Anyone Own/Operate Happy Rides?

They're pretty new to my area (less then 6 months) but they're BOOMING up here.  Basically they're an electronic little scooter that's shaped like an animal, and kids ride them (although they do support up to 250 pounds).

 

I was curious if anyone operates/owns/works on any of these and what your experience has been?  I've found some that are coin operated and was thinking about getting 2 for my nerf battle arena, but wasn't sure how "temperamental/tipsy/dangerous" they are.  Would love some input/feedback on them :D

I saw a CL ad not too long ago from the twin cities advertising a biz-op style setup for them, though I'm not sure if it was exactly the same thing. I'd think something like that would need to be attended more like a go-kart setup than like a coin-op ride setup, and the insurance can't be cheap on something like that that moves.

 

In all though, that might be the appeal- sort of a "Go-Kart" experience for little kids on a micro scale. From where I'm standing, if the initial investment isn't too crazy expensive, or "too-good-to-be-true" cheap, it's worth a closer look. Hopefully someone with more firsthand experience will chime in too, as I'm intrigued as well.

 

Good luck!
