Default Accelerator pedal extension

Mom needs an extension for the accelerator pedal on our Yamaha cart. Any ideas?

A block of 2x4, and a wrap of duct tape does it.

I am just under 5' tall and had a similar problem. I got a "Back Buddy" from the villages Golf Car Store.

You can see a picture of it here

Pedal extensions can be purchased at Carts and Clubs in Ocala. They work wonderfully.

I need one too, and I am 5'4". I'm going over to Carts and Clubs. We should've bought one when we got the cart.

I won't be buying my cart for a while but I did stop by Carts and Clubs last fall. Ok, so I'm anxious to move to TV! Anyway, I mentioned that I can barely reach the pedals and he showed me the pedal extensions. He said they only fit the Yamaha carts.

I was disappointed as we rent carts now and I would buy the extensions now to use on the carts we rent!!

I'm 4'9" so I definitely had to have them. Ordered our cart with it included in the price. Also got seat belts and a 12 volt plug so I can charge my phone or my blue tooth speaker.

We bought one for my 5' wife and used it once.

I just installed a 2x4 with wire ties on the pedal for my 4'9" Mother-in-Law and it works great for her... I have extra 2x4 and wire ties if anyone needs them.

Send me a PM if you need them. I can install it for free.

We were just at Village discount golf carts on 466. They have a nice plastic block that Velcro on and off in a second. Works great!!
