Video: Drifting Pedal-Powered Tricycles: Sure, Why Not

tricycle-drifting

A big mountain, a road winding its way around it, a camera car, a few tricycles and some nutters to ride the things.  Mix together on video, stir, and you’ve got yourself instant interweb fame.

Here’s one some Aussie lads prepared earlier.  Click through for the juice.

It looks like I’ve been left out of the loop on this fad, because a quick look at the list of related videos on YouTube reveals that more than a few devotees are praying at the alter of trike-drifting.

The real question is, given the front-wheel-drive layout of these sliders, can this really be called drifting?  Can a Honda Civic drift, or is it merely hanging its tail out?

Thanks, Sp33dy!

That is awesome. Maybe they should try lengthening the wheelbase somehow, it would make the handling less snappy and the drifts more controllable (and longer). Looks a lot of fun

Do you know where to buy these?

If its not drifting its similar. There judging angles and what not.

I have the same question as Greg… where can I buy these?
