Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2649973A1] The device has two running wheels provided with grip rings, and a sensor device for acquisition of muscle power introduced into the grip rings. A slant sensor device detects slant of a wheelchair against horizontals in a direction of travel of the wheelchair. A control device activates a driving device based on the detected slant for a certain period and/or for delivery of certain power. The control device slows down the driving device with detection of the slant in the direction of driving of the wheelchair.
