Question:

how do people ride a car or motorcycle after they loose a leg?

how do they feel the peddlesgt;and brake? where is the pedal for gas and breaks on a motorcycle

Answer:

aside from being for completely different cars, one kit is a cheaply priced low quality kit, the other is a hugely overpriced low quality kit.
where is the pedal for gas and breaks on a motorcycle ? Generally right hand and right leg are for brakes, right hand throttle, left hand and left foot for clutch and shift lever. But like Jason says, not all are the same and people without certain limbs would simply get their car/bike adapted to suit them
I lost my left leg from the knee down when a car ran a red a light and I hit it. My left leg basically went into my open primary. Since all my bikes are choppers I have since just fabricated a jockey shift with the clutch lever attached to the shifter. I just grab the shifter and pull the clutch at the same time.Another option is an electric shifter. Driving a car is easy if it has an automatic tranny since the gas and brake are operated only with the right foot witch I still have.
Good for you, Jason. Way to stay in the game. Another answer to the motorcycle question would be to go with a trike. On a trike you can move whatever control you need to to the handlebars, or like Jason said, you can move the shifter to the suicide shifter style.
