Claim 9:
10. A pedal assembly comprising:
a housing having a cavity;
a pedal arm at least partially received in the cavity, the pedal arm having a pedal pad on one end, the pedal arm configured to move within the cavity relative to the housing;
three elongated members positioned within the cavity and each configured to independently deflect upon a movement by the pedal arm caused from a load applied to the pedal pad;
three strain gauge sensors positioned in communication with a respective one of the three elongated members, each of the three strain gauge sensors configured to sense an amount of the deflection of the respective elongated member of the three elongated members; and
a pair of circuit boards, two of the three strain gauge sensors communicatively coupled to the one of the pair of circuit boards and the other strain gauge sensor of the three strain gauge sensors communicatively coupled to the other one of the pair of circuit boards,
wherein when the load is applied to the pedal pad, the pedal arm moves to deflect at least one of the three elongated members which is sensed by the respective strain gauge sensor indicative of the amount of an amount of load applied to the pedal pad.
