I had a 'Whiz Wheel' (we knew it as a Crazy Car)when I was a kid growing up in Michigan, and I absolutely LOVED it! I wore holes in the wheels from using it so much! I wish they still made them because they do not require the balance that is necessary for riding a bike, but they are great exercise. Because they don't require the balance skills of a bike, younger kids can ride them and learn about making turns, while enjoying the freedom of mobility afforded by such toys! I am sure that my kids (ages 1 1/2 and 3) would love them too!

You can still buy Krazy Kars! Try Back To Basics Toys on the web. I LOVED LOVED LOVED my Whiz Wheel when I was growing up. :-)

My aunt had a Whiz Wheel when I was growing up. My brother and I had two cousins who were very close to us in age. We would drag the Whiz Wheel to the top of my aunt's very steep and sharply curved driveway. My oldest cousin Jamey would stand on the back to "steer" (since the flesh would get ripped off our hands if we tried to grab the handles on the wheels) and we would fly down the driveway at an incredible rate of speed. Jamey would jump off moments before the Whiz Wheel came to a screeching halt when it hit the bricks at the bottom of the driveway and whoever was in the driver's seat at the time went flying into the bushes. We spent hours a day riding that death trap every summer. My best childhood memories are of us cousins lying half-dead at the bottom of my aunt's driveway after an amazing ride on the beloved Whiz Wheel.

My best friend and his brother had two of them and we loved them. We couldn't think of what they were called, but remember having tons of fun on them back in the days on Iowa Street in H-town! Davey, thanks for the memories home slice!

I have never forgotten my Whiz Wheel. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I would drive my Kermit the Frog all around the neighborhood. I was just telling my husband about it the other day...wishing they still sold them. You could turn this baby on a dime and fly down the street. I loved the little compartments to hold different toys. I even remember eating lunch sitting in my Whiz Wheel. I cried when my dad cleaned out the basement and he sent it off to become recycled plastic. :( My Big Wheel was great but nothing compared to my beloved "Whiz Wheel".

I loved my Whiz Wheel! I am handicapped and could not ride a bike as a kid, but I rode my Whiz Wheel everywhere! I want one for adults now...

I loved my Whiz Wheel !! And you are right, we need one for adults. Unfortunately, as big as I've gotten, Mine will need to be made of steel !!! and it would weigh 1500 lbs....

I cant believe that I found this website. My brothers and I couldnt remember the name of this thing. We got one when we lived in Florida and I remember all the neighbor kids would come over and play with this for hours. It was our most beloved toy. Then when we lived in Chicago we had a driveway that slanted down toward the house. Well someone forgot to put the Whiz Wheel away and we had gotten in the car to go somewhere. When my Mom backed up and we heard this horrible crunch we knew immediatly what it was. We all jumped out of the car and stood there and cried like babies, me, my two older brothers and my MOm was even crying. That was a very sad day. I would love to find something cool like that for my kids!!

Just the picture of the crazy car brings back a whole lot of good times.I remember we use to have races up and down the street all my cousins had one I wish we could turn back time just for a little bit just to get one more race in before the sun went down.Thanks for the memories.

Oh, boy! I loved my Whiz Wheel! Because I'm disabled I couldn't ride a bike. I bet this was better than a bike, though. I used to go so fast that I couldn't see my arms, anymore. Wheeeeeeee!!!!

Whiz Wheel! What a great childhood toy! I was the only one in my Chicago area that had one. With over 2 dozen kids on my block it got alot of attention. They'd line up to take a turn. I owned that pavement in my red Whiz Wheel whipping around the corner of the block and spinning in circles over and over again. ;)

I have been trying to remember the name of that toy for years. The Whiz Wheel and the Inch worm were my favorite riding toys. My sister and I each had one and they were so much fun.

Favorite toy as a kid. My Sister just bought the Krazy Kar for my daughter's birthday -- such memories!
