When they're getting the kid a helmet they need to get him some new tires that bite.

The 1960's wide ovals on that thing are hard as rocks.

Been there...and inside-out Vaccuum Cleaner belts stretched over the plastic wheels on these was the answer, quieter too!.

We had a few for the kids and if anyone's in the market, the Peg-Perego ones are 10 times the rig these Chinese Power-Wheels ones are!.

Did the way that kid spins sideways reminds anyone else of the kid in the 70's 'Big Wheel' commercials!.

OH MAN...that reminds me of my senior design project in engineering school where we got to "use" a golf cart for a semester...those beer runs from the engineering building to the liquor store and back when working on the project Friday nights couldn't have been more fun - HA!...
