Still in contact with the child that used to live inside you? Great, we have a very sweet gift for him or her, in the shape of the DSF Industries Big Wheel Drift Trike, the motorized version. And since this contraption was designed and created by people who mean business, “big wheel” is more than empty advertising soap bubbles – you’ll get a really big front wheel, 26 inches in diameter. But the cool things which are already putting a big smile on your face don’t just stop here.
The Big Wheel Drift Trike comes with a solid frame carefully designed for the purpose, made from .095 chro-moly steel and CNC bent to perfection and perfect replication. Matching forks and bars are also made by DSF Industries and everything is powder coated in stick trim, but almost everything can be customized, as you’ve probably guessed.
A 6.5 hp engine seems more than enough to drift 3” rear wheels
DSF Industries loaded 3” wheels on their Big Wheel Drift Trike and replaceable plastic sleeves can easily be installed on them. The rear aluminium axle sports anodized components to match the black anodized rims and the rear section also comes with hydraulic brakes for improved control.
These trikes are supplied ready to ride, and are complete with everything you need to start drifting in your neighborhood right away. The standard version of the Big Wheel Drift Trike is available for $2,400 (€2,130 by today’s exchange rates) but you can make them a lot cooler with the upgrades DSF Industries has prepared for you.
You can add custom colors and two-tone paint, motocross grips and twist throttle, disc-operated front brakes, a fuel cell and dust plate, and even a Bluetooth speaker with the corresponding mount or a “Big Man Upgrade” structural reinforcement for riders over 300 lbs (136 kg). If you want the full makeover plus engine upgrades, the Big Wheel Drift Trike will run you around $3,555 (€3,155) but the fun factor is also going to go through the roof.
Truth is that if you’re not shy of showing up aboard such a trick machine and slide your way around the block, you now you have the best machine to do so. Only this time, we doubt that anyone will be making fun of you as you’ll be zooming by in so much style.
