handlebar Mounting
The throttle assembly is designed for handlebar installation and has a specified inner mounting diameter of 23mm. Its ABS plastic housing provides the main external enclosure, while the supplier’s feature description also references aluminium alloy and PVC materials.
The overall assembly dimensions are 133 × 66.3 × 64mm, with an inner total length of 107mm. Check the handlebar diameter and available space before installation to ensure that the assembly fits correctly and does not obstruct other handlebar controls.

Installation & Operating Recommendations
For correct operation, the throttle, motor controller and horn circuit should be compatible with the vehicle’s electrical configuration. Follow the vehicle and controller wiring documentation when installing the assembly.
- Confirm System Voltage: Ensure that the vehicle’s electrical system is within the specified 12–72V range and that the throttle supply connection matches the controller’s designated supply output.
- Match the Throttle Signal: Confirm that the motor controller accepts the throttle’s signal type and operating range before connecting the signal wire.
- Follow Wire Identification: Connect red to the designated supply, black to GND and green to the throttle signal input, according to the controller documentation.
- Identify the Horn Connection: Confirm the horn’s actual wiring and electrical requirements before connecting it. Do not assume that the throttle’s three-wire configuration also defines the horn connections.
- Check Handlebar Fitment: Confirm compatibility with the specified 23mm inner mounting diameter and ensure that the assembly does not interfere with brake levers or other controls.
- Secure the Wiring: Route cables away from moving parts, sharp edges and hot surfaces, allowing sufficient slack for normal handlebar movement.
- Test Both Functions: Check throttle response and horn operation separately before normal vehicle use.
- Inspect During Maintenance: Periodically check the mounting and wiring for looseness, abrasion or damage.
