Driving Controls (or Handicap Vehicle Controls) for Wheelchair and Scooters Users

Whether you’re new to being a driver or passenger in a wheelchair van, a veteran mobility van user whose needs have changed, or simply want an easier or better accessible driving experience, there are inventive and innovative solutions available for many types of mobility needs. We offer a wide range of driving controls to suit your needs.

One feature which may make driving an option for those with limited upper body/extremity flexibility or mobility is the availability of electronic driving controls (handicap vehicle controls) for many of the necessary driving features of wheelchair vans. Electronic handicap vehicle controls relocate these vehicle functions to an accessible location — for example, gear selection, ignition operation, and directional, headlight, and wiper controls can all be integrated into a specialized, centralized control location that allows ease of operation based on your physical capabilities.

Steering assistance is available for many different types of needs, such as spinner knob and steering column extension for mobility van drivers who cannot operate a hand steering system to controls which make hand operation easier. If you have the upper body mobility to operate a hand-operated steering wheel but have difficulty applying enough muscle strength, low- or zero-effort assisted power steering systems can increase your ability to drive for longer distances without fatigue. If you are not sure whether there are devices which will enable you to drive, contact us or a driver rehabilitation specialist for more information.
