Northern Australian ‘Cane Toad’. Imported many years ago from South America to keep down pests eating sugar cane plants. Became a pest itself. Now covers a large part of Northern Australia. This is a particularly large one.

It operates just by tilting your weight forward or back to accelerate.

I’ll bet it’s a chich to ride for anyone who can do wheelies ;-))
