Popcycle Casting Reference | Loose Hot Wheels
Popcycle
Popcycle is a bizarre-looking motorcycle-like vehicle with an engine on the right side and a compartment featuring a bicycle inside on the right. Its cockpit is located on the front of the storage compartment. Its name is a play on the word "popsicle". Since 2005 this casting has been named Motor Psycho and the name on the base changed to reflect this change; this name is a play on "motorcycle".
