    Have any one you had the sheer delight of riding one of these contraptions? I can best describe them as a beetle with wheels, you wiggle the steering wheel to move forward.

    Racing down a hill with my partners 2 children atop of one of these is the most fun I’ve had in years.
    I’ve had such a crappy year, it’s the everyday things like this that really gets you through.

    It even accommodates weights up to 100kg, depending on the surface type

    For that reason, ahm oot 😳

    +1 the small things.

    I can vouch they will take more… Maybe not for prolonged use but the hill i went down on my sons was utterly terrifying yet exhilarating all the while!

    I’m 100% guilty of riding the plasma cars at the toddler playgroup at the local sport center when the supervisors aren’t looking.
    Back when I was a kid, we had friends with a mini theme park and there had a different kind of propelled go-cart. Foot wiggles Iirc.
    Both will go much faster than you expect. Awesome fun!

    Would you think less of me if I confessed that my first thought was, “that would be fun after a few pints?”

    Not at all.

    I’m not saying it’s a good look, but the sheer childlike joy of it all is worth it.

    Planning the first wiggle gp at the moment.

    YES! We have two of the stupendous things. Need a really smooth surface to work properly (not so good on block paving) but they’re great fun.

    Reminds me of pallet truck time trials round the factory I used to work in!

    “that would be fun after a few pints?”

    Usually followed the next morning by some variety or combination of

    ‘ow, that hurts’

    ‘Ooh, email from ebay………how much!!!!?’

    ”where did that bruise come from?’

    and ‘how can i stop the wife from finding out?’

    They are mental fun and you can get a good turn of speed up on them.

    Almost indestructible too.
