joysteer®

Out and about in traffic despite physical limitations

joysteer® is an electronic steering system for people with a severe physical disability. Driving becomes safe and comfortable despite muscular disease, paralysis or deformation of the arms and legs. joysteer® has various individually adaptable operating elements.

Thanks to active force feedback and a speed-dependent steering ratio the vehicle can be driven perfectly even at high speeds.

The double redundancy of the steering and brake systems guarantees the highest level of safety. Both systems have two independent circuits that monitor each other: if one circuit fails, the second ensures that the systems are maintained. This steering and braking system corresponds to state-of-the-art technology.

  • The vehicle is steered with two levers: the left one is used to accelerate and brake, while the right one is used to operate the steering, which has force feedback and is speed-dependent.

  • Two levers that are connected to each other are used for steering. A rocker switch integrated into one of the steering levers is used to accelerate and brake.

    Steering consists of a single lever. The vehicle is steered by means of forwards, backwards and sideways movements: push backwards and forwards to accelerate and brake; turn to the left and the right to steer. The four-way joystick can also be operated with both hands if required.

    Steering is operated with one lever. A rocker switch integrated into the steering lever is used to accelerate and brake. This option is designed for people who only have one hand available.

    The vehicle can be steered in a similar way to with a bicycle handlebar. Lateral levers are used to operate the accelerator and brake.
