GAS RING OVER THE STEERING WHEEL KO

KO makes the accelerator control manual by transferring it from the pedal to the wheel, which allows people with partial or complete lack of functionality to lower limbs to drive. It can be installed in cars with automatic gear, sequential transmission or automatic clutch.

 


The gas ring is placed over the original wheel of the car. A light pressure on the ring is required to accelerate. Easy to use,  KO can be completely removed without leaving traces on the wheel: by removing it, more space between the steering wheel and the driver will be available for the wheelchair to go through and for an able-bodied person to drive without hindrances. Its fixing is quick as it was designed especially to avoid damaging the wheel. All car options remain unchanged so as to preserve the general safety.

 


Moreover, thanks to a button integrated in the brake lever knob, it’s possible to engage the function "economizer". When this function is been engaged, the car power is reduced, so as to be ready for those situations requiring particular driving awareness (e.g. newly licensed drivers, parking manoeuvres or simply reduction of fuel consumption in city traffic).

 


KO is available both by interface and with motor. In the version by interface, which can be installed in most cars with an electronic gas pedal, acceleration with the original pedal can be restored at any moment by a switch placed in a comfortable position for the driver, while in the version with motor the gas pedal remains always active.
In both versions KO is equipped with a safety system that annuls the acceleration in case of braking. This system does not activate in case of uphill starts or delicate maneuvers such as parking.

 


KO is approved by the EMC as well as CE-marked.
