Can You Still Buy A Big Wheel?

If you were a kid in the 1970s, you likely enjoyed the fast and maneuverable Big Wheel tricycle.  It was a tricycle that allowed for crazy spin outs and drifting in those dangerous days before bicycle helmets and kneepads.  I never had one when I was a kid, but when we lived in apartments, they were the terror of the neighborhood.

Today, you can still get a Big Wheel tricycle from a company called The Original Big Wheel.  Now, there are really cool versions that have logos from cool companies like Hot Wheels and West Coast Choppers.

Unfortunately, there is a drawback to the Big Wheel.  The original Big Wheel is just for kids.  However, you could get an adult drifting trike.  The Triad Notorious 2 has a weight limit of 222 pounds.  You can also get an extra large frame that will handle taller passengers.  The Triad Notorious 2 shown below gets 5 star reviews on Amazon and will definitely bring out the Big Wheel terror lurking in every overgrown kid.  The very idea of hauling ass on a trike and then spinning out is exhilarating!


Of course, now that we are grown and the innocence of the 1970s is behind us, you're going to need a bicycle helmet for either one of these tricycles.
