Cycle Minis at Hot Wheels Scale?
Anybody have suggestions for (preferably cheap) cycles & trikes at Hot Wheels scale?
So far it looks like I'll need to print out flat counters on cardstock (which will work fine, but doesn't look as cool). |

Re: Cycle Minis at Hot Wheels Scale?
I recommend using Micro Machines motorcycles with Hot Wheels and Matchbox miniatures for cars. Micro Machines are 1.5X Car Wars scale. Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are 3X Car Wars scale. One problem using Micro Machines motorcycles is those miniatures are out of print.

Re: Cycle Minis at Hot Wheels Scale?
Once upon a time someone recommended Rebel Minis for cycles that would work at Hot Wheels scale. It was a "cycle gang" kind of pack, perhaps from a zombie genre, so I think they were guys wedging giant assault rifles on the handlebars rather than weapons built into the frame of the bikes, but close enough. At the time, they were available, but now, I can't seem to find them on the site. Maybe you could inquire with them?

Re: Cycle Minis at Hot Wheels Scale?
We've gotten several of Stan Johansen's cycles, they're perfect for Hot Wheels scale. For current in-print and available minis, it's difficult to beat. Maybe AutoMohawk can post some pics of ones he's put together, he's got the best collection.
If you can find GW's Dark Future cycles (ebay, etc), they're my favorite for CW cycle and light trikes. Current prices are a little high...
