Claim:
1. A foot rest system for use with a motor-driven vehicle, comprising: a foot rest member, having a first end and a second end, the foot rest member coupled at the first end via at least one pivotable connection to a foot rest frame member, the foot rest frame member attachable to a motor-driven vehicle frame component; a biasing member that biases the foot rest member about the at least one pivotable connection from the first position to the second position; and a remotely actuated retention mechanism that includes an actuator disposed remote from the foot rest member and which maintains the foot rest member in the first position and, when remotely actuated using the actuator, releases the foot rest member from the first position so that a biasing force of the biasing member causes the foot rest member to pivot about the at least one pivotable connection.
