Electric drives are increasingly replacing or supplementing traditional ones, as the
development of batteries and control techniques has made them efficient and precisely
controllable. Therefore also in the field of garden carts, we encounter examples of the use of
electric motors to assist in their control. However, an interface must be provided that allows
the user intuitive and simple control. The thesis presents the process of creating a handle
control system for intuitive control of the electric drive by detecting the user applied force
on the handle intended for use in carts. The first part presents the theoretical background of
the key selected components that enable the creation of the control system. The second part
describes the process of creating both the mechanical and electronic parts of the control
system, as well as the software part. We also tested the system and came to the conclusion
that, in its implemented form, it does not allow intuitive use.
