Electric drift trikes are definitely fun, especially for those who refuse to grow up. We've seen proper trikes in action, powered either by gasoline-burning engines and electric motors, and we vouch for them: these vehicles ARE as cool as they get.

If you live in a region where the winter time is not exactly friendly for riding but you feel like you could enjoy a good dose of drifting, the trike in the video after the jump may be the ultimate Christmas gift.
While trikes usually employ rear-wheel-drive, this sweet toy comes with all-wheel-drive, and this makes everything much better, adding to the maneuverability of the toy and the overall fun factor.
There is something post-apocalyptic about this toy, most likely because of its rider and the rat-ish design of the bike. Still, the technology used in this trike belongs to the present days, and makes drifting like a mad man entirely possible.
We haven't been able to find out too much about this electric drift trike, so we can't say if it needs a special controller or a smartphone. Given how advanced RC controllers are today, building a smartphone/tablet app that puts you completely in charge of the drift antics sounds like a very handy solution.
Likewise, there is no telling as to whether this is a one-off contraption or a toy produced on a larger scale. It doesn't look particularly difficult to build, though, so we can hope that whoever made this is smart enough to head over to a website like Indiegogo or Kickstarter and raise some money to secure enough funds for a heftier production run. This kind of project could become a goldmine in no time if it gets viral.
Maybe it's too late for this Christmas, but sometimes, the best presents are not necessarily linked to a holiday.
