Compact Foot-Controlled Throttle Extension Device for Precise Driving (ACAR-F1mini)

Overview

The ACAR-F1mini Compact Foot-Controlled Throttle Extension Device is a precision-engineered automotive accessory designed to enhance driving control and comfort, particularly for drivers requiring extended pedal reach or improved throttle sensitivity. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and reinforced polymer, this 12cm-long extension features a non-slip surface and adjustable angle mechanism, providing seamless integration with most passenger vehicles. The lightweight design (280g) and universal compatibility make it ideal for daily commuting, commercial fleets, and adaptive driving setups.

Features

Ergonomic Design for Optimal Control

Adjustable Angle & Height: 30° tilt adjustment and 15mm vertical height control, accommodating drivers of different leg lengths (5th to 95th percentile anthropometry).

Non-Slip Textured Surface: Rubberized pedal pad with 45° lateral grip ribs, reducing foot slippage by 30% compared to standard pedals (ASTM F1677 tested).

Universal Compatibility

Multi-Vehicle Fit: Works with 98% of gasoline/diesel cars (1990-present models), including sedans, SUVs, and light trucks, via adjustable clamp mechanism (fits pedals 30-50mm wide).

Plug-and-Play Installation: No drilling or wiring required—secures to factory throttle pedals using stainless steel quick-release clamps (torque tolerance: 8-12 N·m).

Durability & Safety

High-Strength Materials: Anodized aluminum main body (salt spray tested for 500 hours) and glass-filled nylon clamps, supporting 50kg pedal force without deformation.

Safety Lock Mechanism: Patented dual-latch system prevents accidental detachment during hard acceleration, validated through 10,000-cycle fatigue testing.

Adaptive Driving Support

Handicap Accessibility: Ideal for drivers with limited leg mobility, providing 20% longer pedal reach (adjustable from 10-30mm extension).

Customizable Feedback: Optional spring resistance kits (soft/medium/hard) allow drivers to adjust throttle sensitivity for city or highway driving.

Application

Passenger Vehicles:

Daily Commuting: Improves comfort for tall drivers in compact cars with short pedal distances.

Adaptive Driving: Essential for disabled drivers using foot-controlled vehicles, compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines.

Commercial Use:

Delivery Fleets: Reduces driver fatigue in long-haul deliveries, compatible with GPS-enabled fleet management systems.

Driving Schools: Standardizes pedal feel for student drivers across diverse vehicle models.

Motorsports & Modding:

Track Cars: Enhances throttle precision for racing enthusiasts, adjustable for track-specific driving styles.

Custom Builds: Perfect for vintage car restorations lacking modern pedal ergonomics.
