Left and right-sided push brake with trigger accelerator control
Left and right-sided push brake with trigger accelerator control
The Trigger Accelerator and Brake Lever is operated by pushing the lever for brake and pulling the trigger for acceleration. It offers an easy transition to electronic controls for the driver familiar with the traditional mechanical Push-Pull hand control.
The light action of the trigger eliminates fatigue and provides the option of holding the steering wheel with two hands while controlling the accelerator trigger with the little finger.

Left and right-sided push brake with radial accelerator control
Left and right-sided push brake with radial accelerator control
The Ergonomic Radial Accelerator and Brake Lever is a quality hand control designed for operation with limited dexterity.
The choice of ergonomic palm or lever grip handle coupled with the ability to customise the handle weight and rotation totally personalises the product to the user’s individual strengths, preferences, and capabilities.

Left and right-sided satellite accelerators
Left and right-sided push brake with radial accelerator control
The Satellite Accelerator is for the driver who wants to maintain both hands on the wheel when driving. The unit is worn like a glove and acceleration is achieved by lightly pressing the thumb against a small lever allowing intuitive control over the operation of your car’s speed in all driving conditions.
Whether you are driving long distances, around tight curves or executing difficult manoeuvres, the Satellite Accelerator available in wired or wireless models, makes agile, smooth, reactive, and safe driving easy.
The Satellite Accelerator is generally paired with the Brake Lever.
Over-ring accelerator
The Over Ring Accelerator provides effortless acceleration for drivers with limited dexterity wanting to keep both hands on the wheel. Drivers accelerate by lightly pushing on the ring. Maintaining constant pressure at any speed, allows natural driving flow and excellent direction control on twisty roads, making precise and delicate driving manoeuvres easy. https://totalability.com.au/products/over-ring-accelerator/
Mini wheel steering (hand or foot operated)
Mini-wheel steering provides electronically controlled steering with adjustable sensitivity, allowing precise control during low-speed manoeuvres and smoother, moderated steering responses at higher speeds. The system includes steering redundancy for safety and can be mounted on either side with compatible steering ball options to meet individual driver needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggt7YiqEUJQ
4-way or 2-way joystick steering, acceleration and braking
- Joystick configurations:
- A four-way joystick can control steering, braking, and acceleration simultaneously.
- A two-way joystick can be configured to control either steering only or braking/acceleration only, allowing one hand to steer while the other operates speed control.
- Custom positioning and mounting:
The joystick can be mounted on either the left or right side using an adjustable control arm. Positioning can be modified vertically and horizontally, and additional supports such as elbow supports, larger stalks, palm caps, or customised handles can be fitted. - Electronic adjustment:
Braking effort, throttle response, and joystick preload resistance are electronically adjustable to suit the user’s strength and control abilities. For clients with very limited strength, the joystick can operate with as little as 20–30 grams of pressure. - Safety and reliability:
The joystick automatically returns to a neutral position and supports forward and reverse operation. - Suitability for wheelchair users:
The joystick is particularly suited for clients driving directly from their powered wheelchair via a docking station. Because the control movements are similar to those used on powered wheelchairs, less upper limb movement is required compared with other systems such as mini-wheels or Freedom brake accelerators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RSrz4vSHc
