    Remember Amusement Park Bumper Cars? Now You Can Own One!

    Last year at the Day of Play Toy Event people loved the Flybar Kid Bumper Car. Yes, a kid-sized version of a bumper car just like you'd find at an old time amusement park! They were so popular they made the list of “Hottest Toys of 2021” list. Even though it was designed for kids the folks at the Flybar booth said adults tried to get in one! There were many requests for a bigger 'adult-sized' bumper car. We worked long and hard and yes, we were able to built on! Meet the Flybar Bumper Car XL! This bumper car seats two kids or one adult and reaches a maximum speed of 3 mph. It is made with a soft rubber bumper that protects walls and furniture. It's joy-stick driven with a joystick for the right and the left hand. I drove one at the toy event and they are great fun! It even has flashing LED lights that reflect down on the floor. With a capacity of 200 pounds, it can hold one adult or two kids. They're powered by a 6 volt battery and on a full charge will run for about 25 minutes. John, one of the company execs said: “Believe me 25 minutes will be a lot playing in one of these cars”. Of course for max fun, you'll need to have at least two of these Flybar Bumper Car XL.
