A headboard may often be complemented by a footboard for aesthetic balance. The saddle and spacious footboard provided rider comfort. A footboard placed around the piano pedals was used to play the effects. The footboard featured similar, though more simply-carved, images. One Boston critic denounced "The Last Supper" as "a footboard for the devil's bed". The arms are repeated on the footboard. However, an underbone does not have a footboard, and is therefore not a scooter. In some countries, footboard pilots are outlawed for safety reasons, and have been removed.
