Hand-Pedal Kids Train Ride History
In the 1940’s-1950’s, “small amusement parks” swept the country. The highlight of the trip to the park for many children was a ride on the self propelled cars also known as a handcar or pedal train. These kiddie train rides were permanently installed at over 400 small and large amusement parks across the country with an estimated 40 million riders served.
Families today are looking for physical interactive children’s entertainment that is healthy, safe and exercises the body and imagination. Families are turning to the local family fun center, backyard entertaining, festivals / picnics, and activity camps to provide this type of entertainment.
We have redesigned the kid-powered ride concept to operate as a mobile or permanent ride that meets all of today’s safety standards (ASTM F63 and ASTM F770) and provides interactive entertainment that exercises the body and imagination.
Our growing customer base includes family fun centers, rental companies, camps, live steam operators, retailers, summer camps and consumers. Our prices start at as little as $1,850 for a starter set.
