Green Machine 2 - Your Kid's Favourite Toy ?

By Freddy McCandless

From the notes received on the Green machine 2 and it's predecessors, it is apparent that they're definite favorites with children and will be a toy they return to repeatedly as they develop. In brief, the Green Machine 2 is a toy that will grow with your son or daughter as they get more confident with their physical abilities plus general co-ordination. This informative article will cover what the toy is and why it is a good present for children.

The Green machine 2 is the next generation tricycle. In short it is a big wheel tricycle aimed at young people 6 years and up (and adults aren't immune to the allure of the toy either). You would possibly think, what... a tricycle? That's for kids isn't it? Well, yes and no. You see this trike is turbo charged with features such that you would not recognize it as a plain old tricycle. In brief, it's a stunt tricycle that enables you to pull a mixture of stunts and maneuvers that will have the adrenaline flowing and have your friends howling and screaming for more.

The machine is made by Huffy who have a long tradition in making cycles as well as coming up with innovations in bike design and aesthetics (Do you remember the radio bike or more recently the bicycle fitted with water pistols). The Green machine 2 has a large front wheel (21 inch) that is the power source for the trike. Pedals and a crankshaft spin the wheel (provided you deliver a bit of leg power of course). You will get some pretty respectable momentum up on a flat track.

The innovation is in the steering. You will have a twin control, like the stick you can get in an airplane (only times 2). The twin control columns control the back wheels as well as a disk braking system on the front wheel.

By twiddling with the controls it is possible to execute 180, 360 and 540 degree turns. As the tricycle is so low to the ground plus the control system ensures that you keep the center of gravity over the machine in the middle, it is doubtful that you're going to flip or tip over too. As soon as a child develops just a little trust in the machine he/she will be able to do all kinds of stunts and will be eager to think up further tricks.

The Green Machine 2 will provide your children the opportunity to get a good amount of exercise and develop confidence in their capabilities. It beats the heck out of video games along with the trend towards wii fit as one way to get exercise. - 32193
