Abstract
Footpad assemblies of the present disclosure include a footpad configured to be coupled to a frame of an electric vehicle and a foot engagement structure coupled to the footpad. The foot engagement structure is configured to contact the rider's foot to prevent undesired movement of the rider's foot during use of the electric vehicle. The footpad includes a recess defined in an upper surface of the footpad and an insert is disposed in the recess and coupled to the footpad. The insert is operatively coupled to the foot engagement structure. The foot engagement structure may comprise a foot stop extending above the footpad and configured to abut a side portion of the rider's foot and/or a traction insert configured to contact a bottom of the user's foot to provide grip or traction. The position and rotational orientation of the foot stop relative to the footpad is configured to be adjustable by a user.
