The most popular left foot accelerator in the UK. Our market-leading twin folding left foot accelerator 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.
Our precision design process means that every left foot accelerator design adopts the same properties as the OEM right side pedal. During the design process, the left-hand side pedal is designed to replicate the right-hand pedal as closely as possible in proximity to the brake pedal and pedal height. This results in the driving experience replicating the standard driving experience.
The twin folding left foot accelerator mechanically replicates the standard right hand side accelerator pedal with an additional pedal to the left hand side of the brake pedal. You simply pull down the required pedal and the opposite pedal will fold up out of the way. This allows the vehicle to be converted easily to drive with either the left or right foot depending on the drivers preference.
The adaptation mimics the original pedal with full range of acceleration and no loss of 'Kick Down'.
The safety function only allows for use of one accelerator pedal at a time.
The twin folding left foot accelerator is suitable for automatic vehicles with a pedal which hangs down from the bulkhead. For vehicles with a fully electric floor mounted pedal, please refer to our electric left foot accelerator section.
You can check the left foot accelerator type of some of the current, popular vehicles on our Left Foot Accelerator Type list.
If you have previously driven with manual transmission we would not recommend a left foot accelerator. The finesse required for accelerating is very different from the operation of a clutch and also, in an emergency situation, there is a risk of pressing the left accelerator accidently, when you’d automatically revert to think you were using your left foot to depress the clutch to emergency brake.
If you are considering driving with a left foot accelerator for the first time we recommend that you first have a driving assessment or lessons with a qualified instructor using a left foot accelerator.
If you have a left foot accelerator installed, it is important that you notify any other drivers of the vehicle and flip the pedal back to the conventional right accelerator before allowing them to drive. It is especially important to notify any garages or valeters where you may be leaving your vehicle unattended of the adaptation and how it operates. Drivers who are not used to driving on a left foot accelerator should always use the right hand side pedal.
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.

Our market-leading electric left foot accelerator 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.
Our precision design process means that every left foot accelerator design adopts the same properties as the OEM right side pedal. We supply and install an identical OEM pedal to the one on the right-hand side of the vehicle so it aesthetically matches. This results in the driving experience with the adaptation replicating the standard driving experience.
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. If you have a preference of where you would like the switch mounting, please discuss this with your installer before the work is carried out to see what is possible.
