Product Description

Amazon.com

There's no ride quite like the Huffy Green Machine, which has a sleek and stable, low-profile design that can pick up speed with its high-traction 20-inch rubber front tire. When you hit the corners, maneuver the dual joysticks to steer the back wheels--with their ultra-wide slick tires-- for sick spin-outs. A great choice for advance riders, it offers an adjustable seat that fits a wide variety of kids. Other features include a front-wheel hand brake offers sure stopping power, platform resin pedals with steel crank shafts, oversized chrome exhaust pipes on the back, and an orange safety flag. It's recommended for riders age 6 and older.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best boys' outdoor toy we've bought so far!, November 9, 2006

By

This update of the old Big Wheel style "Green Machine" is made to handle the height, weight and wear and tear of big boys (and girls, up to the latter 30s have even been caught on it), yet the seat is easily adjusted so that the average 5-year-old can reach its pedals. The main cool feature is the dual lever steering. Just like with the original hollow model plastic version, pulling on the steering levers in opposite directions sends the machine into a wicked spin-out that kids just can't get enough of. Yet under the usage of some pretty crazy 6, 9 and 12 year olds on a steep downhill driveway, the machine has almost always remained three wheels on the ground.

So first, I am amazed at the staying play value of this toy. For two years now, it has been the first toy out of the garage every time the door opens. And second, I am amazed at its durability. The 9 year old who uses it reguarly is an Evel Kneivel who is notorious for breaking my children's toys left and right, and so far, it has held up without a squeak.

This was a million times better value for our hundred spot, than the darn motorized motorcycle we bought a couple years prior for twice that amount which only lasted a year before the gears stripped. Definitely consider this for your 5-10 year old boy, even if he already has a two-wheeler. It's a whole different kind of fun.

***** all the way!

I purchased this toy for my 12 year old son. I do have to say myself that this toy is quite alot fun. I have enjoyed it myself. I would not recommend this to a child under 8 as the manufacturer states because it can throw you off really easy if you are not coordinated. This toy brought back alot of memories for me from my childhood when I had the old Big Wheel with the pull handle so you could spin out. Wonderful Product and I highly recommend it for your children and yourself as well. It is really alot of fun.

We thought we were ordering this Green Machine a few weeks back. It arrived today. Unfortunately, the one we got is NOT the one pictured here. It is a Green Machine Mini, 16" front wheel, black with green. We chose the one pictured here because it has a higher back than the newer versions. The Mini has a seat back that does come up higher than the other new versions, but does not look to be as high as the one pictured here. It also has a hand brake (a plus, in my opinion) and is more black in color than green. Overall it is still a very cool Machine and we will not be returning it since my boys love it. I just want everyone to be clear that you will probably not get the one pictured here if you order it from here!
