I would like to share my very positive experience with McCruise, both as a company and the first class product. I bought the system for my Honda CB500X hoping that it would allow me to keep riding with worsening arthritis in my hands and elbows. This made holding onto the throttle for more than ten minutes or so increasingly painful and forced me off bikes four years ago. Then my wife pointed out that I was only going to get older, so if I was going to get another bike, perhaps I should do it now. I was already aware of McCruise and wondered if it could help me ride further, so having bought the bike, the very first thing I did was order the McCruise system, which arrived just three days later. The instructions, with plenty of photographs, were thorough and accurate, also easy to follow. Installation took three days on and off, because I took my time and thought carefully about where to route the cabling. I hit a snag near the end though, so fired off an email to McCruise. It was Sunday so I hoped for a reply Mon/Tues. However, just a short while later, I got a call from McCruise with an offer to talk me through the problem – on a Sunday! Within 30mins the issue was resolved. I hadn’t adjusted the throttle cables correctly. Now THAT is customer service and dedication to your product. Soon afterwards I was on the road to test it out. Having tried various ‘throttle lock’ products and found them mostly useless, I had high hopes. I was blown away. The McCruise system operates flawlessly, just like in a car. I find myself using it most of the time, to give my throttle arm a break, avoid speeding tickets and simply so I don’t have to check my speed all the time. Unlike throttle locks, which cause you to slow down on uphills then overspeed down the other side, the McCruise maintains set speed just like in a car, applying throttle uphill where necessary and shutting the throttle downhill. It really is a superb riding aid, especially for older riders and those who do long distances. I highly recommend both the company and the product. 10/10 Steve S, Brisbane
