1917 saw the first mass produced pedal car manufactured by a company called Cyclops.
 Before this time Australian children had to rely on mostly imported pedal cars, mainly from the English firm Lines Bros.
 There were of course pedal cars available in the "Do it yourself form" or by small independent companies.
 Cyclops rapidly progressed into a Australia's largest Pedal Car Manufacturer, and by the 1930's were joined by another company "Peerless"
 By the late 1940's Cyclops and Peerless were household names and with the demise of the Peerless company in 1951, Cyclops virtually had the monopoly on Pedal cars, scooters and the ever reliable Dinky. It was during the 50's until the 70's that made Cyclops an Australian icon, for ask any child from any era, and they will say they grew up with a Cyclops!
 There are many little known Pedal car manufactures and we will continue research so that we can eventually recognize them.
 During the 1950's seem to be a boom time in children's toys, that is to say that many manufacturers made pedal cars for extra income, for example C.C.M.C. was a company that made Buses, but dabbled in the making of pedal cars, and it has been discovered that General Motors Holden also made a few pedal cars. This not to mention the many one-off's that have been produced, which is why occasionally pedal cars turn up that are unidentifiable .
 Pedalmania  will continue to research the many makes and models of pedal cars that exist today.
 If you have any knowledge or old photos we would like to here from you.
 

In 1944 the Labor Goverment's conviction was that the Australian automotive industry take the next step in producing a local car manufacturer and also seen as a step forward in in our national defence capabilities but first why not make a pedal car!
