At a pedal device, a force applied from a pedal at a time of rotating the pedal moves a first guide portion of a first holder to slide relative to a second guide portion of a second holder in a vehicle front-rear direction, resulting in deformation of a first resilient member. Furthermore, the force applied from the pedal at the time of rotating the pedal moves the second guide portion to slide relative to a third guide portion of a guide member in the vehicle front-rear direction, resulting in deformation of a second resilient member.

Pedal device

A pedal device to be pedaled by a user includes: a pedal supported to be swingable about an axis and to swing toward one side in a circumferential direction about the axis when being pedaled by the user; a housing; a reaction force generation portion disposed in the housing and to apply a force to the pedal toward another side in the circumferential direction; and a stopper. The stopper is arranged outside the housing, to swing about the axis together with the pedal while being supported by the pedal, and to stop the pedal by coming into contact with the housing in a non-pedaled state in which the pedal is not pedaled by the user.
