I'm trying to find out the correct name for a toy that was around about 20 - 25 years ago.. well thats when i used it.

It's a skateboard looking thing with 3 wheels. 1 wheel in the front and 2 wheels in the back,

There were pully strings on it as well to steering,,

You could also change the area you stand on so you could sit on it as well

If anyone know what i'm on about do you know what it's called.

My girlfriend thinks it's called a Lala bike or something like that.

Anyone know what it is ?
