Drawing on our 30 plus years in the industry and after close collaboration with our customers, OT’s and Installers we are very proud to introduce the E-Tronic Navigator. Designed and manufactured in Australia by PME to the highest possible standard.
Jam packed with new functionality, highly adaptable and with a sleek finish that looks the part in any high-end vehicle, the E-Tronic wont let you down.
The E-Tronic is available in two different models the slimline Navigator and Pilot with brake locking functionality.
Some features of the Navigator at a glance -
In addition to all the great features of the E-Tronic Navigator, the E-Tronic Pilot is equipt with a brake holding function. This allows the driver to free both their hands whist stopped at traffic lights or during heavy traffic build up.
The ratcheting mechanism can be applied at different firmness to suit the vehicle and brake pressure required.
To deactivate simply apply pressure to the brake lever when you are ready to take off and the brake locking mechanism will deactivate automatically.
Coupled with a brake slip tube, the hand control moves independely of the brake pedal when able bodied drivers apply the brakes by foot. Leaving the feel of the brake pedal unchanged.
