Described herein is an assistance system for an electric personal-mobility vehicle (1a) for a person with reduced mobility. The assistance system comprises sensors (50a) configured for supplying data on the current state of the electric vehicle (1a) and a processing system (60, 2, 3). During a path training step, the processing system monitors a control signal (S1; Da, Db) supplied by a user interface (10a) of the electric vehicle (1a) and drives at least one actuator (30) of the electric vehicle (1a) as a function of the control signal (S1; Da, Db). Moreover, the processing system acquires a plurality of positions of the electric vehicle (1a), processes such position data to generate data that define at least one allowed zone, and stores the at least one allowed zone in a memory (62). Instead, during a normal operating step, the processing system determines the current state of the electric vehicle (1a) as a function of the data supplied by the sensors (50a) and monitors the control signal (S1; Da, Db) supplied by the user interface (10a). On the basis of these data, the processing system estimates a future state of the electric vehicle (1a) and determines whether the future position of the vehicle is within at least one allowed zone stored in the memory (62). In the case where the future position is within at least one allowed zone, the processing system drives the at least one actuator (30) of the electric vehicle (1a) as a function of the control signal (S1; Da, Db). Instead, in the case where the future position is not within at least one allowed zone, the processing system may control the actuators for keeping the electric vehicle (1a) within at least one allowed zone and/or generate an alert signal.
