No, the Shuttle doesn’t have a throttle. Instead, it’s a pedal-assist style eMTB. In other words, the Shuttle’s 250-watt electric drive unit assists your own pedaling effort. You can choose between three different pedal-assisting power modes while riding (Eco, Trail, and Boost) and you can change from one to the other by using a thumb shifter that’s a lot like a typical gear shifter.
