A Real vintage HOP ROD gas-powered POGO STICK. It is not currently running, we have not tried it, but maybe it could be restored. It is intact and has all its original parts.
HOWEVER, as this product was banned in the late 1970's due to it obvious health risks, we are not recommending it be used for anything but entertainment or decor.
That being said, here are some comments from HOP ROD enthusiasts:
"A pogo stick which is, in essence, a small gasoline motor. The connecting rod for the piston is the foot of the pogo stick, and the bouncing action fires the spark plug through a magneto. You fill the tank, turn on the switch, and bounce... and each bounce takes you higher... and higher..."
"Think of riding a jackhammer, without a hose tethering you to a compressor." That's all I can say about it.
