Fairly expensive, but appear to work more similarly to what you were looking for.I have begun looking at the power chairs with a control on the back so the "attendent" (ME) can control the power function. So far, they look complicated using a joystick contol. I would rather push most of the time and just press a "power assist" when needed, using hand grips like bicycle brakes or a bar like on a lawnmower.
YPush Caregiver Power Assisted wheelchair - the link also has a video demonstrating the device. This one is a wheelchair fitted with power
Empulse R20 power assist. This link also includes a video. This one is a device that attaches to the user’s own wheelchair
Falcon power assist wheelchair This link also includes a video. Interesting that it has a regular joystick and an attendant control which isn’t a joystick; it only goes backward and forward - the attendant has to physically turn it.
