ABSTRACT:
A pedal car having a body with a seat and a steering wheel and rear wheels supported on an axle. Ring gear sectors are supported on the car and connected to two pedals which the rider can oscillate. Two spaced pinions on the axle engage the ring gear at diametrically opposite parts and two one-way clutches connect the axle to the pinions so that the ring gear drives the axle forward when it is oscillated in one direction by pedals and drives the axle forward again. When the ring gear is oscillated in the opposite direction by the other pedal, the axle is rotated again in the same direction.
