Hand Powered Ride On Toys
What has been the sport of riding called?
It was a round plastic big wheel and a child seated in powered by hand with handles on the large wheels on each side. He could move in all directiions, depending on how the child was maneuvered the wheel with his hands. I thought it was a wheel called the moon, but not sure. This is from the mid 70s. I think it was orange with black wheels. It was a round wheel with a seat in the middle. There were large wheels on each side of the seat. The wheels had side handles to transform and make the toy move in any direction, and even turn around. I think it was called a wheel "moon". This was not the Big Wheel tricycle, it was a totally different type of riding toys.
