My KE100 drift trike build in progress

13 Upvotes

Got the wild idea to turn an old Kawasaki KE100 into a drift trike, and this is what it looks like so far. Most of the drift trikes I’ve seen are either built from four stroke bikes or have Predator engines, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one runs as an ~18hp two stroke.

Part 1 of the build video series here:

Chinese trikes

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Lately I have been seeing a lot of online ads for Chinese eelctric and gas powered trikes.

Today I decided to check it out and see what the webshop is all about, I'm not so sure if it is a scam or not. Prices seem very cheap as well.

https://edrifttrikes.shop/

What do you guys think?

Anyone ever hear of a pedal drift trike model or brand "Triker S3"

3 Upvotes

Every search i try it autocorrects me to something else, everything on the bike is labeled "Triker" and it has Triker S3 on the tube. Seems pretty legit to have everything branded but cannot find a single google result with even "Triker" as a brand.

Do you need a live axle for a drift trike

Post image
5 Upvotes

I got some go kart wheels from my friend and they're all wheels with built in bearings except one, which has four mounting holes that bolt into a sprocket he gave me. I was wondering if it would be fine to just drive that wheel, or would I have to figure out a way to drive both rear wheels despite the other lacking a live mounting solution.

Razor DXT any advice?

1 Upvotes

Looking to build a few electric dxt trikes. I’ve got the trikes already, just need all the other stuff.

I know I need the wheel hub (front wheel 20”) along with the battery and controller.

I don’t even know where to begin as far as what size battery and what kind of controller, throttle, wiring and all that. There are many options online and there’s a few posts on here about it. I’m new to this kind of stuff so kinda need it dumbed down. Just want a simple build if I can.

Any help is appreciated guys.

Engine size?

2 Upvotes

I'm 6 ft 260... Should I be going with a 150 or 200 as opposed to a lot of the 125s that I see? I'd like to find one with a 3-speed gearbox so that I can have some top end on it...

What are the pros and cons of the major drifters, riprider type trikes?

1 Upvotes

Triad models, riprider, standup trike scooters, electric riprider, crazy kart shuffle type things, razor dtx, etc.

And what all can you do with them? Just spin on flat ground or can you go up things like banks, quaterpipes, ramps and spin? I would like options like bar spins, go from drift to caster mode, not be loud or wear out fast, affordable, possibly ajust in size, and fit an adult. I also want one for a 10 year old that xan do most those things. It seems like the triads are best, but not sure.

The 10yearold wants the riprider but not sure if theres something better. Im ok with going with used ones.

Around me the ripriders go like 30, dtx like 50-100, eripriders are 40 and 3 available, triads about 100-200, e-dtx like 200. Also, do these trikes have caster brakes or are they like bmx bikes or are they fixies?

I also seen things like veneers that go on the wheels to make them last longer and be quiter. What ones do th​ey work With?

As far as the stand up trikes, how do they compare? Easier to do things with? And travel/move? same with etrike vs pedal. and whats the realistic weight limit?

How do razor rip rider, green machine, and the razor drifter compare?

1 Upvotes

My nephew (9) wants a riprider but the look a little small. Are the drifters bigger? Do they have ones like the riprider but bigger or tgat you can put different wheels on? Do they all have coster brakes? Are there ones that can be battery optional or all you stuck with the battery if you buy that one?
