The Long Arm Brake and Accelerator
The Long Arm Brake and Accelerator combines the two functions in one device. Designed specifically with the needs of the quadriplegic in mind – reduced brake effort and controlled/balanced acceleration.
The reduced braking effort is achieved thanks to the design of the lever and the additional leverage. Acceleration is activated by tilting the lever down – radial style. The angle of the lever operating the accelerator can be adjusted to the needs of the user along with the effort required in the turning action. Intended to be customised for the user.
Manufactured by Fadiel Italiana, the Long Arm Brake & Accelerator highlights another well-designed product.
