It actually mounts to the rear of the foot break setup - pushing forward on the foot brake setup behind the scenes - it doesn't actually use the "pedal portion". That said, you could remove the "pedal portion" of that brake setup without removing the out of site portion and what they ISCI Handbrake uses. That said, as discussed above and found by "IdahoMtnSpyder" - specifically as written - this would not be legal. I'd be curious to compare this to modifications to an Automobile for hand controls instead of feet controls for those that need it. I'm not sure how this would be different.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Can I remove the footbrake (I have a handbrake) on Spyder RTS.

I believe the laws in your country are the same as those in mine & most other countries about this (in that they pretty much all comply with the International Agreements on Motor Vehicle Design & Manufacture
) - there's no difference between motor cycles & motor cars, or light trucks & heavy trucks for that matter! When you install hand controls in any road going motor vehicle that in it's normal configuration has functions controlled via foot pedals/controls, you are required to maintain the foot controls in full operational condition & the hand controls must be installed in a way that won't impede the operation/use of the vehicle by a fully foot-abled person! :lecturef_smilie:Apart from anything else, this means that anyone who can drive the 'normal' vehicle can still drive the hand control modified vehicle, which amongst other things, effectively means that any service technician can safely drive your vehicle when servicing it, and you aren't restricted to going to a specialist service centre that has techs trained to use the hand controls - any Joe Mechanic can still drive your vehicle. And so can the rest of your family; Police Officers; Accident & Emergency Service members; Tow Operators; Parking Attendants; and all those other people who juuust might have a need at some time to drive/ride your vehicle! :thumbup:

Nope you CANNOT remove the BRAKE pedal in a Car or truck or any other motor veh. .... and I'm very sorry I am not going to look up the various Statutes to verify ..... maybe IMS will :clap::yes: ...... Mike :thumbup:
Surely we have successfully established by now that CAN and SHOULD are different things. Physically - you CAN. As I clarified further in the quoted statement "...That said, as discussed above and found by "IdahoMtnSpyder" - specifically as written - this would not be legal."
Therefore - you CAN do it - you just SHOULDN'T do it since it would not be legal. ;-) I know many people that CAN and also DO things they SHOULDN'T.
