Control the speed of a motorcycle

AI Thread Summary
Controlling the speed of a petrol motorcycle up to 60 km/h is a concern raised in the discussion. The user seeks to understand if this can be achieved electrically, particularly through throttle control, and inquires about necessary sensors, including a speed sensor. However, the thread was closed due to safety concerns regarding modifications to motorcycle speed control. Participants are advised to consult local experts for guidance or consider existing products that meet their needs. Safety remains a top priority in any modifications to motorcycle systems.

TL;DR Summary
I want to control the speed of a petrol bike.
As the summary indicates I want to control the speed of a petrol bike upto 60Kmph, so that it does not go beyond that. Now my questions are can it be controlled electrically, most probably I may want to control the throttle, but how to do it? What all sensors I may require one I can think of is speed sensor. But I don't know much of how to control fuel. Please help me.

Sorry, this falls under our PF dangerous discussion rule, so this thread is now closed. The best advice we can give is to find a local expert who can Mentor you in-person. Or you can look for some standard off-the-shelf product that may do what you want. Please stay safe.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
