The Modified 1950s Ihle Kinder Sport Mercedes-Style Electric Go-Kart is a distinctive and historic vehicle, originally manufactured in Germany around 1955. Resembling a vintage Mercedes-Benz Roadster, this uniquely designed go-kart was previously used as part of a Turnpike amusement park ride before undergoing modifications by a previous owner. The most notable transformation includes the installation of a powerful 48-volt electric motor and rack-and-pinion steering for enhanced maneuverability, alongside disc brakes for improved safety. Originally manufactured in 1950 by Ihle Brothers of Bruchsal, Germany, this iconic vehicle is currently being offered as part of an online auction based in Lakeville, Connecticut, with a current bid of $300 USD.
