Who is it for? Beginners to drifting, ages 12+ up to 150 lbs.
- 500W front hub motor — enough to drift, not overwhelming
- Slick rear wheels for sliding
- Low center of gravity
- 48V battery — 25+ minutes of drifting
- Front disc brake
- Steel frame
The starter drift trike: Lower power means slower drift speeds — more time to react and correct. Learn the technique here, then upgrade to the 800W.
