1. A user input signal management method for a vehicle provided with a drivetrain including a prime mover having an output that rotates and an input that controls a rotating speed of the output of the prime mover, the drivetrain further including a user input, the method comprising:
receiving a user input control signal representative of a position of the user input of the vehicle;
receiving data representative of at least one condition of the vehicle;
generating a max point signal as a function of the data received;
determining a lesser signal of the control signal and the max point signal; and
supplying the lesser signal to the input of the prime mover.
