In this work, we studied vehicle maneuverability of an innovative push-pull steering system. In the past work, we developed a new assisted human powered vehicle with the steering system. There are two ways of steering in this vehicle, and the handling mechanisms are different. One is push-pull steering, and the other is skid-steer. We investigated the feature of both ways of steering from the ergonomics perspective and evaluated vehicle maneuverability of the steering combination. From the experiment, we observed that the combination with skid-steer required less force to steer. Therefore, it is more efficient to steer by the combination of skid-steer and push-pull steering.
