Handicapped drivers?

[PeteW]

Hi -

Anyone out there with experience with left-foot accelerators in a Smart Car?

Any problems or issues?

Thanks!

Pete

The accelerator pedal is electronic; there are no cables attaching it to the engine.

One could move it, I think, without too much difficulty. If I recall correctly there's just a couple of bolts holding it to the floor.

I'm assuming you've had similar modifications on other vehicles?

[PeteW]

Yes. This will be my fourth.

The footwell gets very tight to the left of the brake. Not impossible but tight.
hope it works for you. I find my car roomy and comfortable good luck

Maybe a "hand" control ?

I think a hand control could be possible, but the user must get used ti it first because from what I heard, it's kinda weird to have an accelerator control by hand

I have some use of my right leg, but wear a long leg brace. If it weren't raining today I'd be putting in the cruise control. I've gotten used to driving using cruise as the accelerator. - sheureka
