We had something similar in the UK called Motor Roar, but no one else rememembers. Thanx for this Lucyhuto, I ain't going nuts in my old age : ) Us poor kids used lolly sticks in the spokes, held with clothes pegs!

Wow does this bring them back. I had one, and it was great fun. But I don't think they had alkaline batteries back then, and all dad put in was those 'black cat' batteries-good for maybe 10 minutes. Used it off and on-so good for maybe an hour. Don't remember it having a cord-but hell, I was 6.

We used to tie each end of long balloons to the front fender brace, then push it under while pedaling slow, forcing the balloon into the moving spokes. Man, talk about a loud motorcycle sound!! It was awesome! The balloons did not last very long, but while they did, it was cool as hell!

Wow. My father could not wake up to the normal alarm clock, so after i found a discarded vroom motor in our dumpster,thinking that it would be swell on my purple spider bike with redline tires and sissy bar, and ape hangar bars, the motor found its way to my fathers alarm clock. He would still sleep through it. But the rest of the family would be wide awake.

I had one, but the batteries didn't last that long and when I tried plugging in the optional cord it got wrapped around my brother's throat...you should have heard the sounds HE made!Using old, rare baseball cards with a clothes pin worked for a while too until they wore out...now those cards are worth thousands and the VROOM motor was so much cheaper in comparision...
