SmartBrake & SmartGas
This input device enables the driver to comfortably and easily brake and accelerate by hand with minimal effort.
SmartBrake and SmartGas are electronic driving control systems that require minimal physical effort to operate. They use sensitive electronic inputs rather than mechanical linkages, making them suitable for drivers with very limited strength or range of motion. These represent the most advanced driving adaptations available.
These systems suit drivers with conditions causing significant muscle weakness, limited range of motion, or progressive conditions where needs may change over time. They're often recommended following assessment at a specialist mobility centre. We work closely with assessors to ensure the right solution.
Yes, high tech systems typically cost more than mechanical alternatives due to their complexity. However, they may be funded through the Motability Scheme or grants from organisations like the Family Fund or local authorities. We can advise on funding options.
