Street legal flying cars are nothing new, but this road legal bumper car modeled after a 1953 Lusse Auto Skooter. Dan Hryhorcoff wanted a project to work on during the pandemic, so this idea popped into his head after remembering a vehicle he saw at an amusement park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania called Knoebels.
Power comes from a Chevrolet Aveo-sourced 1.6L 4-cylinder engine making 108 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, while the front of the bumper car is a single motorcycle wheel. This means this street legal bumper can can turn very sharply. It measures 13 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5.5 feet tall, making it twice the size of a standard bumper car that you see in amusement parks, but the pole out back is just for aesthetics.
No products found.
I decided to copy one of those. I measured, and took photos, and made templates, and whatever I needed to, to copy the car as well as I can. Any project I’ve ever chose was a project that I knew I can get through it, but I had something new to learn in the process. There were always some unknowns. I’d rather big projects, rather than a dozen little ones,” said Hryhorcoff.
