There is provided an inexpensive pedal device in a compact and simple configuration of the one-pedal scheme, wherein the pedal device may be attached to an existing brake pedal without remodeling the brake pedal, wherein the pedal device does not cause the pedal stepping surface to project toward a driver, wherein an accelerator and a brake are operable with the driver's right heel in contact with the floor, wherein upon braking the pedal device always operates toward a direction to close the accelerator, and wherein the pedal device allows some deviation of a pedal-stepping position. A pedal device, comprising: a frame consisting of a bracket attachable to an existing brake pedal, and a base projecting rightward from the bracket; an accelerator pad attached to an upper surface of the base so that the accelerator pad is smoothly slidable rightward and leftward through a slide mechanism provided on the upper surface of the base; and a transmission unit for transmitting a position of the accelerator pad to an accelerator device of a vehicle, wherein the base is sloped downward toward the bracket, wherein the accelerator pad is shaped so that its stepping surface is not higher than a stepping surface of the brake pedal when the accelerator pad is at its leftmost position, wherein the accelerator pad comprises a biasing unit for biasing the accelerator pad leftward, and wherein the base is provided on the bracket at an angle so that the right end of the base is closer to a driver.
