Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 The best boys' outdoor toy we've bought so far! November 10, 2006

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!
This toy is a sure blast!!! December 3, 2005

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.
The Big Wheel Killer Is Back!!! January 6, 2008

I'm 40 years old, and I was in the Big Wheel market back in the 1970's. I didn't have a Big Wheel (the trademark brand name for Marx's cool plastic rider), but rode some sort of dragon-looking knock-off that would be the equivalent, in today's terms, of the Kia of the sidewalk highway. Big Wheels were the stuff back then, and anything other than a Big Wheel brand was just a poor imitation. Then along came the Green Machine (also from Marx), and everything changed. Like a big swirling mantis of plastic and stickers, the Green Machine redefined sidewalk cool - and I had one! The schitck was the unique steering mechanism - two levers that rotated the rear axle. Big Wheels suddenly looked like the tricycles that they were.
And they're back. My son has one of these new copies, and it is even better than the original (I, for one, have ridden them both - this is a test drive 30 years in the making). The new machine is essentially the same in all important ways, with three specific improvements. First and foremost, the front tire is inflated rubber. The traction difference is of course night and day. The rear wheels are still hard plastic, but that's what you want. These not only preserve that hallmark sound of rolling hollow plastic over gravel, but permit the whipping spin-outs that the Green Machine design is noted for. Second, the new Machine has a hand brake (bicycle style calipers that grip the front rim). Third, the front axle allows free-spinning - so when we, I mean my son, let's this baby coast down a hill, he can leave his feet on the pedals without trying to spin them at 4,000 rpm - that's a huge improvement.
Whether you remember these from your own childhood or just curious, let me give you my strong endorsement - I loved mine back then, adn my son loves his now. This is a winner of a toy.

We love this. I had one as a kid. This is the talk of the neighborhood and my son loves it. He is 5 and mastered the "controls" immediately. We have a great time watching him. His 3 year old brother can ride it for short while but can't turn it well. Great for a slightly older kid.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! March 3, 2006

i just got this green machine today and i put it together and the instructions were hard to follow. the fun thing is that you go real fast and pull the lever back and you go flying in spins but you tend to fall off once in a while.The bad thing is when i was putting it together i was short a nut so i tried without the nut and it worked for about 5 times and the screw came off so the left steering went out but it was an easy fix.so this is really fun oh yeah i forgot to tell the shipping box is the green machines box so it reveals what it is.
