    Mego figures and ideal stunt cycles?

    Ok, not sure if this is the correct place to post this...
    Has anyone used the ideal Evel Knievel cycles or cars with Megos, and if so do you have any pics?
    I'm considering trying to pick up a few of them for a custom character I've had running through my head for years now.
    Again, sorry if this is in the wrong area, if it is would a mod please move it to the correct area and perhaps direct me to where I could put up a list of figures I'm looking to get average prices on.
    Thanks all,
    Mike

    I used to play with my Megos on my Evel Kneviel and Team America cycles, and they are a bit undersized. Not by much, but probably not ideal for all the work that will go into customizing.

      I have had good luck with some dollar store motorcycles. Depending on what u want the toy to do. If its just posing these work fine. If u wanna send Batman up a ramp then u will need the ideal cycles.

        This bike has a weak friction motor similar to the chips and fonzie bike. Nothing impressive but it literally was a dollar.

          I think if you wanted use Mego figures on the old Knievel cycle you could probably get away with it if you used the Teen Titan scaled figures. Those would probably be more in line with that rubber Evel figure. Would look good as a presentation piece.

            Of course for just posing there are tons of motorcycles out there...wherever u wanna go realism vs price. The EK cars need plenty of work to take the larger mego. I have seen people remove most of the inside of the skycycle..not working...and the mego ek looked good in it.

              The ek skycycle might make a good starting point for a Mego Bsg viper

                when I was a kid I would place captain America on a evel cycle and wrap a rubber band over the shield over the bike handles like the 70s movie.

                  as a kid I used the rocket cycle as Captain Americas ride. it worked well, size wise. I think the other bikes are a little small. I also used the one car with the extendable piece in front, with megos. they fit a a little snug but they work
