Many amusement parks continue operating bumper cars for 10 years or even longer. However, when essential components fail and the original manufacturer is no longer available, operators often face a difficult question: replace the entire ride or simply replace the worn-out parts?
Recently, one of our long-term customers from Russia chose the second option once again.
From Exhibition Meeting to Long-Term Cooperation
Our cooperation with this customer began at the 2025 Russia Spring Amusement Expo, where we introduced our bumper cars and spare parts solutions.
A few months later, in July 2025, the customer contacted us because several bumper cars in their amusement park had stopped working. These rides had been purchased from another manufacturer many years earlier, but the original supplier could no longer provide replacement parts or technical support.
After understanding the condition of the equipment, we recommended compatible replacement components, including:
- Bumper car drive motors
- Rectifiers
- Carbon brushes
- Springs
- Other electrical and mechanical spare parts
After receiving the shipment, the customer successfully repaired four bumper cars that had been out of service for more than six months.
Instead of investing in new rides, they restored the existing equipment at a much lower cost and quickly put the rides back into operation.
Another Order After Proven Results
The successful repair gave the customer confidence in both our products and technical support.
Recently, they contacted us again because several additional bumper cars had developed similar problems after years of continuous operation.
This time, the customer ordered four complete sets of bumper car core replacement components, allowing them to repair multiple vehicles at the same time.
In addition to the main repair kits, they also purchased multiple sets of commonly used spare parts, including wear components that are frequently replaced during daily maintenance.
Keeping these parts in stock means future repairs can be completed immediately without waiting for international shipping, helping minimize ride downtime during the operating season.
Compatible Spare Parts for Different Bumper Car Brands
One challenge many operators face is that the original manufacturer has stopped producing parts or is no longer in business.
At Hooplo Rides, we regularly help customers solve this problem.
Our engineering team can recommend compatible replacement parts for many bumper car models based on photos, dimensions, specifications, and existing components.
Whether the equipment was originally purchased from us or another manufacturer, we do our best to help customers find suitable solutions whenever compatible parts are available.
Supporting Customers Beyond New Equipment Sales
This repeat order reflects something we value highly—long-term customer support.
Our goal is not only to manufacture new amusement rides but also to help customers keep their existing equipment running safely and efficiently.
From supplying individual spare parts to complete repair kits, we provide practical solutions that help operators reduce downtime and maximize the value of their investments.
As this Russian customer has experienced, reliable spare parts and responsive service can bring aging bumper cars back to life and keep them operating for many more seasons.
If your bumper cars are experiencing electrical or mechanical problems, or you can no longer obtain original spare parts from the manufacturer, feel free to contact Hooplo Rides. Our team will help you identify compatible replacement components and provide a practical repair solution for your equipment.
