Fortunately, you can use the electric tricycle on your own property. Think of your own garden, driveway or other private property. Please note: the sidewalk is also part of the public road. If you are found there, riding the electric Drift Trike, the police may decide to fine you. The tricycle can also be confiscated.
Who is the electric Drift Trike suitable for?
On site, it is mainly young children who use the electric trike. This is good for a child's motor skills and you can already teach them something about the traffic rules. The tricycle is a nice intermediate step between a bicycle with support wheels and a bicycle without support.
What are important selection criteria?
When selecting an electric Drift Trike, there are a number of things you should pay attention to. For example, all versions have a standard motor (250W, 36V) and battery. You can also opt for extras such as a Bluetooth speaker or LED lights in the two small wheels at the back. Of course you also choose the color that suits you. It is also important to know what the maximum charging time is and for what age a trike is suitable.
Which models are there?
There are different models of electric Drift Trike available. For example, you have the:
- MADD Kids Drift Trike 16 inch
- Sullivan Junior Big Wheel Slider Drift Trike
- Counter Measure 3 Junior Chrome
The models may differ slightly, but again this is a matter of taste. For example, some versions have a remote control, others do not. The common denominator is that the public road may not be used.
