The electronic accelerator control ring is particularly suitable for drivers who feel most comfortable driving with both hands safely on the steering wheels. This unique technical solution allows the accelerator to be operated with minimal force, while keeping the hands at any position around the steering wheel rim. The entire electronic accelerator assembly has been developed in-house by our company and fully preserves the airbag function. The design also does not obstruct the driver's field of view, including the instrument panel, as there is no internal crossbar to interfere.
Certification and approval by the Ministry of Transport ensure that you are installing a truly reliable control system in your vehicle. Routine servicing is provided free of charge at our facility for the entire lifetime of the device. To make sure you are fully confident in operating the system, we will teach you how to drive using our electronic accelerator.
Our Electronic Accelerator Options
- Steering Wheel Ring - Push Type
- Steering Wheel Ring - Lateral Movement Type
Steering Wheel Ring - Push Type
The push-type ring can be manufactured in various sizes and shapes, always with safety and reliability in mind. The device consists of both mechanical and electronic components. This solution allows the driver to keep their hands anywhere on the steering wheel rim while driving. When using the push ring, the accelerator can be operated with just one hand.
Technical Features and Benefits of the Push-Type Electronic Accelerator
- Low operating force around the entire circumference of the steering wheel
- The drive can operate the accelerator with both hands
- The ring mounting solution has no crossbar obstructing the view of the instrument panel
- The standalone ring allows the steering wheel adjustment to remain unchanged when using the MERO 3 brake
- Choice of MERO 2 or MERO 3 brake systems
- The ring shape can be custom-made to suit individual requirements
- The MERO 2 brake can be installed on either the right or left side
- If required, a mechanical accelerator can be added to the MERO 2 or MERO 3 lever
Electronic section
- The electronic section of the ring uses new technical solutions.
- Common HURT EU electronics are used for both the accelerator and brake. The electronics can be configured for separate electronic clutch, a separate electronic accelerator, or for controlling both the electronic clutch and accelerator simultaneously.
- If only an electronic accelerator is required, we can supply a smaller electronics unit without the components needed for clutch control.
- Electronics is capable of controlling the accelerator in both modern vehicles with an electronic accelerator and older vehicles with a mechanical throttle.
- There are several options for switching off the accelerator: using a switch (allowing operation by only one driver or both drivers simultaneously), or without a switch, where the accelerator control is selected automatically after the engine is started. In this case, one control is active while the other is disabled.
- It is also possible to choose dual accelerator control, using both the ring and the MERO 2 or MERO 3 lever.
- The device has been tested by an authorised TÜV laboratory.
Mechanical section
- All components are manufactured by our company and are always kept in stock.
- We use a universal ring mounting system that allows the ring mechanism to be mounted directly onto the steering wheel rim.
- We can also manufacture the mechanism to individual requirements, for example with a finger-operated lever or a motorcycle-style handle.
- The ring can be made from plastic or finished with a leather covering.
Watch How to Drive with Our Push Ring
Steering Wheel Ring - Lateral Movement Type
The lateral ring can be installed in all types of vehicles, including underneath the steering wheel. This electronic accelerator is our own unique design and is controlled by a ring on the steering wheel using lateral movement. Both types of control may appear unusual at first glance, but they are very comfortable to use.
The ring can be operated with both hands using the thumbs, or simply held with the entire palm in the desired position. The lateral movement has a travel of 30 mm, and the rings are manufactured in two diameter sizes. This ring accelerator can be mounted in any type of vehicle and may also be installed below the steering wheel, which may be more suitable for some users.
Technical Features and Benefits of the Electronic Lateral Ring Accelerator
- Lateral movement with a travel of 30 mm
- Two diameter sizes available: 250 mm and 300 mm
- Option to install the ring underneath the steering wheel
- MERO 2 brake available on the right - or left-hand side, or as a MERO 3 lever
- The ring allows the steering wheel adjustment to remain unchanged when using the MERO 3 brake
- Unique technical solution requiring no modification to the steering wheel
- Option to add a mechanical accelerator on the MERO 2 or MERO 3 lever
