Articulating footrests for vehicles
An articulating footrest mechanism pivotally attached to a vehicle that is adapted for transportation and recreation of all types. The articulating footrest mechanism has a top and bottom horizontal arm, or two top and two bottom horizontal arms pivotally attached to a vehicle frame section at footrest level and adapted to move freely in a circumferential nature around fulcrums located at midpoint of each arm. The articulating footrest mechanism includes two or four vertical footrest arms connected to the top and bottom horizontal arm ends with fasteners inserted through fulcrums that comprise of roller bearings or lubricated sleeves. Footrests such as bicycle pedals, motorcycle style pegs or ATV type platforms of any size or shape fix to the left and right vertical footrest arm or arms to support the weight of a human being thereon.
