Scooter throttle control
Discussion
I'm not talking about proper scooters, but these awful low powered 30 mph Euro scooter things.
Can somebody explain to me why these things only appear to have three throttle operating modes.
1) Wide open throttle, when 60% of the engine power output is produced as noise. Obviously WOT is given number 1) position as this is used for the majority of the time the things being so gutless.
2) Closed throttle, rarely used and usually selected a bit too late.
3) the mode I don't understand. Any NORMAL person would use a steady part throttle if neither WOT nor closed were appropriate; but these bell end scooter riders seem to proceed with a rhythmic series of blips at roughly half second intervals.
WTF? can somebody explain No 3, because I can't. Of course it may be a simple explanation that the riders are indeed bell ends.
