Abstract
A foot board and brake pedal for a four wheeled all-terrain vehicle of light weight simple structure with an easy braking operation is provided, on which an operator's foot is freely movable during running, by which the operator's foot is protected from mud and water splashed by front wheels. A recessed portion is formed on a foot putting face of the foot board to accommodate the foot stepping portion of the brake pedal below the foot putting face when the braking pedal is stepped down. An opening is formed on a bottom wall of the recessed portion through which the foot stepping portion of the brake pedal can pass at the maximum stepping amount. The foot board is supported on a body frame by an inverted U-shaped bracket covering the arm portion of the brake pedal through a vibration damper member.
