The mechanism (10) for adjusting the angular position of a pedal (PI; P2) of a vehicle comprises: a motor (12) for generating a rotary motion and transmitting it to at least one rotating member (20a; 32a); a first pedal assembly (14) comprising a first support frame (18) with a first slotted hole (24), rotatably supported on a first fulcrum (Fl) and adapted to support a first pedal (PI); a first motion conversion mechanism (20), comprising a first rotating member (20a) rotatable about a first axis of rotation (zl) and a first translating member (20b), configured to receive a rotational motion and to convert it into a translational motion; and a first pin (22), arranged for joint translation with said first translating member (20b) and arranged to slide inside said first slotted hole (24), whereby the sliding of the first pin (22) within said first slotted hole (24) draws the first support frame (18) in rotation about the first fulcrum (Fl) between a first angular position and a second angular position; and a second pedal assembly (28) similar to the first, wherein the first rotating member (20a) of the first motion conversion mechanism (20) is connected to the motor (12) to receive its rotary motion and the second rotating member (32a) of the second motion conversion mechanism (32) is connected in rotation to the first rotating member (20a) through a flexible transmission (40).
