Had to use it like that. Quick setup to run 2 motors on my fatbike and too cold to do something more.elegant in the garage Only had throttle for the front motor and it was always needed to get rolling in snow,, I felt it worked fine,

Here's another one of mine where it looks too far from the grips, but works fine.


But you can't go wrong with MNebiker's advice. A Shimano trigger shifter fits well with any brake lever. Then go with a thumb throttle and cut down the grip. Or use a half twist throttle and they come with a short grip.
