If you look at Honda's latest design patent without any context, it might bring about a sense of nostalgia for Vespas and Lambrettas of old, both of which used a foot pedal to operate the rear brake, like most motorcycles. But that's not what this is.
The floor-mounted pedal in this patent is actually an accelerator like you'd find in a car. I know, it's sacrilege. But, and stay with me, it might get more people on two wheels.
