Each adaptation is positioned to match the brake pedal's proximity and height, providing comfort and safety for the driver.

For vehicles with a traditional hanging accelerator pedal, we recommend the Twin Folding Left Foot Accelerator. For automatic vehicles with a floor-mounted electric accelerator pedal, the Electric Left Foot

Twin Folding Left Foot Accelerator

The Twin Folding Left Foot Accelerator mechanically duplicates the functionality of the standard accelerator pedal on the left-hand side of the brake. Simply pull down the desired pedal, and the opposite pedal folds out of the way, allowing for seamless operation with either foot based on the driver’s preference.

  • Provides full range of acceleration with no loss of "kick-down" functionality.
  • Features a safety mechanism to ensure only one pedal can be used at a time.

Available Makes and Models:

Electric Left Foot Accelerator

The Electric Left Foot Accelerator uses an additional OEM accelerator pedal installed to the left of the brake.

  • Operated via a changeover switch to activate the desired pedal.
  • Only the selected pedal is energized, while the other pedal remains inactive and can be used as a footrest.
  • Easily converts between left or right foot operation to suit the driver’s needs.

Important Safety Notice

Risks of Driving with a Left Foot Accelerator

Transitioning to a left foot accelerator can pose risks, particularly for drivers used to conventional pedals or manual vehicles.

Key Risks

  • Pedal Confusion: Instinctive use of the left foot for braking or acceleration may cause errors.
  • Delayed Reactions: Adapting to the new layout can slow response times in emergencies.
  • Pedal Sensitivity: Left foot operation requires different finesse than a clutch, potentially leading to jerky acceleration.
  • Learning Curve: Adjusting to the system increases the risk of unintentional pedal use, especially in traffic.

Precautionary Measures

  • Get Professional Training: Seek professional training to get accustomed to the new pedal configuration. Consider sessions with a driving instructor specialised in adaptive controls.
  • Practice Safely: Start in controlled environments, focusing on emergency braking and maneuvering. Avoid busy roads immediately after installation.
  • Certified Installation: Unique Mobility's engineers are qualified installers with up-to-date training.
  • Regular Check-Ins: Periodically review your proficiency to maintain safety.
