Hi
I have a Magura throttle which i misstake do not realy works well. I see that potentiometer do not work linearly, it raises, but after short movement it going lower and after this point value rises again. I have a knee in the begining. So it can be challenging to drive slowly.
Thanks to this i had a very unpleasant experience few weeks ago, when i was making a sharp left U turn on my parking space. My goal was to slowly turn around so i could park with my rear to power outlet, when suddenly bike accelerates very quickly and i hit a wall with my front tyre at 8-9 km/h. Since i was turning left it was difficult for me to release throttle, i think i am locked it in position by my hand. I tryed to activate rear brake but it was to late and braking force was to low.
I have a kill switch i can activate with my thumb, but it was too short time to react ( and distance was 2-3 m) and activate it. So now my hands are hurt a lot thanks to they take all my weight when bike crashed to a wall. I am lucky when i do not get a cracs in hand bone
So now for my question.
I will of couse change the throttle, but was thinking about if i can improve my circuit and prevent this failure in future. I am thinking if i can send 0 Ohm to controllerby short throttle signal when i apply hand or foot brake.
I have a alltrax, on this schematic i think i can short wires 2 and 3 in the throttle by using a relay which is active when brake light line is active.
Anyone who have some ideas if it is a good idea or see any problems with this setup?
