Abstract: A system (102) for changing a driving mode of a vehicle (202) is described. The system 5 (102) may include a throttle unit (104) and a control unit (106). The throttle unit (104) may generate a throttle signal in response to rotation of a throttle grip (108) of the throttle unit (104). The throttle grip (108) may be configured to be rotated in a first direction to increase speed of the vehicle (202) and in a second direction to change a driving mode of the vehicle (202). Further, the control unit (106) may determine if the 10 throttle signal indicates a request for change in the driving mode. In response to the determination, the control unit (106) may change the driving mode of the vehicle (202).

15 vehicle based on the the driving parameters corresponding to the predefined subsequent
driving mode.
6. A method for changing a driving mode of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, by a control unit, a throttle signal indicating a change in a position of
20 a throttle grip upon a rotation of the throttle grip; determining, by the control unit, whether the throttle signal indicates a request
for changing the driving mode of the vehicle; and
initiating, by the control unit, a change of the driving mode of the vehicle in
response to determining the throttle signal to indicate the request for changing the
25 driving mode.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:
generating, by one or more position sensors, a throttle value indicating the
position of the throttle grip with respect to a neutral position of the throttle grip, wherein the neutral position indicates a position of the throttle grip at which a throttle unit does
not share any signal with the control unit, and wherein the throttle grip is configured to
be rotated in a first direction to increase speed of the vehicle, and wherein the throttle
grip is configured to be rotated in a second direction to change the driving mode of the
5 vehicle; and
transmitting the throttle signal indicating the throttle value to the control unit,
wherein the throttle value is below a predefined threshold if the throttle grip is rotated
in the second direction.
10 8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the determining comprises:
processing the throttle signal to obtain a throttle value;
comparing the throttle value with a predefined threshold value; and ascertaining that the throttle signal indicates the request for changing the
driving mode of the vehicle, if the throttle value is below the predefined threshold
15 value.
9. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the initiating the change in the
driving mode comprises:
obtaining one or more current driving parameters;
20 determining a current driving mode of the vehicle based on the one or more
current driving parameters;
determining a predefined subsequent driving mode of the vehicle based on the
current driving mode;
obtaining driving parameters corresponding to the predefined subsequent
25 driving mode; and
transmitting a mode changeover signal to a traction motor for changing the
driving mode of the vehicle from the current driving mode to the predefined subsequent driving mode, wherein the mode changeover signal includes the driving parameters
corresponding to the predefined subsequent driving mode.10. A vehicle comprising:
a throttle unit to generate a throttle signal in response to a rotation of a throttle
grip of the throttle unit in a second direction, opposite to a first direction, wherein the
5 throttle grip is configured to be rotated in a first direction to increase speed of the
vehicle, and wherein the throttle grip is configured to be rotated in a second direction
to initiate a change in a driving mode of the vehicle; and
a control unit to:
determine if the throttle signal indicates a request to change the driving
10 mode of the vehicle; and
change the driving mode of the vehicle in response to determining that
the throttle signal indicates the request to change the driving mode of the
vehicle.
15 11. The vehicle as claimed in claim 10, wherein the throttle unit comprises one or more position sensors to:
generate a throttle value indicating a position of the throttle grip with respect to
a neutral position of the throttle grip, wherein the neutral position indicates a position
of the throttle grip at which the throttle unit does not share any signal with the control
20 unit; and

wherein the throttle value is below a predefined threshold if the throttle grip is rotated
in the second direction.
25 12. The vehicle as claimed in claim 11, wherein the control unit is to:
