To decrease load in driving by transmitting the operation in the other direction of an operating lever to a brake pedal with assistance, and by enabling a driver to operate a drive operating part even with a little operating force.
When an operating lever 21 is drawn rearward while gripping the operating part 21a, an accelerator pedal 14 is turned through a wire member 24 in the depressing direction of a pedal part 14b, therefore, the output speed of an engine is increased, and an automobile is accelerated. When the operating lever is pressed forward, an output shaft 28 of a power assist motor device 27 is turned together with a crank part 31 in the assist direction through the rotation, generated by the operating force, of a supporting shaft 20 and the backward movement of a rod 37 in a link mechanism 34, and the brake pedal 17 is pressed by the crank part 31 in the depressing direction. As a result, the turning operation in the pressing direction of the operating lever 21 is assisted and transmitted to a brake pedal 17.
