Other mistake: Whenever Fozzie is driving the Studebaker, the movements of the car don't correspond to the way he moves the steering wheel (he tends to crank it back and forth a lot).

10/10. Positively one of the best Muppet movies ever made. I grew up on this and Follow That Bird. It's wonderful from start to finish with stellar performances from the Muppet people to the guest stars. Charles Durning, Madeline Kahn, Telly Salvalas, Steve Martin, and Richard Pryor are genius here. Kermit and friends are priceless here, showing Jim Henson's genius. He was a brilliant kind man who worked hard on great stuff like this for the sake of entertaining people. Nobody has come as close to being like Jim Henson.I loved "The Rainbow Connection" and "Moving Right Along", great songs. If anyone were to ask me what I consider one of the best family oriented movies ever made I'd answer "The Muppet Movie."

Answer: The closest thing to an answer is here, Martin Becker's obituary. His family states that it was a robotic Kermit on a bicycle. Outside of that, everyone else associated with the movie has been quiet on the subject.http://www.fridaythe13thfilms.com/saga/part5/martinbecker.html.

They used gyros in the wheels - Martin Becker made the first self-driving bike for that movie-now the same tech is used in the self-driving bikes seen in the Netherlands. -Diana Becker, Martin's widow.
