This Ihle Kinder Sport amusement park kiddie car was designed to resemble a Mercedes-Benz Roadster, and it was manufactured by Ihle Brothers of Bruchsal, Germany. Previously used as part of a “Turnpike” amusement park ride, the car was modified under prior ownership with the installation of a 48-volt electric motor, rack-and-pinion steering, disc brakes, and chain drive. The metal bodywork is finished in black over a tubular steel frame, and features include 8″ Rudge-style steel wheels, black bumpers and overriders, a grille with a red insert, taillight pods, dual three-spoke steering wheels, and seats trimmed in black and tan upholstery. This Mercedes-style Knder Sport electric go-kart was purchased by the seller in 2023 and is now offered at no reserve in Lakeville, Connecticut, on a bill of sale.
