Abstract
A pedal pad includes a tread portion depressed by a driver, is fixed to a pad holder, and is displaced together with the pad holder with respect to a support when depressed. A load sensor is fixed to the pad holder and detects a pedal effort of the driver acting on the pedal pad. A pedal effort transmission member includes a pressing portion that presses the load sensor to transmit the pedal effort to the load sensor, and is placed between the tread portion and both the load sensor and the pad holder, and pressed by the tread portion. The pedal pad holds the pedal effort transmission member against the pad holder so that the pressing portion is pressed against the load sensor by the elastic deformation of the pedal pad when the depression operation is not performed.
