>>1688121>you did have a couple of these growing up, right?Nah, i'm Scandinavian. We had these "Mooncars", which are build of steel as iron mined by dwarfs from the mountains of Swedish Lappland, elfen forged into steel, to be draged by the Steel Dragons of Firechambers along the silver threads to the capital of raiding men in Denmark, where they where smithed into machines of war and doom.
Seriously, these are not a joke. They're indestructible. In Danish kindergarten tradition (and i'm not joking here) there's the "Mooncar test" when opening a new kindergarden or daycare, in which the kids will ram the facade with new mooncars all day, to see if the construction is up to the task of being a daycare with kids. Safe to say, that timbered US housings will not qualify as a suitable daycare here.

>https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/MooncartestThere's no pedals, no main shaft, no stearing shaft. All stell, all build to endure 100x what a kid can force upon it. The only thing plastic is the seat, and those are changed within 5 minutes. I've even helped doing that when i had a teenage job in a daycare. We just have a box of fresh seats in storage, for whenever they deteriorate or crumble during a particual hard crash.
The company behind them make an adult version too, for the few adults that remain kids all their life. It's so wholesome seeing them in their mooncars, brings me back to childhood - BUT has also made me have this continous idea in the back of my head "what if i electrified such and adult mooncar?"
