Lusse Auto Skooter Trivia:
The Lusse Auto Skooter is arguably the best bumper car ever made. Riders and rink operators agree - they bumped harder, turned
quicker and went faster - and with superb style. The cars truly lived up to the slogan Everybody has more fun with a Lusse Auto Skooter!
The end result of the ride: leaving a smile on your face. By the 1930s Lusse had settled into a long period of prosperity that was only briefly
interrupted by World War II. Postwar cars began to include some minor changes including headlights, fiberglass bodies, air-filled bumpers
instead of rubber and, finally, safety harnesses. They retained 110-volt AC power long after the rest of the industry settled on 90-volt DC.
Dodgem went out of business in the early 1970s, and the competition began to shift overseas, particularly to Italy. The three Italian brands,
Soli, Barbieri, and Berratzon, used variations of the Lusse front-drive system. Most of them moved the motor to a position inside a
somewhat larger front wheel. This eliminated both the torque effects and the 360-degree steering of the Lusse design.
