RIDE BY WIRE TECHNOLOGY

Ride by Wire is a technology which is most probably used in four wheelers nowadays in two-wheelers too.

In a normal bike {with cable} we come to see that the accelerator and the throttle body are interconnected by means of the cable. when we twist the accelerator the cable connected to throttle body tends to pull the actuator of the throttle body to move upward, due to this too and fro motion the blade/valve inside the throttle body tends to open and close in order inflow of oxygen for the engine to burn the fuel.If you twist accelerator more the oxygen enters will be more thus more combustion takes place.

In case of Ride by Wire, it acts when there is an absence of mechanical linkage between throttle and accelerator. The wire from the accelerator is connected to the sensors instead the throttle which detects the input of twisting of conventional wire send the signal electronically to the Engine control motor {ECM} which actuates the speed and the opening of the valve inside the throttle body again according to the speed the position sensors present opposite to the ECM detects the position of the valve and correct it according to the given input and speed.

This technology was mainly introduced when the traction control system was introduced lets see what is TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, on very high powerful motorcycle when the throttle is completely open the more torque is created mainly at rear wheel due to which we can lose the traction and the blade or valves start to spin over 1 inch then the signal is sent to computer which immediately closes the throttle according to the speed even when the conventional throttle{accelerator} is open too much as same this technology is used for various modes.

The similar technology used in four wheeler is called Throttle by wire technology.

Throttle blipping during changing of gear will cause some lag while in case of normal cable it doesn't.

Reliability of the normal common cable is more when compared to that of  Ride by Wire.

Actually the ride by wire has come from AVIATION, i.e when an aeroplane becomes more and more powerful, the manufacturer realised although pilot have well trained, their might be a situation where the pilot may give too much of input on the throttle which may cause some incident, In order to manage this problem they took back some functioning and placed over  a computer which senses the input and opens the throttle according to suitability of the speed, altitude, working of engine, pitch, nose, rolling etc
