Abstract
A toy motorcycle includes a body having a light-weight frame and a light-weight hood doubling as a cowling, a drive source, which also serves as a balancing weight, disposed at a lower position than the center of gravity of the toy inside the body, a rear wheel driven by the drive source through a power transmission system, and a plurality of projections formed on the body and on a front wheel support for facilitating self-righting of the toy. When the toy falls over due to collision with an obstacle while the toy is travelling on the ground, the projections come into contact with the ground and cause the rear wheel to contact the ground. The toy is righted to resume travelling by a righting function performed by the drive source and the driving function performed by the rear wheel.
