Recycling Dodgems

[Andy Meads]

Someone sent me this - apparently, some guy in California salvages old dodgems and makes these out of them. They are powered by bike engines and are pretty quick. Not sure what the handling would be like, mind. Nice one for a Friday, I thought.

I posted about spotting one on the m1 a few months back. There is also a story on The Sun website with pictures

The M1? That's brave!

I want one!

They're awesome!

I think that if I was going to go to all the trouble of building one, I'd make the effort to get them a bit lower and have a bit of handling.

It'll be easier to do it the way they have, just build a chassis and put any dodgem on top, but FFS, do it properly!

Do a search on here , yes it's working, and find a thread that's called dodgem on the m1, or something like that. The one I saw was nice and original looking. On my phone and cannot post a link

Will do. I did search "dodgem" before posting this, but got now't. Might be incompetence on my part.

I'm just glad, in this day and age, that there are people who do this stuff. A bit of light relief.

Cannot find it on google now. Will post a pic when I get to a pc

If you google road legal dodgem Wales it should be the second result on google

Got a couple of 70s dodgem, made one into a dog-gem dog bed.
