I'm actually really curious as to how that kid is managing to drift that thing... these old three wheelers were notorious for flipping over if you tried to do that. That's why they ended up getting banned.
Like even on 4-wheeled machines, it takes skill. Body positioning, weigh shifting, throttle management....
Shits easy once you're on the thing for a while. Less pussy more steering.
Watch how he shifts his weight to put more pressure on the inside wheel. If you know how to steer and counterweight properly these things can drift like mad. This kid's really good!
That thing had a low center of gravity. He's only heavy enough to be a good ballast.
It's possible, but it'd be harder as an adult on an adult trike.
The tires don't have a lot of tread on them which is making it easier for the little guy. If they did, that man's lawn would look like a dirt track.
