Claim:
A toy vehicle comprising: a chassis; a front road wheel supported for rotation from the chassis and a rear road wheel supported for rotation from the chassis in line with the front road wheel so as to define a central vertical longitudinal plane bisecting each of the front and rear road wheels, each of the front and rear road wheels being supported from the chassis for rotation at least about a central axis of each respective wheel extending transversely to the central vertical longitudinal plane; a reversible motor supported from the chassis and operatively coupled with one of the front and rear road wheels so as to rotate at least one of the front and rear road wheels to propel the toy vehicle in a forward direction; and a wheelie mechanism operatively connected to the motor and having a first end pivotally attached to the central axis of one of the front and rear wheels wherein operation of the motor in a first rotational direction rotates the one of the front and rear road wheels to propel the toy vehicle to the forward direction and operation of the motor in a second rotational direction rotates the one of the front and rear road wheels to propel the toy vehicle in the forward direction and pivots a second end of the wheelie mechanism away from the chassis.
