You could replace the PVC pipe with aluminum pipe and remove the excess wood on the front to reduce risk of injury to others. Replace the wooden plank with a stuffed animal, superhero villain. or pool noodle bumper. Widen the undercarriage platform to prevent accidental foot drop and entaglments between the front and rear of the vehicle. Riders should wear helmets. Vehicle should have a safety flag high enough to be seen by motorists turning if the child is on their right and they are making a right turn. The child rider is below the line of sight of a car driver who can not see them over the hood or side of their car if the kid is near. Most fatal road accidents happen near of the home. A bell or horn, lights, and reflectors are good additions but not enough to alert motorists to the presence of a very low height child near them.
For this prototype we didn't need a strap to hold it in place. Even for the final build we still did not need a strap, as the platform holds perfect on its own to matter how many bumps they go over. Video coming soon!
I like it! 👍
