Then there was those Evol Kenevol motorcycles that you wind up on the platform and when you stopped winding it would take off.
I had the "1st gen" Big Wheel. No side brake. It didn't take very long to ware out the front wheel. Got it for Christmas around '70.

My sister had one without the side brake too, but after she and I trashed it, she got the "2nd gen" with the side brake. The front wheel lasted alot longer on it, but constantly sliding it sideways into curbs eventually did it in. And then she got the Green Machine. Those things were Wicked!

I had the Evil Knevil stunt cycle too. Compared to TTP, or SSP's, it was lame.
