Summary:A pedal assembly includes a one-piece accelerator pedal without moving linkages that is mounted to a pin for rotational movement relative to a mounting stay. The throttle cable is operatively connected to the accelerator pedal for movement thereby as the pedal rotates, at least one of the pedal and mounting stay configured to provide a first ratio of pedal stroke movement relative to cable stroke movement at initial depression of the accelerator pedal, and a different, second ratio of pedal stroke movement relative to cable stroke movement upon further depression of the accelerator pedal.
