1. A drive-by-wire non-contact capacitive throttle control apparatus, comprising:

  • at least one capacitive position sensor comprising a rotatable electrode attached to a throttle lever on a handle bar placed into a mounting bracket, wherein said rotatable electrode rotates when said throttle lever rotates; and

    a stationary electrode associated with said at least one capacitive position sensor in order to detect a position of said throttle lever by measuring a capacitance between said rotatable electrode and said stationary electrode, wherein said capacitance between said rotatable electrode and said stationary electrode changes with respect to said position of said throttle lever.
