A vehicle pedal for a motor vehicle that includes a base plate, which may be attached to the body of the motor vehicle, a pedal plate, which is configured to absorb a mechanical force from a driver and which is pivotable relative to the base plate, and at least one hinge via which the base plate and the pedal plate are coupled with each other in a pivoting manner. The vehicle pedal also includes a spring unit, which is coupled with the pedal plate and extends in parallel or essentially in parallel to the pedal plate, and a lever unit, which is coupled with the spring unit and includes a lever arm and a sensor. The mechanical force may be transferred to the sensor of the lever unit via the spring unit and the lever arm of the lever unit. The sensor converts the mechanical force into electrical force.
