That shows the Pines pedal car (plastic body). Must have been a prototype because I've never seen one with wire style wheels.

Here's two variations of the VW Beetle Junior Sportsters Young Master Electric and Pedal Car.
The Electric version has Foam Rubber Tires and are smaller in circumference than the Pedal Version.
Also, the Front and Rear Running Lights , Light-up when powered, Pedal version does not.
The Pedal Version had a couple of different Tire variations with them being All Plastic and the later model having Rubber Treading on the outside of Plastic Tire.
*The Yellow beetle pictured is a later model from Rocky Mountain Motors.
The Rechargeable Battery for the Electric Version.

I had one of the pedal ones in red when I was younger and I loved it! One day my mom came outside and i was laying underneath it. I had it up on bricks with all 4 wheels off and the seat out. When she asked me what I was doing I told her that I was changing the battery because it was dead and doing the wheel bearings. Then she went inside to ask my dad where the battery was in the real car and he told her under the back seat. She was amazed that I knew that. I was like 5 |

Heya volky,
Blue Diamond Classics (a division of speedwaymotors.com) has a replacement windshield for AMF 519 that looks to be REALLY close to what you need for that pedal car. See their part number 918-03238. |

| I just bought one of the electric Jr. Sportster's on ebay. I noticed in the pics it needs a front turn signal and the electrics seem to be needing work. Any one have some spare parts for one or parting one out? |

| Not 100% on hubcaps but there are some folk out of Thailand who seem to be either making the bits for these or complete new cars. Just Google it. |

I have had the luck to buy 2 Junior Sportsters in the past months.
Unfortunately, a few parts are missing. I need:
4 hub caps
1 horn button
2 taillights
If someone wants to sell these parts, please contact me.
