Wireless network, systems and methods for configuration, operation and use of motorized, wheeled aned 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 at least one of plastics, foam, or other molding materials;
• 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;
• a second bracket assembly mounted to said steering handle assembly for rotation about a virtual axis of rotation passing through the vehicle chassis, 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 such that said animal-shaped character head assembly rotates about said virtual axis of rotation in response to rotation of said steering handle assembly;
• an animal body skin covering said vehicle chassis and forming an animal character body portion matching said animal-shaped character head assembly, the animal character body portion further comprising:
• one or more motor-driven body portions configured to be driven into animation;
• a supporting neck-like portion formed by said first and second bracket assemblies on which said animal-shaped character head assembly is mounted;
• a molded plastic component expressing facial and head features of said animal-shaped character head assembly, said molded plastic component being supported by a structural framework about which at least one of plastic, foam or like material is molded;
• and
• wherein said structural framework is configured for releasable mounting to a matching structural framework supported on a steering column of said vehicle chassis.
