Yes, it's incredibly stupid, but you can't say that for at least one instant you didn't think, "OMG SWEET!!!"

You know though, Big Wheels were after my time. *sigh* I'm so old.

I said "OMG SWEET!!!" for 2 seconds, thank you. I was a big time big wheeler 'back in the day'. :cool:

Did yours have a metal or plastic break? :) I have fond memories of my bigwheel!

Same here. When they came out I could just squeze onto one but I was a bit to heavy and the wheel would just spin (plastic wheel slips) unless going downhill.

Never knew they added breaks.

Never knew they added breaks.
The first ones had a metal hand break on the right rear wheel to allow you to do spinouts, etc. The later models had it replaced with a plastic hand beak.
I'm not sure, but I think they even, eventually, removed the little "trunk" from the movable seatback.
Aah, here it is some history :)

The first models had a metal hand break, Metal front forks, and a storage trunk in the seat. Eventually, they made the fork and break plastic and got rid of the trunk.

I actually bought one of those for my 2 year old not too long ago. She loves it.
