Where is the rear brake pedal located?

• A. In front of the left footrest.
• B. Behind the right footrest.
• C. On the steering head.
• D. In front of the right footrest.

Answer: (D)

The rear brake is controlled by the right foot, so its pedal is placed in front of the right footrest. This setup lets you press the brake with the ball of your right foot while keeping your leg relaxed and your weight centered, which helps you brake smoothly and independently from the front brake (which is operated by the right hand lever). The left foot is typically used for gear changes, not braking, so placing the rear brake in front of the right footrest makes intuitive sense and is common on most motorcycles and mopeds.
