The thyristor member  24  can be Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET). The thyristor member  24  and the current detection member  25  are connected to the heating pad  1  by a wire  28  of the current detection member  25 . The circuit board  21  further has a micro-processing device  26  connected thereto which is connected with the thyristor member  24  and the voltage reduction member  23 . The micro-processing device  26  is further connected to a circuit board  31  of a switch  3  by a wire  28 . The wire  28  connected between the controller  2  and the switch  3 , and the wire  28  connected between the controller  2  and the heating pad  1  are located in the suit  4 . The circuit board  21  of the controller  2  has at least one power output member  27  which is connected to the power input member  22 . 
         [0020]    The switch  3  is located separated from the controller  2  and connected to the sleeve, front chest portion or the lower portion of the suit  4 . The circuit board  31  of the switch  3  has a temperature regulation button  32  and a temperature display member  33  connected thereto. The temperature regulation button  32  and the temperature display member  33  are connected to the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2  by the circuit board  31  of the switch  3 . The temperature display member  33  can be a liquid crystal display, digital tubes, bar index lights or multiple light emitters which changes colors according the temperature. 
         [0021]    When in use, the current input member  22  of the controller  2  is connected with the battery of the motorcycle, and the temperature regulation button  32  is connected to the sleeve, front chest portion or the lower portion of the suit  4 . By pressing the temperature regulation button  32  for 2-3 seconds, the circuit board  31  is activated and sends the long-pressing signal to the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2  via the wire  28 . The micro-processing device  26  activates the thyristor member  24  so that the current flows to the heating pad  1  along the wire  28  via the thyristor member  24  so that the heating pad  1  transfers the electric energy into heat energy to warm the user&#39;s body. 
         [0022]    When the user presses the temperature regulation button  32  to drive the micro-processing device  26  to activate the thyristor member  24 , the micro-processing device  26  sends a signal to the temperature display member  33  of the switch  3  via the wire  28  to show that the thyristor member  24  is opened. When the user wants to adjust the temperature of the heating pad  1 , the temperature regulation button  32  is pressed for 1-2 seconds, the circuit board  31  is activated and sends the short-pressing signal to the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2  via the wire  28 . The micro-processing device  26  activates the thyristor member  24  to adjust the flow of the current passing therethrough so as to achieve the adjustment to the heating pad  1 . In the meanwhile, the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2  sends a signal that the thyristor member  24  is adjusted via the wire  28  to the temperature display member  33  of the switch  3 . Along with the times that the user presses the temperature regulation button  32  in short manner, the thyristor member  24  is active to change the current passing therethrough, such that the heating pad  1  changes the heat it generates. The change is sent as a feedback to the temperature display member  33  of the switch  3  so that the temperature display member  33  displays the change of the temperature. 
         [0023]    When the user wants to stop the operation of the heating pad  1 , he or she simply presses the temperature regulation button  32  in long-pressing manner, the circuit board  31  and the wire  28  send the long-pressing signal to the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2 . The micro-processing device  26  then closes the thyristor member  24  to stop the current from passing through the heating pad  1  via the thyristor member  24  and the wire  28 . In the meanwhile, the micro-processing device  26  of the controller  2  sends a signal that the thyristor member  24  is closed is sent to the switch  3  and the status is displayed by shutting off the temperature display member  33  of the switch  3 . Therefore, the user is acknowledged that the status of the heating pad  1 .
