Description
This was a very large circle to sit in, with very large wheels, on the outside of the circle. Their were handles on the outside of the wheels. You used the handles, on the wheels, to turn the Crazy Car any way you wanted to go. You could go in circles, forward or whatever.

You can still get one at Back-to-Basics toys, but very expensive!!!
Bring back some great memories in life. My sister and I had two and used them at the park. We played bumper cars, race them and had a great time. It was best ride ever. Everyone in our neighborhood wanted to ride our wheels. Some of the kids used to fight to see who was going to ride next. We call them Crazy Wheels other called them Turn-N-Go, Whiz Wheel, Big Wheels. Our best Christmas gift ever. Thanks Mom
this was the best. i used to go down my driveway fast and then turn one wheel and it would slide sideways. i did this every day when i was around 10. it has such great memories...i loved those days! i would love to ride it now!
My brother and I got a set of these for christmas in the 70's we love racing them on our street.
How can i find one of these for my kids?
The neighbor kids had 2 of them. I remember waiting for a turn. We would spin till we were dizzy.
Everyone in the neighiborhood had a Big Wheel but I had a Crazy Wheel- I could never keep up . I had the broadest shoulders in the neighborhood because of that thing
This was my favorite toy. I liked it better than my bicycle and actually rode it till the wheels fell apart.
I LOVED my crazy car! You can buy them at back to basics. I am getting them for my twin girls.
I loved this thing! I would play for hours or until I became dizzy!
My three children were facinated by this two wheel
toy and played to their heart's content.
We had one and it was great! Just a word..don't leave them out in the sun forever. They tend to disintegrate. The plastic goes to a powder,and the wheels will break off.
This was the BEST outside toy! Great memories of riding around in early 1970's. Wonder if I could even turn the wheels now!
We had two Crazy Cars that were made of metal. The seat was an adapted tractor seat and the wheels were from a bicycle. They could fit a child or an adult. My mom said she bought them from a company in Germany. Did anyone else have ones like this? I would love to find some now...
Mary -- check Leaps & Bounds website
They are called Whirly Wheel on the site.
I had one in '71. I could really get that thing spinning! Best ride of my whole life!
