  • I created this video to introduce you to my Ideal Toy Company Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle that I enjoyed when I was probably 5 years old. It still works! They really don't make toys like they used to!
    Here's where you can get your very own modern version of the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle toy! www.evelknieve...
    This site details the 5 different production runs of the stunt cycle so you can figure out which version you own! evelknievelstun...

    Thanks for your interest!

    My brother and I had one of these. We got it for Christmas, I think it was around'73 or '74. All I can remember is that we had a great time with it. Many, Many jumps were made :) Thanks for bringing back all those memories of creating those ramps and playing with my brother.

    Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I had this toy when I was around 5 or 6 (1975 or '76). I loved this toy! Enjoyed seeing you play with it--the sound of the "energizer" brought back memories.

    The winding sound of evils bike when getting up to speed is so distinctive. Only a child of the 70/80s will know what it is.

    I placed some doubled sided tape inside the helmet so it would adhere to his during jumps. I grew up in the 70's so this was THE toy of that era. Have an original boxed version from then and this one today. California Creations did an excellent job recreating it. I know a company back in the 90's reproduced it, but it was mostly garbage. Never really worked. This one is the real deal.

    I really enjoy watching the you can evil doing all his stunts I had a friend of mine who just recently gave me a vintage you can either stunt cycle and I'm having fun with it and bring back a lot of memories when I was a kid when I have one I hope you got the opportunity to fix your bike I guess super glue will probably fix it

      Probably made with cheaper plastic than what was used in the 70s.

    Too bad they reproduced the trail bike and not the original road bike version. Great video. That one had me laughing.

      Ha! The brand new stunt cycle is the one that broke, not the nearly 50 year old one. I'm guessing cheap 2020 plastic is the issue. :-)
