* ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'':
** In one episode's ending chase, Hill's character takes a little girl's hoop & stick and uses that as his vehicle. (To clarify, a hoop & stick is a running toy, so it's actually no help in going faster.)
** In the final episode, Hill gets in a slow moving maze boat (which runs on tracks) to get away from a mob, while the mob boards a boat behind his. In both cases, there is a land area around which would be faster to run on instead of riding the boats.

As if this all weren't weird enough, the rickshaws also ''[[MadeOfExplodium explode]]'' when they crash.[[note]]According to WordOfGod, when the sequence was first created, the programmers simply designed a rickshaw skin to overlay on the physics used by the game's [[EveryCarIsAPinto cars]] and didn't bother to disable the "explodes on crash" flag during testing.

* The villainous Ratigan in Disney's ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'' flees with {{moe}} Olivia as his hostage in an airship powered by a bicycle-like assembly at its tail. Ratigan is pursued by TheHero Basil of Baker Street in a makeshift helium balloon powered by jetting the gas from the balloon's bottom. The chase runs a merry distance over London; Ratigan's Fidgit-powered craft jettisons Fidgit, and Ratigan himself propels the craft, while Basil's balloon stays close behind despite bleeding off copious amounts of helium.
* An example of the villain using an unconventional vehicle occurs in ''Disney/TheAristocats'': Edgar winds up trying to escape from Napoleon and Lafeyette on a "one-wheel haystack."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}'' makes a habit of this. In one episode, Fillmore does a Flashed Badge Hijack to commandeer a floor buffer to pursue a suspect.
* Fagan rides a scooter ''cum'' shopping cart in Disney's ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'' while trying to flee from the malicious Sykes in a large sedan. Both vehicles enter a subway station and leap onto the tracks. Fagan's hybrid judders badly on the ties between the rails, while Sykes sedan neatly rides the rails on its wheels' rims.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' Sideshow Bob tries to fly to safety by stealing the Wright Brothers' original airplane. The Air Force have to chase after him on foot because their interceptor planes fly too fast, and in the end Air Force personnel driving tanks accidentally run it over, crushing it.

The heroes need to getaway from danger, or [[HotPursuit pursue an escaping villain]]. Sounds like it's time for a [[ChaseScene high-speed car chase]]. The ideal form of transport would be a {{Badass}} looking car, [[RuleOfCool with insanely high top speeds, and being capable of impossible manoeuvres]]. Though chances are the dream vehicle isn't conveniently lying around, so the hero will have to make do with whatever's available.
The substitute vehicle can be very bizarre at times, with popular choices being a fire engine, tow truck, or a tank. Expect the driver to utilize the vehicle's built-in features to gain an advantage, as well as a lot of destruction to the surroundings.
