Beschreibung
Extremely suitable where an automatic version of the vehicle is not available.
You can find various video clips of the unit in operation on a popular clips website.
If you have lost the use of a leg then a semi-automatic clutch system allows you to drive a manual vehicle.
The duck clutch features a ‘duck shaped’ gear nob with a lever which controls the complete clutch operation. With this system greater varied control over the clutch is possible (great for off-roading etc.) but the starting and stopping procedure also needs to be controlled by the lever.
The system can be disabled to allow the vehicle to be driven completely conventionally (NB if combined with a left foot accelerator the clutch pedal is removed making the vehicle only driveable using the semi-auto clutch system).
This product is very popular with vehicles not available in automatic, motorhomes and performance cars.
The unit was fitted by A10 Mobility (Enfield) to my vehicle last year but since then I have had to change vehicles and the unit has now been removed. It worked perfectly. The unit can be fitted to almost any conventional manual vehicle - I would advise contacting a motability specialist to fit. The cost of the conversion including fitting was over £2500. The unit was supplied by Elap to A10 Mobility in Enfield and I think it is a Guido-Simplex unit manufactured in Italy. I do not have any fitting instructions but the unit is complete and ready to be installed.
