Looks very cool and I want one because of that, but it seems like a massively inefficient design for something where efficiency is pretty important. Why the steel frame? Why not aluminum or one of those fancy bike alloys if aluminum isn't strong enough? Why the big wheels and fat tires with all their extra weight and increased rolling friction just for the sake of aesthetics? The minibike layout does seem pretty good for an electronic bike though.

I must be getting old because the first thing that came to my mind is "I'm glad I don't live on that street having to hear these jackasses scrape their overgrown Big Wheels down the hill day in and day out."

Man I'd have killed for an Ikea store to drive my big-wheel through at that age lol.

Would be wonderful paired with ELO's "Concerto for a Rainy Day" or "Big Wheels".

WHAT an album !!! 42 yrs old now

I can recall cruising on big wheel while the hearing them being blasted from 8-track players in my old hood.


My older brother had this 6? foot long by 3 foot high cabinet stereo where the top slid open and it had a turntable and the controls. It had like wood lattice speakers and really coarse cloth over them under the lattice. He would play it on there.

I've always dreamed of Big Wheels for grown ups. I'd probably wear shoes tho.

Not to sound like a hipster or anything but we were doing this shit in the 70's with Big Wheels.

Very cool vehicle. Some company should have turned this idea into a toy for kids and called it the Big Wheel.
But is this video different enough from this clip of the Dynasphere not to be a dupe? It's pretty close - almost entirely the same footage but cut up with the xylophones added.

Thanks for the promote!

Dear Youtubers who attempt to pull people on sleds, wagons, boogie boards, Big Wheel's, shopping carts, planks of wood, nothing at all, or anything else your demented little devolved brains can think of:
Notice how the skis give the person being pulled some CONTROL over their own movement! Also, note that at no time does the driver "gun it"!

Now go off and ignore all of those things so that you can give us more fail videos to sift and eliminate your space in the gene pool.

if anyone reading this has a big bird big wheel, whether it's worn or in perfect condition, I am EXTREMELY interested in purchasing it. Please email me at

I am also aware that this toy was recalled in 1990, and only 2000 of the toys were sold, but this makes it a million times harder to find. Thank you and please don't be shy in emailing me about this!
