Mini Cycle

Mini Cycle was released by Bally Manufacturing during the late 1960s, capitalizing on the growing popularity of motorcycle culture and the emerging youth market's fascination with motorsports. This electro-mechanical pinball machine represented a period when themed games were becoming increasingly important in arcade entertainment.

The machine's design likely featured motorcycle-themed artwork and playfield elements that captured the excitement of motorcycle racing and stunts. As an electro-mechanical game from this era, it would have utilized the traditional scoring reels, chimes, and bells characteristic of pre-electronic pinball machines. The gameplay would have focused on hitting various targets and rollover switches to advance scores and activate special features.

While not one of Bally's most famous titles, Mini Cycle represents an important transition period in pinball history, when manufacturers were increasingly exploring specific themes and narratives in their games. The motorcycle theme would have appealed to the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and the growing interest in motorcycle sports and culture during this period.
