Kids often love to be in the driver’s seat, both literally and metaphorically ! My elder son loved cars when he was little, and he loved driving electric ones too ! The little one could spend hours on the beach with small diggers, so being able to navigate a ” real ” one was a delight !

There are all sorts of options locally for little ones to enjoy being in the driver’s seat : electric cars in closed circuits, karting, quads, electric motos, diggers . . .

And for adults, there are quads to hire for longer randos, and the swincar . . .
