This feature has been specifically introduced to enable the rider to have a non-distracting/non-intrusive indication of an impending change between Economy zone cruising and Power zone cruising. The entire concept is based on Feel.
Among the most sensitive parts for a Scooter rider, his/her hands are the most sensitive.

The changes in effort required to open the throttle can also be felt very sensitively. This forms the basis for the Ride Control Switch

Advantages of the Ride Control Switch

Once enabled, the throttle feel/force felt at the throttle will very immediately inform the Rider that he is about to transgress the Fuel Economy zone. He does not have to look at the speedo console for speeds/rpms to be maintained, lights to glow or audible alarms to be heard.

There is absolutely no safety issue, as there are no visual or audible distractions like the other systems. The rider can concentrate on the road/traffic conditions ahead and modulate the throttle, instead of his attention getting diverted.

Being very simple and robust in design, there is virtually no chances of failure and it requires almost no maintenance.
