This is the ride-on pedal car that evokes the bygone era when automobiles were hand-cranked and frozen novelties were truly novel. Young confections peddlers provide pedal power while ringing the included bell to ratchet-up a neighborhood’s anticipation that, indeed, the ice cream truck is coming. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, it has headlights, fenders, and running boards common to the classic cars of the 1920s—including a faux hand crank that would have started the engine of a truck from the era. Its chassis is made from sturdy powder-coated steel, it rolls smoothly on rubber tires, and its pedals adjust for a comfortable fit. A cargo area behind the seat provides enough space for toys or actual frozen treats to be dispensed with delight.
