It turned out to be a bit more difficult than I expected. Thank you all for your input.

The original scooter (I believe) was a 'plank', two wheels and handlebars. Operated usually standing with the right foot on the plank and 'kicking' against the ground with the left foot.
Motor-powered versions came later.

Yes, you have the right idea.

I just want to get this question right. Paul Lambert is looking for a toy car that is powered in the same way as the Flintstones' car, i.e. thanks to the foot power of the person(s) riding it. If I understand it right that is an important point in this very question. Apparently, there are many different ways to call this type of toy, and some of these cars are either powered by batteries, pedals or even gasoline (???!!!).

@Alison - foot-to-floor makes a lot of sense.
