The proposed concept is a construction toy for kids that enables them to build and personalize their own pedal or self-powered ride-on vehicle. The construction toy is a kit that consists of the basic mechanical, structural and aesthetical building blocks for building a variety of ride-on vehicles. There are many construction and building toys, and ride-on vehicle toys on the market, but none exists that combines the two effectively. The toy is targeted for children, mainly boys, between the ages of 4 to 10.
The price point is set to compete with the motor powered prefabricated ride-on vehicle toys. The specific goals of the thesis topic include overcoming social, economical, and safety issues associated with the popularization of toys that do not promote physical activity amongst kids.
