The KS can be used in cars with an automatic transmission or automatic clutch by drivers with lack of mobility to the lower limbs.
It transfers the accelerator control from the pedal to the steering wheel, allowing you to accelerate with one or both hands.

This product is developped and projected specifically for the car model in that It will be installed.
In this way it fully respects the original car design, keeps the good looking of the passenger compartment and it is very comfortable to be used.

The ring is placed on the original steering wheel. To accelerate, just press down the ring towards the steering wheel.

The new feature of this handcontrol is that you can easely remove the ring from the steering wheel!

In this way the driver has more space on the steering wheel when he needs, for example, to handle a folded wheelchair.

This feasture also avoids obstructing drivers who will not be using the hand-control.

 


The quick release on the steering wheel has been designed to allow the ring to be fitted and taken away without being damaged.
All the car specifics stay as original and are as safe as the manufacturer requires.

Moreover, the KS gives you the opportunity, by pressing one button on the brake lever, to use the "power saved acceleration mode" : this means that you can use only a part of the engine power, without reducing the stroke of the accelerator ring.

The KS is available in the interface or in the "by motor" version.

In the interface version the use of the accelerator pedal can be restored at any moment by pressing a switch placed on the dashboard, in the "by motor" one the original accelerator pedal stays always active.

In both versions the device is provided with a safety system that makes the acceleration return automatically at idle when the brake is applied. This system doesn't work when you are stopped and you want to start the car, maiking it easier for you to start on a hill or on an incline, because it allows you to release the brake gradually when accelerating.

The KS is CE marked and has passed the EMC tests.
