Can't even call it a throttle

I guess I'll have to stick with "accelerator"

Dunno what it'll be called when I trade in my motorbike for an electric one someday

An electric bike should be called a motorbike. Your motorbike should have been called an engine bike from the start. Motors are electric, engines use internal combustion.

I just know what I learned in College when I earned an AA in automotive repair. Motor is used interchangeably in common parlance, but that is an incorrect usage.
