The regular bike was the best, the chopper was ok but the fork springs didn't last. The realistic part was Evil's wire skeleton, If it broke, it could actually poke out like a real bad broken arm.
first thing i did was tear out the rubber things out of the tail pipes!!! mistake, that was all that kept it from looping on wheelies, it never worked again after that :'(
I remember when they were forced to stop selling Evel Knievel toys in the late '70s because too many kids were breaking bones trying to imitate him with their bikes.
I wore out at least two of these as a kid,they were a blast . Never saw the Sky Cycle in my area. I got a red funny car one x-mas. ran it to death too. They shoulda got me to test em for longevity,heheh. great memories.
i cranked the red winder with such enthusiasm that one or two of the nylon cogs inside cracked,broke or sheared, . my dad,an engineer, went to work and made and fitted metal replacement cogs.. no problems after that. nice one dad! r.i.p.
Those must have been made out of some super plastic. You could not break that motorcycle. Probably the only indestructible toy ever made. I wish I had the chopper.
Wow i kinda remember that commercial. I even had a evil knevil toy

I also had the drag car that used a CO2 cartridge and rode along a length of kite string, and it had a parachute that deployed. Very cool.
