The motive behind the making of World's Largest Bigwheel is to do something adventurous for the really big kids. And the Parker Brothers Choppers bag the credit for the innovation of this Green Machine.

The Green Machine has got an 80-cubic inch Harley Davidson Evo engine. It really sounds difficult to imagine pedaling a Bigwheel with a 45-inch front wheel. But yes! it has been made possible as it's steered by a pair of levers that control the rear wheels. This can be rode at 30 miles per hour, and the most daring ones can drive this at even 50 mph. Heck, Jeff Halverson at Parker Brothers claims to have done so.
There is less possibility for the whole steering-via-the-rear-wheels to get approval from the Department of Transportation, so it is advisable not to place an order for the Green Machine soon. The best thing to do for the time being is to dream of the adventurous dream.
