I have connected mine to a switch on the handlebars. I thought it might be a more fuel efficient mode. Anyway, my impressions of the switch have already been posted on this site but let me say again. With the switch connected to ground the motor hesitates on acceleration until it gets at least to midrange. Also, the gas mileage is worse than having it disconnected. I did street miles with it both ways and tried to economize to obtain max fuel economy. Fuel mileage was much worse with it connected and that I just don't understand.
Oh, and re: turning the switch on and off. I asked that question and did not receive an answer so that was one of my main reasons fore using the switch.
You can just switch back and forth while riding. The most noticeable differences occur at less than 1/2 throttle. At about 1/4 throttle you can actually hear and feel the motor slow down when you switch to the connected mode.
