Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual control throttle system for actuating rescue, safety, recreational, and all-terrain vehicles. The throttle system has two individual throttle cables attached to a handlebar and are independently controlled by a corresponding throttle control. The cables are attached to a carburetor having slots/connectors for connecting the throttles cables. Each throttle cable system can be independently used for actuating a vehicle and enables users to actuate the opposite throttle should the first throttle and/or cable malfunction, ensuring the vehicle remains operational and therefore, prevents rescue situations from taking additional time due to malfunctioning rescue, safety, and recreational vehicles. The cables can be secured to a central plate and yoke for vehicles whose steering unit can rotate 360 degrees.
