Default My S2k's Sidekick

Hey s2ki!

I wanted to share my latest project. It's an electric drift trike. I'm interested to get your feedback so let me know what you think!

It can do about 25+ miles if you are looking to cover distance but if you are doing a drift session and running the motor hard, it will have enough juice to last ~1.5 hours. Depends a lot on rider weight and how you ride it. It's very, very easy to spin the front wheel.

Looks like fun. Who makes it and how much? I picked up a Razor Crazy Cart on clearance a few months ago for $120.

I made it. In terms of price, let's just say I could have bought a decent set of coils for the S. Razor makes some fun stuff! How fast can you go on the crazy cart?

I'm impressed. The build quality looks like it's been "manufactured". I think the top speed is 12mph. It gets sketchy on those speeds since the back wheels are casters and no brakes..lol.

Pretty cool. I agree with arsenal, music does suck.

Saw something like this on the show 'Shark Tank". Although not electric:

Let me take it back. I should say I assembled it. It's a gravity drift trike (manufactured) that I modified to mate to a electric hub motor.

12mph is not bad but I'd imagine a full size adult might have trouble getting it up to that speed. The major problem I'm trying to solve now is power. For someone my weight about 150-160lbs, this thing is a blast. But I let my 190lb friend ride it and it slows down considerably. Like our cars, power and price go hand in hand
