The original Zippers were rim drive for the main axle and shaft driven on the outer axles. This one appears to be from the late 70's. This is a classic. There is a lot of character with the original lighting package.
The tires should not squeal like that when they first engage. Unless it just rained and they haven't dried the rims off. If not, they need to put more air in the drive tires, or their electric motors aren't tight enough on the bull wheels. 8 years experience running a '76 Zipper.
I'd love to see one run at 11 & 7 rpms - I rode one a few years ago and remembered it being a lot faster when I was a kid. Adrenaline junky here... faster the better :)
@@KingKidKobra_ yes that’s right! So, my mom is actually obsessed with this ride, she’s been riding this same one since she was in highschool, and the same dude with the ultra long ponytail and the other guy with the backwards hat are always running it, they have run it in both directions and given longer rides for her. Lol
