    Default Anyone tell me how to convert to a Right foot throttle?

    I would like to make a right foot throttle for my 2021 Spyder RTL to replace my hand throttle. My right hand has carpel tunnel. Could anyone tell me how to do that? I use to have a Ryker, now I have a SpyderRTL.

    is your carpal tunnel not fixable? I had both of my. wrists fixed years ago. Should have done it sooner.

    I believe that the shop ( Michaels of Reno ???) that converted his spyder to a foot throttle used a pedal assembly off a CanAm 4 wheeler.

    The big challenge you'll be facing with this conversion is the fact the throttle is not mechanical, but electrical. You will have to come up with a way to turn the hand grip using your foot.

    My friend Jake had his throttle converted to a left foot throttle using a foot pedal from a CanAm 4-wheeler. It works perfect............

    Now we need a comm system that that he can use. NO Touch is a must.

    Try a throttle assembly from a CanAm side by side ( a Turbo XP )
