Micro thumper

Ha ha. Love it. Goes well fer a little un.

I like the way that the guy riding it tries to keep a serious face. And let's the occasional grin through.

Check out the weird v8 and the 125cc four cylinder monkey bike, using the same principle.

Edit: it's a bit like circular pedalling on a pushbike. I'm starting to see the benefits.

Those little monkey bikes are a big thing in Japan I read an article about them a while ago. You can get oil coolers watercooling kits, trick suspension all sorts of stuff, some of 'em spend thousends on them.

....even nitrous and a turbo!!
