So much fun and great for the whole family to enjoy! Each VeloRail "car" holds 5 passengers of which 2 can trade off pedaling. There must be at least 2 people in order to pedal the car effectively.

There is no need to peddle. Return is on the same track, but you have motor assisted pedals for returning uphill. The scenic view nis...
