Highlights & records

The Super-Skooter run by the Ferling family travels to fairs in Hesse. Its Bertazzon Oslo cars combine classic free movement with their own distinctive vehicle design.
Super-Skooter Ferling: Ride in Bertazzon-Oslo cars
On the Super-Skooter, the ride does not follow a set route. Instead, you steer your vehicle around a shared track. Other drivers choose their own routes too. This leads to changing distances, sudden changes of direction and new encounters time and again. An open passage can close within moments. The appeal lies in reacting to what is happening around you and choosing your own course.
The cars are a distinctive feature of Super-Skooter. Ride-Index specifically describes vehicles made by the Italian manufacturer Bertazzon, Oslo model. This sets the fleet apart from other bumper cars, which are equipped with models from the Berlin, New York or Roma ranges, for example. The covered two-column structure also offers a good view of the shared ride area.
The Super-Skooter at the Dippemess
The documented locations for the Ferling-Scooter include Frankfurt's Dippemess. Kirmesecke's ride records list appearances at the Herbstdippemess and the Gießener Herbstmesse in several years. These fairs bring together many different types of rides, and bumper cars are a meeting point for groups where every visitor gets to take part.
The Super-Skooter is part of the long bumper car tradition of the Rhine-Main region. The interplay of music, vehicles and visitors in a shared space is part of a ride on this type of funfair attraction. Unlike a fixed circuit, the movement depends on the decisions of the individual drivers.

History and appearances in Hesse
The Ferling business has its roots in the Rhine-Main area. The specialist Ride-Index database lists the Super-Skooter as a standalone two-pillar ride from Offenbach. Archive photos show it both from 2008 and from more recent times. Its appearances at various fairs have therefore been documented over many years.
The name of the ride is written in the sources both with and without a hyphen. In substance, it refers to the same Super Skooter operated by Ferling. Other showmen also use very similar names for their bumper cars, such as the Diebold family from Augsburg. Their Mack hall has its own history and should not be confused with the Offenbach ride.
