Abstract
A toy vehicle is provided that can be manually activated to store kinetic energy. The rear wheels of the vehicle can be positioned so that upon tilting and movement of the vehicle, a gear assembly provides a high gear ratio to rotate a flywheel held off of the support surface. Subsequently, upon release of the toy vehicle, the contact of the flywheel with a support surface drives the car with the rear wheels held off of the support surface.
