Abstract
A door handle assembly having a vehicle door handle and a vehicle door. The vehicle door handle moves between a first, retracted position, in which an essentially planar surface of the vehicle door handle is flush with an outer face of the vehicle door, and a second, extended position, in which a grip opening between the outer face of the vehicle door and a grip inner side of the vehicle door handle is cleared for a user. The vehicle door handle is movable between the first and second positions aided by an electric motor, controlled by a control unit. The electric motor can be set in rotation starting from the second position of the door handle by application of a user's external force on the basis of a mechanical coupling of the vehicle door handle to the electric motor sensed by a sensing unit and fed to the control unit.
