An adjustable throttle pedal assembly comprises a depressible throttle pedal, biased away from the depressed position, towards a rest position, and an electro-magnetic brake, operable to adjust the force required to depress the throttle pedal. The electro magnetic brake can provide an increased force so as to act as a “virtual footrest”, a “virtual kick-down switch”, or an “ICE force-indent”. providing an increased force at the point which the vehicle will need to start the internal combustion engine (ICE). Moreover, the electromagnetic brake is adjustable to provide different customisable “pedal-weight” settings, to suit a driver's preferred force feedback. For example, discrete pedal weight settings, may be selectable, with a greater retarding force provided by the electromagnetic brake to provide a firmer weight, or the pedal weight can be customisable and calibrated to a given driver.
