The NEXT GENERATION
Technology Des igned to Help
Electronic Left Foot Accelerator
The NEXT GENERATION of left foot accelerators has arrived.
This paradigm shift in SAFETY now requires the driver to activate the
left pedal prior to each use. In addition, a separate key is required to
transfer function to the left accelerator pedal. There is no need to
remove the device or engage a lockout system. The system always
defaults to the right side accelerator pedal. This safety feature is
important when other family members need to drive or when the
vehicle is being moved by someone else such as a valet or service
technician. Veigel has specifically designed the Electronic Left Foot
Accelerator (ELFA) for safe frequent driver change with the upmost
ease.
We use only OEM proven circuits and accelerator pedals to ensure
the highest quality and reliability of the entire system.
If your mobility equipment dealer is concerned about installing left
foot accelerators due to insurance or liability concerns, the Veigel
ELFA may be the solution.
