Gas & Brake Pedal Extenders:


Sitting too close to a driver-side airbag is not only uncomfortable, but dangerous as well! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recommend that drivers be seated as far away from the steering wheel of the vehicle they’re driving as possible. A common rule of thumb is to have a distance of no less than 10” between the wheel and the driver. Sitting closer than this can put you at a higher risk of injury if you’re in an accident and you airbag deploys.


While the option exists to disconnect your airbag, doing so renders one of your vehicle’s most important and effective safety features useless. Fortunately, with pedal extenders from Main Mobility, you can drive safely and confidently! Our gas, brake and clutch pedal extenders offer a safe, simple and inexpensive alternative for those who are of short stature, pregnant, or have back, hip or knee problems.

Gas, brake & clutch pedal extenders are ideal for those who are:

•Of short-stature (2’6” – 5’2” tall)

•Overweight

•Have arthritis of the ankle and toes

•Weak in transferring from gas to brake pedal

•Have back, knee or hip problems

•Pregnant – sitting to close to the steering wheel

•Have Go-Karts or ATV’s
