RazorDXT Drift Trike Yellow, One Size

A little surprised there aren't already reviews of this product here, so here's mine.My amazing wife bought this for me for my birthday. My wife loves me. She knows how much I miss those childhood days of riding around in a Big Wheel(tm). I reminisced a lot while putting together our daughter's new Big Wheel(tm).Lo and behold, someone makes a Big Wheel(tm) that even adults can ride! Now I can go riding right along with my daughter, pulling off the same fun stunts... and then some!First and foremost, this thing is QUALITY! Smooth bearings, great welds, fantastic paint job, and very solid overall. My tools slipped a couple times while putting it together, and there wasn't any mark on the paint as a result. I'm really impressed. Speaking of tools, most of the ones you'll need are included, minus one wrench for 10mm bolts. I'm an avid cyclist, I've bought brand new high-end bikes and built my own from scratch using expensive components, and the quality of this little trike really amazed me. I had it all put together in less than 30 minutes without ever looking at the instructions. Mind you, I did put the rear end on upside down :) But I caught that mistake before taking it out for its first spin.And I do mean SPIN! After the initial period getting used to the dynamics of fighting my pedaling feet with my arms, I was able to take off down the driveway at frightening speed, turn the handlebars... and skid into a U-turn before I realized what was happening! WHAT A THRILL!!! I repeated this feat over and over again, and it didn't get old. Then, despite the fact that it was 9:30pm, pitch black outside and cold (December in Vermont), I decided to take the trike for a ride around the block.And this is where the trike truly shined... and where I struggled a bit. Just cruising down the road was easy enough, although it's a bit of a workout for both the legs and the arms. Going downhill is where this trike really comes into its own. It takes very little pedaling to keep the speed up, and it's super easy to toss the rear end into a long, controlled skid around bends. The front tire is very grippy, which lends a lot of control. As long as you've got the front wheel pointed where you want to go, the rest of the trike *should* follow. Just keep in mind you're occupying a lot of space when you're sliding.Going uphill is a different story. That's just a lot of hard pedaling and straining of the arms. Getting any kind of speed takes a lot of effort, and there really isn't much you can do as far as stunts. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun ride. But after the thrills of the downhills, the uphills by comparison feel like a bit of a... downer (pun intended).Now for the best part... I got this for my 39th birthday. I'm 6'1" tall and weigh just over 220 pounds. I thought my Big Wheel(tm) days were 30 years gone, yet here I am loving it all over again.

These drift trikes are the most fun I have had in a long time. My sister and I (both in our 50's) ride these all over. It's great exercise, but it is so much fun that you don't even realize how far you have gone. Highly recommend. I have had 2 of these for over 5 years and they are still the best!

The media could not be loaded. Built very well and so much fun!!! Weak spot is only the cheap blown plastic tires...But if you see our video, you'll see we had them fitted with 10 inch PVC Sleeves from a great seller on etsy. You will have to grind off some plastic to get them to fit, but you'll drift better and get a lot longer wear from the pvc sleeves. You gotta get one of these!!**UPDATE** Couple of months later....we've logged almost 75 miles on these things...We absolutely love them!! Another weak spot though...brake pads wear out too fast and need a lot of adjusting. Brake itself could be better too! Next year's upgrade lol. Take a look at a shot I added. Big wheels are now fully geeked out on what is probably our last ride of the season 🙁. Side view mirror, Bell, and front pannier added. All purchased right here on Amazon!

My son is adult size at 5'11 and 12 years old. He loves this bike and he doesn't look like a giant on it. This is adult sized. It is a bit cumbersome to carry and the weight is mid, not heavy but i wouldn't say light. Its great for exercise and working the smaller muscles of the leg that might prevent a child from riding a standard two wheeler. I highly recommend this bike. It is fast, so maybe get more than one adult to cover the child from running into things. lol

The media could not be loaded. Get outside and have fun! No excuses. Don’t know how to balance on a 2 wheeler? So what. Feel silly riding a big wheel as an adult? Get over yourself. This Razor product is like a time machine. I’m 6’0” , 220lbs , 50 and remain physically active, though I let myself go over the past 3 years. Didn’t matter at all. Riding on this with my wife was crazy fun. Loud as Hell on the pavement, but it didn’t matter to us since we were squealing even louder with delight.I was concerned about the weight limit and relied on the other reviewers who were 200lbs+. I don’t know that I would take this to a skate park and hit ramps with my extra weight (and stress on the frame), but I felt as solid on this trike as on my mountain bike. Zero tension noises from the frame. Zero wobble. The weld joints look excellent on both trikes that I bought.The ride position is as exactly as I remember on my big wheel and green machine, except my larger, too heavy frame does require that I hold myself up more. I can feel it in my hands, but the grip is plenty comfortable so I have no complaints. If you have absolutely no upper body strength and zero core strength, you might hate the riding position. But I don’t think anyone like that is buying this product.Don’t like people looking at you and passing judgment? Life’s too short to let strangers deprive you of fun because they might disapprove. Sit on one of these bada$$ trikes, and you’ll get plenty of stares. Also smiles. And thumbs up. And questions, LOTS of them.The build is simple. The design is brilliant. I was considering a drift trike that cost $425+ but it wasn’t in stock for two months. I kept looking and found this …. for $169. I was prepared to spend nearly $900 for two, so I saved nearly $600. Crazy!I knew it would be fun to ride this with my wife, and I wasn’t disappointed. We have an amazing time. In fact, our teenagers were jealous and begged to take them out after.As far as suggestions or expectations, I’d love to see an option to replace the rear wheels with rubber treads. I’d probably regret installing them because the plastic is just so loud, obnoxious and FUN, but it would make it easier to communicate with other riders and would be quiet enough to ride at night without waking neighbors. A quick release feature for the rear wheels, paired with a rubber tread option, would be 110% value added.I didn’t see it in the product description, but the trike comes with a long, bright yellow pendant flag for the back. Sitting so low to the ground, drivers might not see you. The bright flags are a great, safety idea. I didn’t install them, but intend to.[10 DAY UPDATE - REMOVED ONE STAR]PROBLEM 1: Riding for an hour and the pedal crank fell off. Seriously?! The bolt had come loose. This is not a bolt that is part of the installation process but should be. You would be well served to tighten the bolt, even apply some thread lock, before you ride. Minus one star.PROBLEM 2: I tightened the heck out of the seat bolts, but 3 of the 4 rattled loose and fell out. The result is a loose, shifting seat which is very annoying (and potentially dangerous). The solution poses a catch-22. You can apply thread lock to keep the bolts from rattling loose, but then you won't be able to easily adjust the seat for another rider. This wouldn't be such a problem if there wasn't so much shaking and rattling, but that's what you get with (fun) plastic rear wheels. HEY MANUFACTURER, can you please send me replacement seat bolts? I would remove a half star for this, but there's no option for it.PROBLEM 3: Not so much a problem, but a reminder to check your brakes. Adjust them and tighten them. The pads can be raised or lowered to come into maximum contact with the rim. Adjust them, then tighten the hex bolts so the brake pad stays in place. I found that after riding for a couple of days, the brake pads shifted and stopping became foot-powered. I consider this to be part of basic maintenance for any bike or vehicle, so I'm not bothered by this.
