My name is Mason Clark, I’m the founder of Handcar Tours in Marina, California. 

00:07.000 --> 00:12.000
I graduated Cal Poly Pomona in 2019 as a Mechanical Engineer.

00:12.000 --> 00:14.000
I started out this really fun business 

00:14.000 --> 00:16.000
where people get to ride on handcarts 

00:16.000 --> 00:19.000
similar to this but a more modern version. 

00:19.000 --> 00:23.000
A version that I created as a student at Cal Poly

00:23.000 --> 00:25.000
Customers get to ride,

00:25.000 --> 00:28.000
you basically pull with your hands push with your feet. 

00:28.000 --> 00:29.000
It’s like a mowing machine 

00:29.000 --> 00:31.000
and you get to go down the railroad tracks. 

00:31.000 --> 00:33.000
So it’s all manual power 

00:33.000 --> 00:36.000
and we also have some electric assisted options too. 

00:36.000 --> 00:39.000
It’s been a real fun experience and 

00:39.000 --> 00:41.000
a really successful business out here. 

00:41.000 --> 00:44.000
We have carried over 2,000 riders last year, 

00:44.000 --> 00:47.000
so it has uh been pretty successful 

00:47.000 --> 00:49.000
and a very unique way to see not just

00:49.000 --> 00:52.000
the railroad track but the Monterey Area.
