  • Patent number: 10138996
    Abstract: A gearshift lever for a single-track or multi-track motor vehicle comprising a lever arm and at least one gearshift pedal. The gearshift pedal is for the gearshift lever of a single-track or multi-track vehicle. To prevent damage to the footwear and to be able to execute the shifting process without a great deal of physical effort, there are provisions for the gearshift pedal of the gearshift lever to be fastened to the lever arm so as to be so as to be rotatable around the axial direction of the gearshift pedal. As a result, a situation is achieved in which the gearshift pedal can roll off the shoe during the shifting process in the case of a motorcycle, for instance.
