An Even Bigger Big Wheel for Adults

Posted in: Today's Chili

We recently saw the High Roller, which is a Big Wheel for adults. It was big, but not this big. This Big Wheel is truly enormous. Like “Get the hell out of my way!” big.

This massive custom built Big Wheel is being sat upon by commercial and music video director Keith Schofield. Imagine the drifting he could do on this beast. The horns are a nice touch. You would need them for sure, to make sure that others get out of your way as you barrel down a hill, gaining speed. He built this crazy thing for a commercial he directed recently for car maker Škoda. You can see it in the clip at about 15 seconds in:

Great job, Keith. You are the kind of man who makes dreams come true for all of us big kids.

High Roller, a Big Wheel for Adults

Posted in: Today's Chili

It’s too bad that we all abandoned the simple joys of riding a Big Wheel when we were young. Well, we no longer have to live without the exhilaration of the low-rider trike, no matter what age we are. This is the High Roller. It is a $600(USD) Big Wheel-style trike made for specifically for adults.

Awesome. Take my money and point me toward the tallest hill. It comes with an adjustable seat for riders from 5’2″ to 6’6″ tall and up to 275-lbs. It also has a front brake, a bell, tassels, and plastic rear wheels for drifting. Everything you love about the Big Wheel is here – just now you can fit your big ass on it.

Now maybe we can get some adult Big Wheel racing action going. I wonder how long it takes for the wheels on this one to wear down to nothing.
