Does anyone know where I can get one of the above and/or help with funding, as I know they cost a few hundred! DS's birthday is next month.. he is 5.. and I know he would love something he could ride on in the garden. His legs are weka but he has lots of upper body strength and loves vehicles of all kinds.

I had been promised some info by a local online SN group andhave chased them up twice but no joy and Ds's birthday is fast approaching (18th June).

Would be grateful if anyone has any experience they could share of getting hold of these toys.
