The appeal and popularity of the Green Machine stems from the product's sliding and spinning capabilities. Using two stick shift-type levers, the rider controls the steering and braking action for 180 degree spins and slides. A number of innovative updates have been applied to the initial design for improved performance. A new extra wide front tire with a semi-slick tread has been added for improved steering traction and the bike now boasts futuristic Vapor Green components on the frame, wheel spokes, pedals and grips.

"Since the 1960's, the Green Machine has thrilled kids of all ages. It is the perfect product for thrill-riders," said Ray Thomson, vice president of marketing for Huffy. "It's great for family fun. Nearly anyone can ride it. Videos posted on our website and YouTube show teens, adults and kids of all ages having a great time showing off their styles of sliding and spinning the Green Machine."

Recently, Huffy has sold more than 600,000 Green Machines in the U.S. and 19 foreign countries such as Australia, Trinidad, Ireland and the Dominican Republic. People from across the globe connect on the Huffy website to check out the Green Machine microsite to post videos, discuss the product and download information, truly making it an international phenomenon.
