The little cars were just made of aluminum foil, so you could re-form them. The truck itself you could rev up and it would take off by itself, definitely cool.
Pit Row
Of course I'm also like many of the previous responders in that I logged more hours testing the Evel Knievel version to its limits. I went through numerous Evels, punishing him mercilously as he was pushed to the limits of flight via a mechanized toy motorcycle.
Two things I remember the most- scraping the skin off my knuckles against the asphalt driveway each time I made a careless rotation of the hand operated launch system, and the fact that after 10 minutes that the handlebars usually snapped off each new bike.
Last year my young nephew found a reproduction Evel Knievel stunt bike set that I bought a few years ago. It was an exact replica of the original, but wasn't a collectors item, so I had opened it to relive my youth.
My young nephew took an interest in it and how it worked, so I leaped at the chance to share one of my favorite toys from youth with him.
After about 10 minutes of ramp time, my nephew came back with a snapped off handlebar and fear in his eyes for breaking his uncle's "toy"...
I just looked at him and smiled and said, "...now you got him broke in for some real action!!".
Someone should make these nowadays with an updated bike and rider. My kid had a remote control Pastrana a few years ago but it wasn't near as fun.
I think I want to get one of the Evil toy bikes for my 17mo old daughter to play with. She already plays with my toy dirtbike all the time, making motor sounds to go with it lol
Speaking of the toy dirtbike... the one I have is the best one I've ever seen made, but I don't know what brand it is. It has working front forks, rubber band 'chain', and 2 sets of tires (one of which is 'ice pick' knobbies) as well as a moveable kick start and rubber pipe. The one I have is all black with One Industries logos and appears to be a YZ250. I think it might be Tech Deck or some spinoff of that because it came with a little hex driver and phillips screwdriver and you can completely disassemble the whole with those 2 tools. Anybody familiar with these? Like I said... it's the best toy bike I've ever seen but I don't know what brand it is nor if you can even get them anymore. I'd love to find another one
Post a reply to: Did any of you guys have one of these??
