Help me identify this cartoon I remember seeing as a kid in Los Angeles in the mid-to-early 70's.
Here's what I remember:
1) The characters rode around in a
monowheel. It looked like a huge automobile tire, big enough that they could sit inside a globular glass cockpit in the center.
2) I seem to remember it being set in a forest or jungle, but I might be confusing it with
Kimba the White Lion, which I also used to watch.
3) It seemed foreign. I sort of suspect it might have been Japanese, but I've poked around some sites discussing early anime in the U.S. and I didn't find it. Maybe it was European?
I've poked around quite a bit
here, but no joy. Oh, and let me save you the trouble of suggesting
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, because that's not it. I should mention that my memories of this show are really vague, just a couple of images, and it's possible it was actually a single episode of another show, like maybe Speed Racer.
