    Mego Motorcycles

    How scarce are the CHiPs cycles, or Fonzie's? Are there other Mego cycles out there?

    I never seem to see them on ebay.

    Mego Motorcycles

    Never mind them!

    Get a Harley Davidson 1:9 scale motorcycle! I saw one at a gift shop not too far from where I live, and it was gorgeous! I plan on getting it for myself for Christmas.

    Of course, if you REALLY want a Mego MC, then go for it.

    I don't remember them being advertised on TV at the time, but I was only interested in the Dinah-mite commercials.

    I know that she had a motor scooter that operated by remote control, and a bicycle that was battery operated, but I don't remember a motorcycle.

    Are there any pictures of them in the archives?

      I've never seen a Fonzie bike on ebay since I've started buying Megos again (since June) but I've seen tons of Chips bikes and at least one Dinahmite bike.
      Also never seen the AJ chopper (or whatever it is)

        The AJ cycle looks like an ATV three wheeler. Same with Dinah's. Of course,there's always the Batcycle.

          I didn't do any research on the dinahmite bike. I just assumed it was hers. It wasn't a three wheeler so it was probably a fonz or chips bike then. It was white.
          Fonz on the batcycle? LOL. Who'd ride in the sidecar? Richie?

            I was thinking specifically of the ChiPs one for a custom.

                Hmmmm....

                Yeah; the CHiPs ones are pretty common. I got one in the box almost accidentally.

                I don't care for it so much. It's effective for playing with, but it's a little short on detail, and the flywheels look almost like training wheels.

                Getting a 1/8 or 1/9 scale bike would be a better route to take; but they can be expensive (sometimes you find toy ones on sale) and model kit onesa are a HUGE piece of work to build.
