Does the Mini-Max Have a Throttle?

Yes. The twist grip throttle is located on the right handle. A very handy use of the throttle feature is using it to get strarted from a stop at, say, an intersection where you need to proceed quickly. The motor power will propell the MiniMax E-bike forward allowing you to quickly gain balance and stability without necessarily having to pedal. It is also nice for leisurely crusing without having to pedal. It can be turned off /on via adjacent flip switch.
