Wireless network, systems and methods for configuration, operation and use of motorized, wheeled and steerable passenger-carrying carts for entertainment purposes

An electrically-powered entertainment vehicle system comprising:

• an animal-shaped character head assembly formed about a first bracket assembly and fabricated using plastics, foam and/or other molding materials;
• and
• a vehicle chassis supporting a set of front wheels connected to a framework by way of steering linkage, and a set of rear wheels operably connected to the framework and driven by an electric motor and a power train;
• a steering handle assembly connected to said steering linkage, and about which a second bracket assembly is mounted for rotation about a virtual axis of rotation passing through the vehicle chassis;
• wherein said first bracket assembly and said second bracket assembly are releasably connected together, so as to allow said animal-shaped character head assembly to rotate about said virtual axis of rotation as said steering assembly is rotated to steer the course of travel of said electrically-powered entertainment vehicle system during system operation;
• and
• an animal body skin covering said vehicle chassis and forming an animal character body portion generally matching with the characteristics of said animal-shaped character head assembly;
• wherein said animal character body portion further comprises a motor-driven tail portion and a motor-driven chest portion, each adapted for being driven into animation during vehicle operation to emulate animal-like behavior.
