Drift trike

From the original 8mm film footage and a Los Angeles Times report, the design of modern-day drift trikes remains similar to Spellman's creation.

The resurgence of drift triking began in New Zealand and is spreading to countries including Australia, the United States, Columbia, and various European nations.

Coarse, chipseal roads tend to wear rear wheels faster, create a rougher ride, and reduce drifting ability.

Standing on the rear of the trike while kicking or pushing backward with one leg is another common method of gaining momentum.

The short wheelbase, or distance between the front and rear axles, allows riders to more easily initiate and maintain slides.

BlackTop Engineering released the first adult's fuel-driven drift trike with a suspension system and "G-Force Bars".

Many districts, regions, and countries require the use of helmets, brakes, a rear red reflector, and front lights.
