Abstract: A pedal operating unit having a brake pedal, which is mounted to be pivotable about a first pivot, and a restoring mechanism, wherein the restoring mechanism is designed to apply a restoring force to the brake pedal in the direction of its rest position when the brake pedal is deflected out of the rest position thereof. The restoring mechanism has at least one first restoring device and one second restoring device. An increase in the restoring force is effected, in particular exclusively, by the first restoring device over a first angular range of a pivoting movement of the brake pedal about the first pivot, and an increase in the restoring force is effected, in particular exclusively, by the second restoring device over a second angular range of a pivoting movement of the brake pedal about the first pivot.
