When I was 12 years old my parents bought me a 10 speed 26" bike, it was way too big for me at the time so I used these pedal blocks. A block would go on each side of the pedal on a bike, but on the golf cart put both blocks on the top side and then add the rubber surround, which is ribbed and helps the foot make contact. $10 at Walmart.

Velcro if you look at it is nylon hooks that catches a fabric material. I looses holding power as it is used and as it gets dirty. Also, it is held in place with a contact adhesive. I expect the adhesive also looses holding power over time and in heat.

I hope there are better solutions.

'Velcro,' (like 'Kleenex' for 'facial tissues') is simply just a name brand...for the 'hook & loop' fastening system.

As JoelJohnson describes though, I'm sure that if the 'hook & loop' attachment he's chosen wears out...it's pretty simple to replace it.

So I'll stand by Tomwed's description of..."Brilliant."


PS. "Loses" holding power.

I used a sanding block with zip ties, works great, $5 at Ace

I have seen a lot more issues from folks who can't/won't/don't properly use the left pedal...than problems being able to use the right one.

That would make it very difficult to set the parking tab on the brake pedal.

Agreed.

However, I still maintain that someone who has a problem using the accelerator...will have even more problems properly using the brakes.

A good solution needs to be found... for the left pedal too.

Check Golfcartmaster.com They are located in The Villages and the lady dropped one off for us at the house. Great product. I am 5'8 and it does not bother me to leave it in place. Wife is 5' 1'

I don't have a cart. I guess the seat doesn't slide. Maybe if you change the integrity [if that's the right word] of the cart by adding a block you may have a problem should anything go wrong.

Way back when, my wife use to put a pillow behind her back. She hardly drove, I drove.

Just buy a rubber sanding block and zip tie it to peddle. I'm a short woman and stumbled on this solution. Told my neighbors abut five others did it and love it. Bought at Walmart less than $5.

That's very clever. And if some other solution comes along you got a sanding block.
