RIP Masters of the Universe big wheel. We had some good battles against Frankie's Knight Rider big wheel and Boner's A-Team big wheel. Those were the days.
At some point pushing along with feet will no longer be easier than using the pedals. Your kid will get it eventually. Maybe hop on a bike yourself and let him chase you around on the trike. When he can't catch up, he may give the pedals a try.
You could also have him put his feet on the pedals and push him around. It will build muscle memory. I've taught kids as young as three to ski. Once they get a feel for something, they'll remember. It's just a matter of figuring out how to get them to experience what they're supposed to do.
