Mechanical Radial Hand Controls are similar to push-pull controls. The lever is mounted underneath the steering wheel but closer to the rim than the push-pull type. Pushing the lever down (towards the floor) operates the accelerator. At any position, the lever can be pushed away from you to put the brakes on.
Because there is more room for the lever to move, both brake and accelerator functions are lighter than a push-pull control.
An added bonus is that the weight of your hand and arm is enough to hold the accelerator in any position making this type of hand control the most relaxing of all!
Indicator and other switches can be added to the control lever for extra convenience.
If you can’t rely on your feet to control the brake and accelerator pedals, you can operate both functions using just one hand.
Steer with one hand, operate the brake and accelerator with the other – it’s simple! Less effort required than a push-pull.
