Patent number: 9108531Abstract: A straddle-type tracked vehicle comprises a frame and a foot board pivotally connected to the frame. A retainer selectively prevents the foot board from pivoting with respect to the frame. An actuator, operatively connected to at least one operative system of the vehicle, has a pedal disposed at least in part vertically above the foot board. In a first state of the retainer, the foot board is fixed in a default position by the retainer. The pedal is movable between a first position and a second position. The second position is vertically below the first position and vertically above the default position of the foot board. In a second state of the retainer, the foot board pivots such that at least a front of the foot board is at a position vertically below the default position. The pedal is movable to a third position vertically below the second position.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS INC.Inventors: Dany Marois, Yannick Bourque, Bruno Girouard, Bruno Bedard
