The Easy-Drive is a revolutionary new hand control that allows unprecedented ease of operation, convenience and safety for the disabled driver. Easy-Drive is a ring accelerator located in front of the steering wheel which rotates freely and independently, allowing for smooth and consistent control of acceleration and deceleration. Although ring accelerators located behind the steering wheel have been around for years, they require skill, manual dexterity and often substantial training. Users must learn to turn the vehicle while maintaining a consistent pressure on the ring and thus the acceleration level. With the Easy-Drive system, consistent acceleration is a cinch: simply grasp the ring anywhere, with either hand or both, and the ring follows the steering wheel as you turn! Since the motion of the arm and hand are steadied by pressure on the wheel, the precise movements required to accelerate smoothly are controlled by the fingers which naturally have a greater dexterity than the palm or forearm. The ring controls a reliable and time-tested pneumatic servo system that has been in wide use in automotive hand controls for over 30 years throughout the United States and Canada. The brake is controlled by an integrated mechanical lever which can be located to the right or the left of the steering wheel. The system cost is a fraction of the cost of digital systems and is far less invasive in terms of its installation and complexity. Since the Easy-Drive system is not ...
