- Some of the photo diary making our GX200 powered Drift trike. See the test here! • Motorized Drift trike ...
She started life as a crappy bmx and a pile of steel box section.
Rear axle bought complete as a go kart axle, Tyres are full width Kart rear slicks on 210mm rims, Seat is a steel tractor pan seat, the GX200 copy was degovorned and the throttle linkage modified as per many other youtube guides. Sleeves are 200mm MDPE supplied by Drift trikes UK, great guys and gave lots of helpful tips.
Keep watching for the test footage!!!

*I bought this trike so I could play outside with my 3 children. Tricycle **Latest.Bike** is well built and fun to ride. Great purchase overall!*
That is soo awesome to hear! I am so glad its still out there and providing fun to others :D
Congratulations. One of the best complete assembly of videos of a drift. Wonderful.
Greetings from Brazil
A great video! I have watched it quite a few times and took a lot of ideas from your build to help me with mine. You did a great job documenting all the details and I found it very motivating with my own project. I just wanted to say thanks!!
I can highly recommend using front kart tyres on rear rims after yesterday's testing. Rear tyres on rear rims do not take sleeves easily & 4.5" stretched by popping with starter fluid & fire was a job worth doing. Now sleeves slip right on & hold with 35psi.
Sorry for late replies, no laptop at the moment and can't see comments properly on iPad... To answer a few common questions the engine mount is a piece of 8mm thick steel plate welded on all edges top & bottom directly to the rear beam. The chain adjustment is made using the slack between the m10 bearing bolts and the 18mm holes in the bearing blocks (whole axle slides back and fourth just enough then tightened to 50nm). All the bolts are high tensile metric with massive washers to spread the load on stress points. I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the songs. The box sections are 40x40 3mm walled and 40x60 4mm walled mild steel. The axle is 1000mm wide. Hope this info helps & good luck with your own projects 👍🏻

Nice build, some good tips i've picked up for the build i want to do too!
Great video by the way, you inspired me to to build one like this. My first welding project.
Thanks that means a lot! This was mine & my brother in laws first time welding too. We spent £60 on a beat up gas MIG using disposable co2 canisters & soon got the hang of it. 0.6mm wire was significantly easier and neater than the 0.8mm stuff it came with. Get yourself an auto darkening mask though it's worth every penny & it's clear enough to do your grinding & paint prep with too. Good luck!
Cheers, i think i might get one myself for my project.
We are making one of these at highschooland they are so much fun yours looks great by the way
Good luck they're awesome fun!
Nice to watching,Nice to thinking,probably Nice to driving !
Going to have to make one of theses now down in Guildford
The music alone deserves a like. XD
I'm sold imma have to stop my car projects to do this
definitely one of the cleaner ones that I've seen built...
pretty please tell me what that last song was
dude upload a parts list , cost , links if you can . I want to build one lmao gd video thanks
I can not find the pinion for the GX 200 you where you found
very nice project
Real cool drift trike must say . wanted to ask what used for dimensions you for as rectangular frame . Sorry for my bad english .
wow, just came across this and im glad to see yours works with this design! i had the same idea to use the rear arms of the bike welded to the rear frame and was told it will twist! well mine looks very similar to this but i didn't use bolts from bike to rear frame just welded it up, its 95% done just waiting on new throttle and cable plus a little more welding to support the seat area as i have noticed that its starting to bend a little. if im honest my second one will have a custom front end not going to use a bike frame, another thing i have noticed is throttle is no good when running on the governor arm as its all or nothing so will be hooking it up direct and next oil change removing the internals. i know this video is over a year old but do you any advice? cheers
do you have the measurements for everything and where to get the axles, tires and rims? thanks
Could you please make a list of all the parts needed to make this and some good places to buy them? It would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thumbs up
can you give me a list of things i would need to build this trike? I wanna do a nice project with my lil boy before winter hits.
can you put a link to the parts that you used to make the rear axle please or tell me the parts size and everything
idk if u would know but i have a minibike and i want to put two wheels on the back but i dont know if i need a whole new motor or what parts. Please help!!!!!!!
@xsamp86 is it a twist throttle and if it it is how is it connected because it looks like it's not connected.
Nice build , whats the measurement from the front tire to the rear because I'm building mine and yours looks like a perfect size build?
