It was early 70’s for me. A bit of info...

Looks to me as though the rear wheel might be an 18” wheel too, which would be the smart way to do things, but it doesn’t look like a stock Tenere rim to me at least.
I loved Big Wheels as a kid. Sadly, I was a portly lad, and exceeded the weight limit on one. And since the weight distribution on them placed almost all the weight over the non drive wheels, all of my attempts to ride one resulted in one very disappointed chubby kid doing prolonged stationary front wheel burnouts.Those big wheel commercials were awesome! Most of the big wheels in my neighborhood had a flat side on the round wheel after a while from doing the skids and spinning it out.
Good eye. I would agree.Looks to me as though the rear wheel might be an 18” wheel too, which would be the smart way to do things, but it doesn’t look like a stock Tenere rim to me at least.
You made me laugh! What about one foot on and the other pushing? We played bumper big wheels that way.I loved Big Wheels as a kid. Sadly, I was a portly lad, and exceeded the weight limit on one.

They made them from 69 to 81. I never owned one as no way could we afford something like that on a teachers salary. 3 sisters had braces and my dad bought a CB750 when I was the perfect age for one and then he graduated to buying Goldwings about every 4 years until 84. He kept that one until he died in 2018. So I had to ride my friends and I grew fast and got to big by 2nd or 3rd grade.I don't remember them coming out 'till after I was too old. Or just nobody in my neighborhood had one 'till then. I know that I never had one.
That explains it. I was 6 when they started, and onto bicycles. We moved out into the country, Temperance MI, a couple years later, and there was no pavement around.They made them from 69 to 81.

I've been saying that the MT-10 motor would fit the bill. I've predicted Yamaha using it for a while now. So far, I've been wrong.You would think if Yamaha wanted to it could build a 1200cc engine that has similar architecture to their 700 and plug into an S10 with very little effort. . . .
