  • the door release member 43 may extend in a direction that is approximately perpendicular to a direction in which the first handle portion 41 extends.
  • the door release member 43 may slide relative to the vehicle 10 and one or more guides (not shown) may be provided to constrain movement of the door release member 43.
  • the door release member 43 may extend away from a first end 42a of the second handle portion 42 (the first end 42a being opposite the second end 42b).
  • the door release member 43 may be configured to connect to a door release mechanism (not depicted).
  • the door release member 43 may comprise an opening 47 at a first end 43a that connects to the door release mechanism. Retraction of the door release member 43 may release the door release mechanism from a locked state.
  • the handle assembly 40 may further comprise an elongate pivot member 48 that may operatively couple the door release member 43 to each of the first and second handle portions 41, 42.
  • the pivot member 48 may pivot about a pivot point 48c on the second handle portion 42.
  • a first end 48a of the pivot member 48 may be pivotally coupled to the first handle portion 41.

  • the pivot member 48 has not rotated relative to the second handle portion 42 due to the first and second handle portions moving together.
  • At least one biasing element e.g. a spring
  • At least one further biasing element may also be provided to urge the second handle portion 42 or door release member 43 into the neutral position.
  • the door 12 may be biased away from a closed position such that the door may open at least partially upon release of the door release mechanism.
  • the door release mechanism may unlock the door and the door may unclench away from its closed position.
  • a biasing mechanism for the door may exert a force that exceeds the pushing force exerted on the first handle portion in the event that such forces are antagonistic.
  • a user may therefore be able to unlock and open the door with their body (e.g. without using their hands).
