What are Dodgems and Bumper Cars?
If you're not sure what the difference is between dodgems and bumper cars, the two funfair rides are are similar, but not exactly the same. Dodgems are usually larger and faster than bumper cars, and have more realistic designs. Bumper cars are smaller and slower, and have more padding and inflatable features. Bumper cars are also more suitable for younger children, as they are safer and softer.
This fun and boisterous ride is a popular attraction for people of all ages and are often enjoyed by families, groups of friends, and couples looking for a fun and unique date experience.
How the Dodgems are powered
Dodgem cars are electrically powered and are equipped with rubber bumpers around the car's edges. The vehicles have a pole that touches the ceiling, which supplies them with power.
The ride starts when the operator switches on the power supply, sending an electric current through the fairground ride. This current flows through the cars, which are fitted with conductive wheels that make contact with the ride's floor and connects to the grid on the roof. This creates an electrical circuit that powers the motors that drive the cars.
As racers speed and crash into each other, the rubber bumpers around the car's edges protect riders from getting hurt when they shunt into someone else.
