Got an itch to build a pedal car for my boy. He's really into tractors right now so i figured id try and make him a lawnmower looking contraption. Got some 13" and 10" tires laying around too so i figured what the hay. My mind is kind of going numb on what the best drive system would be though. Most likely it will just be ridden in the grass but what do you guys think ? just one drive wheel or a live axle ? most likely be chain drive but what gearing do you guys think it should need with a 13" tire ? This thing will likely be a tank compared to conventional pedal cars, just looking for opinions before i get too far ahead of myself :mrgreen:

heres a starting point for reference
