  • Patent number: 11479247
    Abstract: A system and method for an electronic cruise control used to supplement electronic control units or vehicles for enhanced or additional cruise control integration. The electronic cruise control is designed to be updated easily by the end user or system to adjust the speed of a vehicle such as a motorcycle whereby the electronic cruise system sends a control signal to rotate an existing throttle to maintain the motorcycle's speed whereby the throttle grip position will always reference the speed of the motorcycle.

  • Patent number: 10000251
    Abstract: A cruise control for a vehicle having a mounted rotatable accelerator sleeve and throttle housing which is mounted to a handlebar. The cruise control mounts entirely to the accelerator sleeve and rotates in perfect unity with the throttle when it is rotated. The cruise control is mounted between the throttle housing and the rubber/plastic grip's inner end, directly onto the accelerator sleeve. When the single button of the cruise control is pressed, the cruise control engages and uses friction against the surface of the throttle housing to hold the throttle in place. The operator can force the throttle to rotate by overpowering the friction caused by the cruise control, or preferably, they can disengage the cruise control by pressing the single button again, resetting the cruise control to be engaged again by pressing the single button.
