The latest gadget appearing on Firebox is called the Didicar. It’s part of their Firetots range (gadgets for kids) and if you have a potential Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button on your hands then they’ll just love their own Didicar.

The Didicar, named after a Chinese piglet according to Firebox, is a go-kart tricycle type toy that is powered by wiggle power. There are no pedals, chains or batteries - it just moves along purely by moving the steering wheel from side to side. Firebox tell us that it moves because the downward force is being transformed into forward motion.

The Didicar is not brand new and has been around for a couple of the years, at least in The US. A quick look on Youtube and you can find videos showing a Swaycar, Twistcar or Gyro Car. All look like Didicars, but only Didicars have the Didicar name!

The Didicar can be used indoors and outdoors (preferably indoors) and it can even be personalised with sticker packs. It looks a lot of fun, but will 2009 be the year of the Didicar?

It looks like a fun toy (for both kids and adults) and it’s a great way to get the kids outdoors, but with bikes, trikes and go-karts to compete with we think the Didicar will need some serious publicity (or character endorsement) to really become a must have toy come Christmas time.
