Clown bike

Today at work a guy gave my what looks like a clown bike. Ya really! The wheels are about 4 or 5 inch high the chain is about 12 inches long the seat post is about 24 inches so is the neck post the seat a normal sized one so are the handlbars. I road it in the house tonight and my 11 yr old owns it. The front wheel has been replaced with a scooter wheel. Im going to look around and see if I can find the maker and get the right one.

I've ridden those... we had them at the collegiate nationals for a silly criterium. After we tanked up on "liquid courage", guys were bunnyhopping them, taking them downhilling, or down the long steep road the resort was built on... it was great. They are kinda junky but fun to ride.

Mini bikes!

These used to be the prize of choice at various carnivals and such to replace inline scooters. Now electric scooters have replaced it.
A vicious cycle.

Lol, I got something like that from Costco. Just to play around on, those things are deadly on downhill runs

BTW the brake is one of those backpedal brakes.

Your son hasn't been laughed out of his self-confidence from riding that thing in public?
