Growing up in the city, as I did, we used to ride those Big Wheels down a street with a really steep grade; at the bottom was a “T”-intersection, and we would have hair-raising encounters with traffic upon reaching the bottom of the hill, with cars behind us laying on the horn (and then the brakes) and cars turning the corner as well and stomping on the brakes...
We’d pull the damn seats off the things and STAND on them, then wipe out at the bottom...
It’s a wonder none of us got killed...but man, it was FUNNY...and I would probably FREAK on MY kids if they’d done that!!!!
Friend of mine is making a motorcycle that is pretty much a Big Wheel trike ! I will get some pictures of it for ya’ll !
Pretty cool design with low seat, big wheels and regular bars that keeps yer arms high enough you’ll think they are ape hangers but look normal and very very comfortable ride......
