Cyclops (toy company)

Cyclops is an Australian manufacturer of toys, primarily known for children's pedal cars.

The business was founded by John Heine Sheet Metal[1] at Leichhardt, New South Wales in 1913.

[2] In 1963 Cyclops Pty Ltd celebrated its 50th anniversary by winning the Australian Wheel toy of the year.

Although the original style of toy is no longer available their appeal has continued as they are viewed as Australian icons and for many bring back memories of childhood.

Groups such as Pedalmania[4] which began in Luddenham Sydney in 1997 collect information and photographs which bring happy memories of childhood in Australia.
