Verrado by Local Motors

Description

Drift Trikes are essentially adult big-wheels, a tricycle with a 20" front wheel on a BMX fork, and rear wheels consisting of go-kart tires lined with 10" PVC or HDPE pipe. The plastic sleeve on the rear wheels allows for super easy drifting, even at low speed. This sport started out with downhill runs, but is evolving into flatland electric powered racing.
