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.
Can You Buy A Big Wheel for Adults?
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.
