Re: Pedal Cars

Recently this cute little pedal car came up for sale and I grabbed the opportunity, had been looking for one for a long time.

It certainly looks period and is largely intact except for certain minor issues , steering wheel is missing and can be found or easily fabricated, the pedal mechanism is all there, seat frame will have to be fabricated.

I don't know the make , hopefully someone here can shed some light.
The car weighs around 9 Kgs, and looks pretty like this, cant make up my mind right now, whether to restore it or keep it like this.

Looks like it is modelled on the Rytecraft Scootacar / Special

Though a bit late still, nice find, IMO this weathered look suits the (pedal) car.

I too got lucky as recently something interesting came my way and I bought it, it seems like a locally assembled car, actually its a JEEP

Will post pics by weekend.

I am now thinking of restoring the pedal car, don't think it will last very long if I don't restore. Look forward to your pictures !

Meanwhile here is a J40, soon to be restored in Jaipur.

Looking forward to the restoration, best of luck. BTW just out of curiosity, from where can those type of tyres be sourced ?

Anyway, here are some pics of the pedal car.


PS: Kindly ignore the messy background of store room.

Re: Pedal Cars

This Jaipur based pedal car, very similar to the one I own should be seen at the Jaipur rally this year.

Re: Pedal Cars

From a coffee table book on Vijay Mallya, here he is aged 4 years, sitting in a Ferrari pedal car purchased by his father from Italy. His father was noted to be very strict, but obviously had great taste.

Pedal Cars-nawanagar-electric-car-1938.jpg

The Nawanagar Lanchester "electric" pedal car, 1938.


This is different from the famous Nawanagar Rytecraft we have seen before:
