Choose from an assortment of wheels for your doll, from retro 1950s cycles in various colors to modern speed bikes. Made in 1:6 scale (though 1:4 is normally correct for 16" dolls for furniture, these are good size for 16" dolls) by companies such as New-Ray, they all feature incredible detailing, most with moving parts. BMW and Indian motorcycles come affixed to stands which can be removed for posing. Currently available: 1 black Honda dirt bike. Cost: $30 each. Cool Vespas/scooters are so retro, and are perfect for small dolls and even 16" dolls (seated w/a little leg positioning). Currently available: 1 unboxed Vespa in cream cast-iron/metal with double seat, where both seats have come off and need re-gluing, $15. Also available is a retro-style black bicycle for $30 in 1:6 scale. Measures approx. 12"L x 6"H to seat and 7"H to handlebars. Detailing is incredible. 16" dolls look great posed next to it but doll legs might be too long to sit the doll comfortably on seat (see photos). Also available for 11" dolls are smaller bikes in 1:12 scale, $15. Cute orange pylons available also for $3 each. Look awesome displayed w/cycles!
