Claim Text:
1. A throttle twist grip arranged on a handlebar tube of a vehicle and intended for actuating an actuator which determines a fuel supply for an internal combustion engine of the vehicle, with the throttle twist grip comprising: a restoring spring having a first engagement section and a second engagement section opposite to the first engagement section; a grip housing adapted to be fixed to the handlebar tube; a handlebar grip having an internal diameter adapted to be rotatably received on the handlebar tube, with the handlebar grip including a spring engagement section connected to and extending from the internal diameter and rotatable with the internal diameter, with the restoring spring interconnecting the handlebar grip and the handlebar tube, with the handlebar grip comprising a sensor holding section integrally formed with and extending outwardly of the handlebar grip and rotatable relative to the grip housing, with the sensor holding section rotatably received on the grip housing for mounting the handlebar grip on the handlebar tube to be rotatable about an axis of the handlebar tube, with a recess extending parallel to and spaced from the axis of the handlebar tube, with the spring engagement section extending radially relative to the axis of the handlebar tube from the internal diameter; and a sensor held in the sensor holding section and detecting a rotational position of the handlebar grip relative to the grip housing and the handlebar tube, with the restoring spring spaced from the sensor holding section in a direction parallel to the axis, with the restoring spring located inside the handlebar grip, with the first engagement section fixed relative to the handlebar grip and the second engagement section fixed relative to the handlebar tube, with one of the first and second engagement sections comprising a tang extending parallel to and spaced from the axis of the handlebar tube and having a size of a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the handlebar tube, with the recess having a size of a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the handlebar less than a size of a cross section of the internal diameter of the handlebar grip perpendicular to the axis of the handlebar, with the tang slideably received in and rotatable with the recess about the axis of the handlebar tube, with the other of the first and second engagement sections located intermediate the sensor and the one of the first and second engagement sections.
