EtymologyThe term "billycart" originates from the Australian billygoat-pulled cart of the 1880s. Originally, a simple platform with four wheels and a moveable front steering column, the billycart was adapted to become a self-powered vehicle which children would race; the challenge being, to travel as fast and/or far as possible with the least initial momentum.[1] ConstructionUsing timber from Australian renewable forests, this current model billycart has four wheels, a fixed rear axle and a steerable front beam axle, actuated by a hand held rope. The seat area is enclosed; designed for both safety and aesthetics. Unpowered, the billycart is designed to be pushed by a friend or run down a suitable slope. Users of this particular model claim Linear Park in Adelaide may be the perfect track.[2] CompanyBillycart Kids employs Orana at their Port Pirie factory to hand drill, route and hand paint each piece to make every billycart unique.[3] Billycart Kids claim to be the only company in the world to ship this kind of product to consumers. The billycart comes as a flat pack and requires assembly.[4] EventsOn 28 March 2010, Billycart Kids sponsored the first Sodexo Roxby Billycart Bash, in Roxby Downs. The event saw over a hundred downhill racers hurtle down the only hill in town in homemade or purchased billycarts.[5] The event raised money for the Roxby Downs Health Service Auxiliary.[6] Models
