Question:

Big Wheel or Tricycle?

Isn't a Big Wheel just a plastic tricycle?Which is better?They didn't have the Big Wheel when I was that age so far as I know.

Answer:

Disc brakesless prone to brake fade.
Assuming you mean a motorcycle. Disc Brakes are best.
Older cars used drum brakes, newer cars generally use disc brakes. better stopping capability.
A Big Wheel has a plastic front wheel, plastic back wheels and a low profile seat. Very light weight and you can do awesome slides and stunts on it without falling off and busting your head open. I had one decades ago and was a red , white and blue Bicentennial version that was simply awesome. I miss it. A tricycle is mostly metal with a large front rubber tire and usually rear rubber wheels. The seat sits at a higher center of gravity that can cause major injuries if any awesome stunts are performed. *ouch*. But you could go places that a Big Wheel couldn't due to the rubber wheels. So all in all I had an awesome Big Wheel and I did have a tricycle. Hands down the Big Wheel really is an awesome toy. Having memories of both I would say the Big Wheel.
