If you were born after the 80's you may have no idea what the original big wheel tricycle is all about. However if you were born in the 60's or 70's, you may not need an introduction to the Big Wheel. Before 1969, there was only one kind of tricycle, the one with 3 wheels and all of them were more or less the same size. However, in 1969, a person by the name of Louis Marx introduced a new kind of tricycle.
A contrastingly different feature of the Louis Marx Tricycle was that it had a much larger front wheel compared to the other two. The other difference was that the two rear wheels were much smaller than those of a regular tricycle, so the seat was very much lower than a regular trike.
What this meant was that:
It had a really cool look - Big Front Wheel and small rear wheels with a low seat
It had a really low ride - kids loved this because they felt an exaggerated speed. Parents and a few consumer groups loved it because the bike was very safe. You couldn't trip it over, if you tried to!
All in all, the The Big Wheels were an absolute blast in the 1970's.
So what's the 'ORIGINAL' all about?
Today, there are many different models of Big Wheeled Tricycles. There are many models produced by kids' bicycle manufacturers such as Razor and Huffy. All these are 'Big Wheels', however, that original model produced by Marx, is still known as the Original Big Wheel Tricycle. Although the original company stopped manufacturing it, a model similar to the original tricycle is being re-manufactured today and is available for purchase through various toy distributors.
