According to the UK's Metropolis Daily, during the lockdown, a father from Lex County, England, made a working remote-controlled children's truck for his 3-year-old son Alfie Hull. The truck looks like the classic Eddie Stobart car. Dan used an old motor scooter to build the car for raw materials, with the logo "AH" printed on it (the abbreviation of Alfie Hull's name) and a trailer made of old recycled household items on the back. The truck is about 6 meters long and weighs about 200 kg, and the manufacturing cost is about £200, but it is mainly assembled from recycled materials.
45-year-old Dan is a courier and a certified electrician. He said: "I always like to make something by myself and want to make a car for my son. My son is also very interested in trucks, so I started working on this project. The car is completely controlled by radio and has a speed of about 7 miles per hour. Alfie likes to sit in the car, while I sit in the trailer behind. Alfie is too small to drive, and the car is very heavy, so the car is completely controlled by me. Alfie likes this car very much and wants to drive around as soon as it is done. There are people nearby who come to see our car."
Dan also learned the skills of making various things from his father, and he hopes to pass on this hobby to Alfie. Dan's wife Marian fully supports her husband's hobbies and even supports him turning the kitchen into a workshop. Dan said: "She supports me very much. When I first started building cars, I didn't have a decent workshop, so I used the kitchen as a workshop. Now we put the truck in the garage." Dan also announced the specific steps for him to make the truck online. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
