There are three main types of electric bike throttles: thumb throttles, half twist throttles, and full twist throttles. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages and can affect your riding experience differently. According to several sources, there is no one “best” type of throttle as it largely depends on personal preference and the type of riding you plan to do. Thumb throttles are known to be the least inconvenient among all three types and tend to be more central than twist throttles (source: [Electric Ride Lab](https://www.electricridelab.com/ebikes-throttles-best-options/), [eBikeling](https://ebikeling.com/blogs/news/ebike-throttles-what-type-to-choose-ebike-conversion-kits)). However, each type of throttle has its own adamant supporters ready to defend their choice (source: [eBike School](https://www.ebikeschool.com/type-electric-bicycle-throttle-best/)).
There are three kinds of electric bike throttles. One is the thumb throttle that the rider uses his thumb. The second is the half twist throttle.
The third is the full twist throttle that covers the left side of the handlebar. All are equally best depends on your desire.
