Title: Cruise Control
Post by: wkreps on August 29, 2014, 06:26:47 PM
Do any of the larger CC scooters have cruise control? You know like something you could tour in. Just wondering.

Not that I am aware of , Wayne .
You can find some to put on yourself (Kurakyn makes one , I think ) , or you can usea Cramp Buster ( I do not feel safe using one... I tried it - didn't like it ) .

I haven't seen any of the bigger ones with it built in (I think BMW may have one on their Maxi though).  However there are numerous after market ones.  I thought of getting one, however I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with one.  Perhaps to have on for a minute or two to give the hand a rest/shake/stretch, but probably for no longer than that.

I don't know of any scooter with electronic cruise control (second market has several mechanic solutions).
Most scooter manufacturers produce in and for an urban environment. And even on Eurasian highways the speedlimits are frequently changing.
Perhaps a Harley Topper has this gimmick. ;)

I agree. When I tried to use front brake, Cramp Buster caused me to roll the throttle and speed up. There was a stopped car in front of me. I wasn't  even using it at the time. It is difficult to squeeze the brake and roll off the throttle at the same time because you have to squeeze the handgrip as you brake and this causes the Cramp Buster to increase the throttle speed.

Peace and ride safe.
