I met Mike Thielvoldt at the Carnegie Hill Climb, he is an inventor and entrepreneur. His company, Jackrabbit Devices, makes a throttle control for hill climb bikes called The Trigger.
Mike's device eliminates the twist grip and replaces it with a "trigger" operated by the index finger . Mike says the trigger lets the index finger work through a natural range of motion and keeps the rider from dropping the shoulder.
His display is quite convincing. He has a handlebar mounted like a chin up bar, he then invites people to do a pull up and work the throttle at the same time. I have to admit that the Trigger works.
Mike seems like a nice guy, he is clearly proud of his invention and has an excitement about his product that's infectious. Mike's web site is www.jackrabbitdevices.com.
