Pedal assembly for vehicles

A pedal assembly for a vehicle, the vehicle including a motor and a braking mechanism, the pedal assembly comprising:

• an actuator pedal movably coupled with the vehicle so as to be displaceable between an initial position and a maximum displaced position, the actuator pedal being operatively connected with the motor;
• a brake pedal movably coupled with the vehicle so as to be displaceable between an initial position and a park position, the brake pedal being operatively coupled with the braking mechanism so as to actuate the braking mechanism in the brake park position;
• and
• a coupler connected with the brake pedal;
• a retainer movably coupled with the vehicle so as to be angularly displaceable about an axis and including a first and second generally cylindrical portions, each cylindrical portion having a plurality of teeth, the actuator pedal being engageable with at least one of the teeth of the retainer first portion so as to prevent angular displacement of the retainer about the retainer axis and the coupler being engageable with at least one of the teeth of the retainer second portion such that the brake pedal is releasably retained at the park position when the actuator pedal is engaged with the retainer.
