A modular pedal assembly for use with a vehicle that includes a prime mover, a control circuit, and a brake assembly. The modular pedal assembly including a base that is removably connectable with the vehicle, a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal that is displaceable between a first position and a second position, and a control output regulator that includes a first sensor and a second sensor. In a vehicle having an electric motor prime mover, the first sensor is a limit switch electrically connected to the control circuit, and the second sensor is a variable resistor. In a vehicle having an internal combustion engine prime mover, the first sensor is a limit switch operable to control a starter motor, and the second sensor is a limit switch operable to control a spark plug ignition.

Modular pedal assembly for vehicles

A golf accessory for attaching to an accessory mounting system of a golf car. The accessory mounting system including a bracket that is configured to connectably receive the golf accessory and a mount for attachment to the golf car and configured to connectably receive the bracket. The mount including a base that has a generally vertical surface, an aperture extending generally horizontally into the base from the vertical surface and configured to receive a portion of a fastener coupled with the bracket, and a slotted opening extending into the base and configured to receive a portion of the bracket. The base including a generally horizontal surface and the slotted opening extends generally vertically into the base from the horizontal surface. The golf accessory including a golf-related item, and means for connecting the golf-related item to the bracket.

Universal accessory mounting system for golf cars and utility vehicles

A housing () is for containing an energy source (), such as a fuel tank, battery or fuel cell, and other power system components of a vehicle having a seat (). The housing includes a body (), preferably a generally rectangular box, connectable with the vehicle and configured to support the seat. The body has an interior space sized to receive the energy source and the other power system components, such that the energy source and other components are supported by the body, including when the body is unconnected with the vehicle.

Housing for vehicle power systems

An accessory mounting system is for attaching at least first and second accessories to a vehicle. A first bracket is configured to connectably receive the first accessory and a second bracket is configured to connectably receive the second accessory. The second bracket has a configuration substantially different than the first bracket. A mount is coupled with the vehicle and is configured to connectably receive the first bracket to attach the first accessory to the vehicle and to alternatively connectably receive the second bracket to attach the second accessory to the vehicle. The mount preferably includes a base coupled with the vehicle and at least one and preferably two apertures extending into the base, each configured to receive a fastener coupled with the accessory. A slotted opening extends into the base, is spaced below the apertures, and configured to receive a portion of either an accessory or a bracket connected therewith.

A support device is for a vehicle having a body, a roof spaced above the body and a seat back. The support device includes a base or body connectable with the vehicle and having a mounting portion configured for attachment of the seat back and a recess providing a storage space. A roof support has a first end connected with the base and a second end connectable with the roof. The roof support is configured to retain the roof spaced generally above a remainder of the vehicle. Preferably, the roof support includes two struts extending between the base and the roof, the base transferring the weight of the roof from the struts and to the vehicle body. Preferably, the struts each include a fluid passage extending between the roof and the base, the passage being configured to discharge fluid beneath the vehicle body.

Support device for vehicles

A golf car () or utility vehicle having a composite body (). In some aspects of the invention, the golf car or utility vehicle has a composite body assembly that includes a front clam shell assembly () and a rear shell-like body (). In other aspects, the golf car or utility vehicle includes a composite body assembly having a periphery () and one or more decorative body panels (), the decorative body panels being recessed inwardly relative to the composite body assembly periphery to prevent impacts to the panels.
