Due to the high price of permanent hand control systems on the market today, Rick Judson, inventor and owner of Peddle Master, created a more versatile, inexpensive, and portable product back in 1991, incorporating it in 1993.
"I wanted to create something that I could safely use anywhere, in any car with an automatic transmission. A device that wouldn't limit my freedom or independence, and most of all, wouldn't cost me thousands of dollars to install," says Rick. "After others saw the product I invented, they wanted it too, so I designed and developed the Peddle Master, launching it back in 1993. Since then, we have sold over 3,000 Peddle Masters worldwide."
Peddle Master has been evaluated and tested by Louisiana Tech University, and was determined to be the most user friendly of any hand control device on the market. It was also evaluated and tested by the UVA, the University of Virginia Auto Safety Laboratory for durability and use in the automobile industry. We are SAE (Society of Automobile Engineers) tested and approved. Peddle Master is safe, government and time tested to last a lifetime.
Peddle Master is manufactured in the United States.
Peddle Master can be installed and removed while in the driver's seat in a matter of seconds. No tools are necessary. Peddle Master gives the physically challenged driver the option of test driving any car he/she wishes to purchase and can be also used in rental cars.
Only 20 to 30 percent of the world's airports offer handicap vehicles for rent. The lightweight (2 lbs.) and portable Peddle Master can be taken with you in your suitcase or carry-on, so physically challenged drivers have the option of renting any car that fits his/her needs.
