does anyone know about a steamroller kids riding toy that was on the Waltons TV show in the General Store.?




fuzzy


I was looking for who made it and a possible value


Answer
I did some researching on your great question and have come to the conclusion that it is a Marx rehash/custom toy made for the Walton's TV show. Similar how they did the radio on Gilligan's Island. They took an existing toy and rehashed/tweaked it too look like a different toy. I am still curious.

what ride on toys can be ridden on street.?

My boys have always had the ride on toys that go 5 MPH.. Last year we purchased a Razor Electric 4 wheeler that goes 8MPH or so... Never had a complaint about riding it in the culdesac, but now Im looking at buying a gas 4 wheeler, but it too can be limited to the 8 MPH range,, does anyone know the legal issues of the kids ride on toys?


Answer
Hi there. I am an adult scooter enthusiast. I've built/re-built many. Currently, I have a 6+HP stand up scooter, an Electric stand-up, and a weird little thing called a runt bike with a 4hp engine.

You really have to check your state's dmv code. You can usually do this online. A ssearchwithin the site of "moped" often brings-up the type of information you need.

That said-- usually, if it has a seat, it can't be ridden on the street. This is because most municipalities do not want ATVs, snowmobiles, and dirt bikes causing havoc, and the llittletoys fall into that classification.

That said, most of the time, a below 49cc engine with a top speed below 30mph is legal for stand-up toys.

The gas engine models attract more attention, because of the noise. I've never had a problem in my state. I have been "pulled-over" a few times, but it was all good in the end. Once, i was told to get a headlight. Another time, the officer suggested I do something about the noise. My fastest model cruises far above the legal limit, so I'm just careful about how/where I ride it.

Again, check with your state's dmv.
