Abstract

The disclosure relates to a manual control handle for an electrically powered utility vehicle. The handle provides three functions for the vehicle: steering guidance, speed selection and directional control (forward or reverse). These functions are so designed into the handle that the operator is able to use the handle to control the vehicle without training and with a high degree of safety.
