1. An entertainment vehicle that simulates a vehicle with an internal combustion engine and multiple gear ratios, comprising:
- a motor having an output torque;
a gear selector that receives a gear selection amongst a number of simulated gear ratios;
a sensor that senses the vehicle speed of the vehicle; and
a processor that determines a simulated engine speed based on the gear selection and the sensed vehicle speed.

Abstract
The entertainment vehicle of the preferred embodiments includes a motor having an output torque, a gear selector that receives a gear selection amongst a number of simulated gear ratios, a sensor that senses the vehicle speed of the vehicle, and a processor that determines a simulated engine speed based on the gear selection and the sensed vehicle speed. The entertainment vehicle is preferably designed to simulate a vehicle with an internal combustion engine and multiple gear ratios. The entertainment vehicle, however, may be alternatively used in any suitable environment and for any suitable reason.
