drift trike

Slippery three-wheeler

A drift trike is a three-wheeled vehicle designed for controlled sliding around corners.

It has a standard front wheel for steering and two hard plastic rear wheels with minimal traction, allowing the back end to swing out during turns.

Riders typically coast downhill on paved surfaces, initiating drifts by shifting weight and steering: We spent the afternoon drift triking in the empty parking garage.
