Method for controlling handlebars and moving parts

Abstract

To provide a handlebar capable of presenting a vibrational stimulus to a user.SOLUTION: A handlebar for use in controlling an advancing direction of a moving body includes a pair of first and second holding areas to be held with user's hands. The handlebar includes oscillators that are disposed within the first and second holding areas respectively and can be reciprocated in a longitudinal direction of the handlebar. The handlebar includes a control unit capable of controlling the oscillating conditions of the oscillators with a broadband oscillatory wave.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
