My Spouse and I enjoyed our rhoades car for years, we had a custom built wood trunk on it and would take it to the farmers market and grocery shopping in general. My family and I bought it as a surprise for her and we went from our wedding to our reception in it.

We averaged around 12mph, top speed on flat ground 25mph, I've gone 31mph. I never had any issues with it stopping. I'd still be riding it but I abused it a few too many times (it is not meant for drifting, a past time I thoroughly enjoyed using it for, and I did taco a rim). It being around 16 years old means my rims are a bit shot now. It has sat for about two years now since I haven't figured out how to replace them and Rhoades wanted more than I felt was reasonable. Either way, it is a very fun around town vehicle. I outfitted it with a fun car horn and we have real front and rear lights, powered by a car battery.

Per the original thread, they are very much boat seats and can be replaced for around $20 from an Outdoor store.
