Operation pedal system
An operation pedal system that is installed in a straddle-type vehicle includes an operation pedal having an arm portion and a pedal portion, and a tread surface forming member that is attached to the pedal portion to form a first tread surface above the pedal portion that receives a stepping force when a stepping operation is performed on the operation pedal. In the operation pedal system, the tread surface forming member is separate from the operation pedal, and the tread surface forming member has a body portion having a tread surface forming surface forming the first tread surface on an upper surface, and an attachment mechanism provided on the body portion for detachably attaching the tread surface forming member to the pedal portion.
1 . An operation pedal system that is installed in a saddle-ride vehicle, the operation pedal system comprising:
an operation pedal having an arm portion extending generally in a front-back direction of the saddle-ride vehicle, and a pedal portion protruding outward in a left-right direction in the saddle-ride vehicle from a front end portion of the arm portion; and
a tread surface forming member that is attached to the pedal portion to form a first tread surface above the pedal portion that receives a stepping force when a stepping operation is performed on the operation pedal, wherein
the tread surface forming member is separate from the operation pedal,
the tread surface forming member has,
a body portion having a tread surface forming surface forming the first tread surface on an upper surface, and
an attachment mechanism provided on the body portion for detachably attaching the tread surface forming member to the pedal portion,
the attachment mechanism has a protruding portion protruding downward from the body portion and a latching portion with a hook shape or an anchor shape provided at a lower end portion of the protruding portion,
the pedal portion is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom portion with a plate shape that extends generally in the front-back direction and the left-right direction, and a peripheral wall portion that extends upward from a periphery of the bottom portion,
a latch hole is formed in the bottom portion, and
the tread surface forming member is attached to the pedal portion by inserting the attachment mechanism into the peripheral wall portion, placing the body portion on the peripheral wall portion, and latching the latching portion to the latch hole.
2 . The operation pedal system according to claim 1 , wherein
a second tread surface is formed on an upper surface of the pedal portion to receive a stepping force when the stepping operation is performed on the operation pedal in a state where the tread surface forming member is removed from the pedal portion, and
a height of the first tread surface formed by attaching the tread surface forming member to the pedal portion is higher than a height of the second tread surface.
3 . The operation pedal system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a holder for holding the tread surface forming member removed from the pedal portion on the saddle-ride vehicle, wherein
the holder is provided in a portion of the saddle-ride vehicle other than the operation pedal.
4 . The operation pedal system according to claim 3 , wherein
the holder is provided in a portion of the saddle-ride vehicle other than the operation pedal and exposed to outside, and
the tread surface forming member removed from the pedal portion is attached to the holder in a state of being exposed to outside.
5 . An operation pedal system that is installed in a saddle-ride vehicle, the operation pedal system comprising:
an operation pedal having an arm portion extending generally in a front-back direction of the saddle-ride vehicle, and a pedal portion protruding outward in a left-right direction in the saddle-ride vehicle from a front end portion of the arm portion;
a tread surface forming member that is attached to the pedal portion to form a first tread surface above the pedal portion that receives a stepping force when a stepping operation is performed on the operation pedal; and
a holder for holding the tread surface forming member removed from the pedal portion on the saddle-ride vehicle, wherein
the tread surface forming member is separate from the operation pedal,
the tread surface forming member has,
a body portion having a tread surface forming surface forming the first tread surface on an upper surface, and
an attachment mechanism provided on the body portion for detachably attaching the tread surface forming member to the pedal portion,
the holder is provided in a portion of the saddle-ride vehicle other than the operation pedal and exposed to outside,
the tread surface forming member removed from the pedal portion is attached to the holder in a state of being exposed to outside,
the saddle-ride vehicle is provided with a pillion footrest unit having a pillion footrest and a pillion footrest bracket for supporting the pillion footrest to the saddle-ride vehicle, and
the holder is provided in the pillion footrest unit.
6 . The operation pedal system according to claim 5 , wherein
the pillion footrest bracket extends outward in the left-right direction from the saddle-ride vehicle and has two pillar portions separated from each other, and
the holder is provided between the two pillar portions.
7 . The operation pedal system according to claim 6 , wherein
the holder is arranged so as not to protrude outward in the left-right direction from between the two pillar portions when the saddle-ride vehicle is viewed from the front.
