I've been thinking of making a drift trike for a while now. They are gnarly as fuck and look really fun! Anyone else built or bought a drift trike.

There's a few kids at my school that have been fabricating them in metal shop they are really easy to make. I rode one once and they are a lot of fun

Drift trike? You mean a fucking big wheel?


Yeah it's cool you want to rip around on one because they're amazingly fun but jesus, you're such a fucking tool for trying to call it something different. IT'S A BIG WHEEL FOR ADULTS.

Not sure what they use but the standard is to use PVC piping.

Know someone who will make them.

My friends do it. About 300 a trike. I know they have plans online, but no actual kits

I mean, I guess it would probably be fun to try, but god damn does that look stupid. I won't even go into how fucking retarded it is to be riding a children's big wheel in traffic.

It's exactly like the scootering thing: when it comes down to it, no matter if it looks sick, you are still an old guy doing something made for little kids
