My brother had one. The helmet went lost for years and we found it when my parents moved. lol

I had this as a kid and played with it constantly until dad ran over it with the lawn mower.

I got one Christmas day..1978ish. We lived in a 3 floored urban maisonette.. Let it fly down the landing in the hallway.. Straight down the gap between the floors.. Smashed to smithereens... Evil's arms were just spikes.. Bless Dad though.. He found every single piece and glued it all together..

I did plenty of knuckle busting playing with these when I was a kid! You tip the winder over a little bit and scraped the hell out of your knuckles...one of my favorite toys back then.

I remember that all to well now that you mention it. Some days we'd have to put on a glove after busting our knuckles a few times. Great toy and loads of fun.

@slipcue1 I had one back then. Loved it so much my mom found one, new in a box on e-bay, and gave it to me for Christmas. I was the happiest 40+ year old in the neighborhood!

I came in at 2nd place at Chapel Hill Mall's Evil Knievel jump contest when I was 7yrs old. Got beat out by some little bastard from North Hill(Akron,Ohio.). Since then my life has taken a horrible turn into drugs and a hatred for anything RV related. Great toy though.

I caught my sisters hair in the energizer once. Shit was intense.

Got one in 1974 or 1975 for my birthday, still have the photo of me opening it. This is the toy that taught me advertising lies. You could never, ever duplicate the stunts on the commercials.

Toys during those 70's days were awesome!

Just a classic commercial & a brilliant toy wish I still had mine now !

I still have the real bicylcle with the original tires. Those toys ruled.

This is the coolest ad I've ever seen.

Duke Caboom brought me here. (lol)

He was inspired by Evel Knievel.

I use to put a ramp on my roof and jump Evel into traffic on my street. Fuckin' awesome toy!

I've just bought one on amazon now. Roll on the good old days!!!! :)

I still have one of these, unopened.

I got the motorcycle when it first came out. It was awesome!!!!

i still have my evel knievel action figure and his trailer..

But... but... IT WAS NOTHING LIKE IN THE COMMERCIAL!! _inb4 Réjean suing the manufacturer for false advertising_

Sadly, that last jump was like most of Evel's actual jumps!

Duke Kaboom was described as a hybrid of Evel Knievel and Keanu Reeves

I had the bike and it was amazing - flipping down a flight of stairs or a ramp we made from a wood plank and some bricks. I never knew there were other stunt toys out. I just remember the bikes.

Best Bad Ass toy ever...... Evil Knievel 🏁

if i was born i the 70 i would the happiest kid ever i think these toys are better than the ones now

made a few GIFS of Evel Knievel & the stunt cycle available through Fb & twitter

Jumped a lot of ditches back in Kentucky circa 1976 when I had mine - a real hit at the time!

Thats cool! My dad reticently gave me his old evil Knievel toy bike!

Oh yeah, I got one when they first came out and it was the coolest toy back then.

I wore out at least two of these as a kid,they were a blast . Never saw the Sky Cycle in my area. I got a red funny car one x-mas. ran it to death too. They shoulda got me to test em for longevity,heheh. great memories.

RIP Evel

Good memories.

I think a drag shute would be a good additional safety accessory for you

one of my favourite toys as a kid. I had the bike. my mate had it as well but on his there were 2 plastic red exhaust pipes that made sparks

WOW! Double back flip!

AND BOTH BIKES ARE TRIUMPHS!!!!!!

AND BOTH BIKES ARE SHIT

I remember me and my friends making a ramp n jumping over a small hole with are bikes,yeah, remember wiping out too

@RVBOY2 Shockingly enough they were heavy enough to land upright and keep right on going. I loved this toy as a child...LoL

i use to have 1 of those toys as a kid.

He got _"killed"_ at the end of the commercial - He came off the bike, and everything!

The motorcycle was by far my favorite toy when I was a kid. That winder fucked my knuckles up though. Totally worth it!

The regular bike was the best, the chopper was ok but the fork springs didn't last. The realistic part was Evil's wire skeleton, If it broke, it could actually poke out like a real bad broken arm.

Captain Lance Murdock lives!

I loved that toy. They don't make them like that anymore.

Did they ever put out the Evel Knievel yacht with women chasing action, or extra Booze hand grip? Baseball bat + sheldon Saltman action figures sold separately

My pop let me have a shot of vodka when I was 13 but I still think yours is cooler.

What's with that last jump?? LOL

I REALLY wanted that camper that's at the beginning. Sigh...but never got it. Had the stunt cycle and the van/cb. Not a total loss.

@TheCYB0RG Dude I catagorically deny that toy landed on it's wheels in that commercial.

Had several of these Evel toys back in the day. The stunt cycle was great, but the Sky Cycle (pictured in this ad) was less than thrilling. To make it fit on the bike’s same energizer the dimensions were all wrong. Instead of a sleek missile on wheels it was this big, stubby, clunky piece of plastic that was too heavy to do much more than crawl up a ramp and fall off the end, lol. But the original stunt cycle was epic.

Fucking indestructible!

+Raymundo Gonzalez I remember my 300 pound relative stepped directly on mine christmas morning and didn't do any damage.. I jumped it off a 10 foot drop onto concrete 10 times a day,. Jumped the steps countless times. Played with it in the dirt, water, mud. By the time I grew out of it, it was still working like new.

evil kicked ass

Hot video, I had evel he bends.

I dont remember mine working that well...How did they do it? LOL

Habe damals das Motorrad geschenkt bekommen..

lol, anytime solar7

I wanted one of these sooo bad! The boys at school said I couldn't get one because I'm a girl! A big fight ensued over that one.

skeeta1068 bummer, sorry to hear. I would've let you, as long as you weren't a pain and could design good ramps. Ramps were the key to enjoying that thing.

he'd of fucked you tooo, if you'd let him.

There's no fuckin way that landed on it's wheels after that jump.

What's the exact year this commercial first appeared?

Who had a desert to use this with?

Anyone who had this toys knows it had a certent smell to the plastic

Fuck me my hand me down evil kenevil toys never were that good

Too bad the toy didnt do half the shit

Evel? Reality shift again

The sky cycle really sucked. Too large and heavy to build up any speed. It just kind of teetered along and wouldn't even make it up a ramp. I remember trading it to a friend for his old train set.
