How about adding some resistance (making it physically harder to twist, not electrical resistance) on your current twist throttle? I'm thinking that making it a little harder to twist will reduce that twitchiness, similar to how the steering control works on a Spektrum transmitter.
What about a thumb-style switch? While shopping for e-bikes, thumb and twist seem to be two main options. I know from riding my mountain bike (pedal only, no assist), I greatly prefer thumb gear changing exactly for the reason you state.
After thinking a bit more, do you think that adding more than 90* of twist action will cause excessive wrist articulation making it even harder to control?
