Are you looking for a factory powered rack?

Yeah, probably easier to PM the OP than hope they'd spot something a couple years later! If it's anything like gear cutters here, normally need a decent minimum order to get anything made, 10+ usually.

If no luck, not sure there's that huge a number of small scale rack makers in the UK - I might try Titan as well.

You can add as much assist as you want at various speeds. You can set it to only come on from 0-10 mph, for example, as well as how much assist you want.

Finally getting around to installing a Kei epas here, do notice the system above would seem to delete the collapsible column, unless there's something hidden in the upper section of tube. Indulging in the same fault as the guy above after 2 years,

i dd you see anything there perhaps? As standard, it appears to be ~ 100mm telescoping if you have a frontal prang, plus 25mm in the steering shaft to the rack. Even the original kei car had 75mm. Going to 25mm only (if that's the case) seems a bit 1950s British sportscar death wish!
