pedal cars!!!!

[Fv2]

Alas, no- most 'Adult' Pedal Cars are nearly $2000-$3000 range...

One possible exception might be this site:

Costs range from a Parts Kit at under $450 (plus buying PVC and investing sweat) to under $20 for the plans alone and trusting yourself to manufacture a few bits yourself) The DIY cars on display at the site are mostly PVC, bicycle parts, a few homemade brackets...and sweat.

Mind you, if we go DIY we could do worse than a Mochet:

Anyone want to translate the plans from French?

Here's an updated Pedal car inspired by the Fantom:

DIY might be the way to go, here.

I've seen things like the Rhodes car, took one for a drive once. It was really heavy, but the electric assist was nice.
I actually got americanspeedster plans as a birthday gift a few years ago, just never built one.

My hope of finding a pedicar for $500 came from the video saying they cost that much, but with only 20 of those made I'm not likely to ever see one in person.

Oh, and before I forget, we have RRB's own Plycar working on a nice Pedal car as well:

Still can't wait to see the Mk II in action, and the MK I is awesome in it's own right.

Yes I am following this build, it looks to be very cool so far.
