Yes, I remember friction-powered toys! Had several of them I am sure. They would be more properly called "flywheel-drive". You pushed them initially to spin the flywheel up to speed and then that stored energy kept them going for a ways. IIRC they didn't last very long because energetic pushing tended to strip the gears, of which there were several speed multiplication steps.
