In more Moza-based Gamescom 2024 news, the Chinese manufacturer has released early details on its plans to tackle the active pedal sector in sim racing.
Its new mBooster Active Pedals are set to provide haptic feedback through the soles of customers in future, taking on similar examples from the likes of Simucube, Simagic and P1 Sim in the process.
Moza’s mBooster Active Pedals operate via vibration-producing motors in the brake and accelerator pedals, mimicking the feel of real-world vehicle ABS and traction control activation. The set will also feature dual 200kg load cells and a spring-less action.
Simucube’s ActivePedal is an industry leader in this regard, also forgoing springs and elastomers to produce a maintenance-free haptic pedal solution for an eye-watering €2478,76.
Asetek has also teased an upcoming active pedal system that can be retrofitted to its existing Invicta pedals.
Moza’s example is more likely to compete with the likes of the P1 Sim Mistral, Simagic P1000-RS Pedal and Fanatec’s ClubSport V3 Pedals, which can all be obtained for well under £1,000 / $1,000 / €1,000, including hydraulic variants.
Pricing, availability and the mBooster Active Pedals’ full specifications are unknown at this stage, but we will update this article when Moza formally announces more details. The company has also unveiled a steering wheel that replicates Porsche’s Mission R concept.

One more prove that Moza is taking Sim Racing for serious!!
There’s no denying that, the Moza sim racing lineup at gamescom is gargantuan!
I really hope Moza will make these active pedals affordable.
$200- $350 US is a fair price if you ask me.
Charging $2000 for 2 base pedals is just evil.
Only rich people and professional racers can justify that kind of ridiculous disgraceful price.
Keeping the pedals affordable so more sim-racers can utilize this hardware tech advancement will naturally bring more people to Moza.
People like myself are loyal to companies that care about their customers. I have been with Fanatec forever and I am displeased with the customer service and the pricing of their products. They are taking advantage of their loyal customers. I get making a profit is the goal, but delivering the best products at a reasonable price should also be possible.
$1000 to $2000 for a sim-racing steering wheel or pedals is just ridiculous.
90% of sim-racers are normal people who race as a hobby and work normal jobs. We can’t justify buying a BMW GT3 replica steering wheel for $2000 or paying $2000 for active pedals which are new today but we all know this will be the standard for all future top teir pedal sets at a normal cost.
Here’s hoping!
Fanatec going bankrupt probably will not lead to lower prices? Perhaps they’re running their business poorly but it may be a sign the tech is simply more expensive than planned.
home made open source active pedal is nearly $500 … i don’t think is possible to have a pedal less than $600-$800

Look at it this way: This why the VW group offers the Polo to us normal people but also has the Bugatti for the wealthy. In the same way, we’ve got affordable pedal options from Moza but these are not for us.
That’s a good way to look at it. There’s definitely space on my driveway for a Bugatti though!
