The original stunt cycle was made by Ideal Toy company. They sold millions. But when Evel was convicted of attacking a writer with a baseball bat and breaking the man's arm, the toy company pulled the toys from the shelves of toy stores. I wonder if this is a vintage toy or are they remaking it?
He actually jumped into 1980 before he quit. There is a list of all his jumps, over 300, in the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, KS. Most people only know of the televised ones, and the epic crashes.
Had one in 1973 and LOVED IT! For me it was the GOAT.
Truly was awesome when I had in the 70s and great to see the kids enjoying still !
Robert Kneivel was our hero he had us jimpin ramps in the hood doing wheelies Evil was the man!!!
I got one for Xmas I think in 1977 or 1978. I still have fond memories of building ramps to launch it off of. Best Toy Ever!
I had one of those back in the early seventy's
I loved this toy as a kid and another I just remembered was a blow up robot with remote control base. It was the robot from buck rogers.

When Level jumped the shark it was all over, he literally jumped a shark on his last jump, yes one month before Fonzie, they were happy days

This would be fun at the skate park.
Very durable to be crashed so much and not break. Made in Germany? Or Japan?
didn't even need batteries
I got one of these as a kid for Christmas back in the 1970s. It was awesome!
