Build a Car
Pedal cars can be built using recycled materials and a bit of imagination. There are plenty of old bikes to be found at the local tip, trash and treasure or garage sales for a small amount of cash – you just have to look. BMX bikes work best for pedal cars but any old bike will do.
Check out the details below for details on how to build your own car!
