The drive ( 1 ) for a flexible endoscope ( 2 ) has support elements ( 3, 4 ) which move relative to one another in a displacement direction (s) perpendicular to the axial direction (a) of the endoscope ( 2 ) and can be fixed in a desired position. On each of the support elements ( 3, 4 ), there are drive rollers ( 5, 6, 7, 8 ) that drive the endoscope ( 2 ). The drive rollers ( 5, 6, 7, 8 ), are driven by an electric drive ( 10 ). The electric drive ( 10 ) is connected to a pedal ( 11 ) that controls the speed of rotation and/or direction of rotation of the drive rollers ( 5, 6, 7, 8 ). To improve the operating comfort for the physician, the support elements ( 3, 4 ) can adjusted relative to one another by means of a screw/thread element ( 14 ). The screw/thread element ( 14 ) having a release position in which the support elements ( 3,4 ) can be distanced from one another without actuation of the screw-thread element ( 14 ).
