Vineyard Racer

Do you know the feeling when you are walking through a department store, a supermarket or across a fair trade and you suddenly find yourself in front of something you just ‘want to have’? Then you can roughly recreate what we were doing during our walk over the InterClassics in Maastricht when we suddenly stopped in front of the Vineyard Racer. Although these small vehicles look classic, they are a new development of a manufacturer with the same name from Boxtel in the Netherlands.

From the dreams of his four-year-old son, the boss created something new. His son wanted a car of his own. One that could drive properly and in which he would fit well. The team approached this project with much creativity and created a vehicle based on an old wine barrel with electric drive as a one-off. Fueled by the overwhelming response of other parents and especially other children, the further developed the Vineyard Racer and now offer it in three different versions. All receive four wheelbarrow wheels, a classic folding tank lid, a steel steering wheel and LED headlights.

D Racer

The D Racer is a pure object for decoration without drive or steering system. In addition to car enthusiasts probably also wine shops, restaurants or caterers will keep an eye on this variant of the Vineyard Racer. After all, it is an excellent possibility for advertising – even with the youngest clientele and the children of the customers. The D Racer costs 495.03 € net. With Dutch taxes (21%) it is 599 € in the online shop of the manufacturer.

W Racer

Also the W Racer only moves forward with muscle power. It is a cart or kids wagon, which can accomodate up to two children. Whether on a walk, on a trip through the park or just on the playground, the W Racer causes a stir everywhere. Its price is 663.33 € net, or 799 € including 21% Dutch VAT in the online shop.

E Racer

Last but not least, the E Racer is available with electric drive by an electric motor and lithium batteries. 15 kph (9.3 mph) are possible as topspeed. As soon as the driver releases the throttle pedal, the vehicle brakes automatically. In the online shop you’ll find the E Racer at a price of 1,799 € (including 21% Dutch VAT).
