When a large group of deaf children posed for pictures with Mangum’s wagon, “that was a thrilling thing to see,” he said. He raised the frozen ride on toy driver’s seat about 8 inches, so he can see over the steel sides of the wagon, and installed extensions for the foot pedals. (He’s thinking of raising the steering wheel, too.) The three bench seats for passengers are raised 12 inches from the floor and have seat belts installed.
There are two models, both very retro styled, offering pedal assist and a throttle. The $1800 M880 is a mid-tail cargo bike, capable of hauling 300 pounds. It has five-level pedal assist, an LCD display with an odometer, a 500-watt rear hub motor, both a brake and an LED headlight, and a 48-volt, 720-watt-hour battery.
To mimic the original wagon’s rounded corners, Mangum split a length of large pipe four ways and welded a piece in each corner. He made a foldable black tongue with a handle that extends 12 feet above the ground.

Mangum wanted his to accomodate more passengers, so he started with a 1987 Ford ambulance equipped with a police package.
