Honda patents floor-mounted accelerator pedal for scooters

The brakes continue to be on the scooter's handlebar, though.

According to a media report, Honda has filed a patent application for a floor-mounted pedal design for its scooters.

However, unlike the scooters of old, where the foot pedal operated the brakes, Honda's patent showcases the pedal as an accelerator. The patent images are pretty self-explanatory, with very little detail revealed otherwise. The images showcase a small, lightweight scooter with an accelerator pedal on the footboard. The brakes continue to be on the scooter's handlebar, though.

The floor-mounted accelerator pedal design is still in its patent stage. It remains to be seen if Honda actually goes ahead with implementing the design into an actual production vehicle.
