During the days of the old Soviet Union, that nation actually produced more than a few pretty good pedal cars. Oh, sure that country never became the promised "worker's paradise", but these cool pedal cars still look like tons of fun. Many a future Young Pioneer had a grand old time in one of these as a child. Even Josef Stalin couldn't erase the smile that these little pedal cars once made(except for that one kid!).
