Bumper cars rocky approved

[Bob K]

We were gonna put these on Go Kart chassis and use them at campgrounds etc. Well life and other shit got in the way but mostly lack of ambition and old age.

All of the real heavy electrical shit is gone, we still have the poles that stick up out of the back of the unit and all of the steering stuff and trim, there are no cracks in the fiberglass and they are very solid.

Would make a nice project.

Pick up only, I am 3 hours straight north of Milwaukee, 4 hours straight east of Minneapolis/St Paul.

Maybe this guy would be interested if you can find out who he is.

Street-Legal Bumpers Cars

They are built around vintage bumper car bodies, although with a custom frame, leather interior and motorcycle engine. There are at least eight of these little beasties on the road, all owned by the same family.

Lusse Auto Scooters in St. George, Utah reports that they've sold several vintage Auto Scooter bumper cars "to this really cool guy in San Diego. He had the knack to retrofit these with 750cc Kawasaki motors and make them street legal."

The tiny vehicles began to attract serious attention in mid 2006. After numerous queries from readers, the San Diego Weekly Reader revealed, "The whole thing started a few decades ago, when the Long Beach Pike amusement park closed.

A car collector bought one of the park's bumper cars, planning to renovate it into a conversation piece for his family room. That idea went the way of most expensive, elaborate, guy-type brainstorms. The car just sat in his collection, collecting dust. But along comes our particular North County tinkerer.

The bumper car reminded him of his growing-up days on the ride at the Pike. He spent many happy hours bashing into friends and strangers there, maybe in that exact car! Of course, there's no use fighting nostalgia. He takes the bumper car off the collector's hands, intending to turn it into a conversation piece for his family room.

Here's where we separate the ordinary thinkers from the visionaries. The collector was just a collector; but the tinkerer was a true car nut and decided the bumper car had to be reworked into a self-powered fun ride for the grandkids.

Fifty thousand dollars later, he had his car and the kids had the coolest grandpa on the block. It was so much fun he made seven more from cars originally used at amusement parks in Petaluma, Coney Island, Atlanta, Detroit, Germany, and Austria.

They're powered by Yamaha and Kawasaki engines; the original Harleys shook the cars too badly and had to be replaced."
