    The plastics “tires” were what made the green machine so fun. You get up some stopped in a staring line then slam the levers forward and backward and spin out for a 180° then zoom back down the driveway on increasingly lumpy wheels from all the flat spots.

    Same with the big wheels with hand brakes, which weren’t as cool.

      The rears are still plastic. The front tire on this new one is rubber , which gives you better traction so that you can get up to speed better.
