Electric Left Foot Accelerator
Electric Left Foot Accelerator
This market-leading Electric Left Foot Accelerator from Jeff Gosling Hand Controls Ltd is designed for drivers who are unable to operate the accelerator pedal with their right foot. This adaptation allows a driver to operate an accelerator pedal on the left of the brake pedal with their left foot.
The Electric Left Foot Accelerator is suitable for automatic vehicles with a fully electric floor mounted accelerator pedal. For vehicles with a conventional accelerator pedal which hangs down from the bulkhead, please refer to the Twin Folding Left Foot Accelerator section.
The precision design of this adaptation means that every Left Foot Accelerator design adopts the same properties as the OEM right side pedal. This adaptation includes an identical OEM pedal to the one on the right-hand side of the vehicle so it aesthetically matches. This results in a driving experience with the adaptation that replicates that of the experience with the standard pedal.
Additional Features
The Electric Left Foot Accelerator electrically replicates the standard right hand side accelerator pedal using an additional OEM accelerator pedal to the left hand side of the brake pedal.
The Electric Left Foot Accelerator is operated by simply selecting the required pedal using a change over switch. The pedal selected is energised whilst the other pedal has no function and can be used as a foot rest. This allows the vehicle to be converted easily to drive with either the left or right foot depending on the drivers requirements.
The switch will be mounted in an accessible location but where it cannot be accidentally knocked.
Some vehicles have a foot operated pedal to release the parking brake instead of a handbrake lever. When a Left Foot Accelerator is installed, most vehicles with a foot operated parking brake may also require an additional adaptation. This is due to the Left Foot Accelerator pedal being too close to the parking brake pedal and therefore the parking brake must be converted to hand operated.