Bro please share the parts with us, my problem is the clutch... which clutch is there on the gx 200?
good build man what size tubing for rear axle and engine frame
40x40mm 2.5mm wall square box steel, 60x40mm 4mm box for the rear beam & front frame joiner. I think it was about 600mm wide & 400ish deep but I've since sold this project for the next one!
How does the axel not go back and fourth?
Could you make a parts list please!
Thanks
There are grub screws built into the pillow block bearings which prevent it sliding through 👍🏻
can you kindly give me some measurements of the square box portion
hello i am building a trike drift like yours ..
You tell me where to find the clutch? and how to find it?
I wish that axle kit was still available
It's not a kit, but it's cheaper to buy a complete used kart axle so you get your sprocket carrier & hubs included. That way you just have to buy pillow block bearings same size, adapt a blank sprocket of your choice & bang on any old set of kart wheels 😉
hey how does it keep from the axle sliding back and fourth?
Do all chainsaw engines look like that when you take the chainsaw appart? I dont mean the excact same measurments, but just the general mechanics?
Where can I get such a big sprocket?? Please help me
Hi I want to know how many horsepower should be for the engine
how long is the length and width of the back
square piece on the trike
What size square tubing you use and measurements
waar bestel je die lagers waar het achter as in komt
Do you remember the measure of the rear chassis
can u send a link from the clutch you used ? :D
how did you run the throttle cable?
how wide is the frame in the back
what kind of motor do u use
you are the best
Hi, I am building a motorized trike for a school project. We have a design similar to yours. We are having difficulty designing the mechanism in which the motor will be, in your video it is like a brown metal box where the engine is. How did you build that part and do you have any advice for our project? Thanks.
+Noah Stonehill Its just a square of thick steel plate welded straight onto the box section frame on all the edges that meet. 4 holes and thats it!
what is the dance song witht he piano? i need tht song in my life!!
+xsamp86 nice bike :D could you send me a link from were you get the axle
Where did you get the axle pillow?
eBay. I searched 30mm pillow block bearing and found some for £8.90 each posted. They're seriously heavy duty looking & have grease points and pinch grub screws to hold the axle. Mounting holes are a huge 16mm but I used this space with m10 bolts and 30mm washers to tension my chain.
Yeah man this is sick, wanting to build one my self do you know it there's any blue prints/drawings around I can use? And is there much welding to it?
+Jay Cooper I drew up my own but have sinse lost them! Theres no exact science to it, some put the engine in front or above the axle but they all start with a pushbike and an angle grinder! You just sort of make it up as you go along lol There's a fair bit of welding but I made this project to learn how & had fun. good luck
song please?:)
What you use for sleeves on tyres please? Tube brand, where did you buy? Please a neeed help... :)
Michal Stepanek you can use PVC piping.
They are MDPE 250mm tube bought from DrifttrikesUK. Lasts well but not cheap buying it in small amounts
what is the song at the start?
Nice video! I was wondering what size material did you use for your rear end and what are the dimemsion? going to build one myself looking for any tips
40mm square box with 3mm wall and 40x80 4mm wall for the rear section where the engine mount welds to. The chain guard is an office chair leg. It's all OTT and as such is heavy but who cares when your not pedalling 😁
+xsamp86 whats the measurements of the box In inches
what is you sprocket convertion?
@xsamp86 what kind of engine are you using and would a pressure washer motor work as well?
Top 10 Interesting Im pretty sure its a Honda gx200 clone and yes a pressure washer motor would work
What's to stop your shirt from getting snagged in the sprocket?
+Zane Rader An upcycled steel chairleg acts as a guard so you cant fall into it directly and also catches the chain lube. You could enclose the sides with any sheet material and a couple of brackets but i liked it open
What type of chain is this ?
foarte tare
where do you take the wheels from?
Last song please?
Hola muy bueno el trike me diste una idea como poder hacerme un yo 👍👍👋
Ill look into those masks. 1 more question i have used a bike frame aswell the exact same way as you, have you had any strenght issues in the frame ( bmx part).
We were concerned about the bottom bracket so we did 2 passes of weld around all the tubes and welded in a small piece of tube (shown in vid but poorly) underneath to overlap the BB she'll and downtube. The rear stays were played with steel salvaged from a plumbing expansion vessel about 1.5mm thick & welded top and bottom on all edges inc where it meets the BB and the box section where the wheel axle would have gone. I'm 14st and my brother in law is 18st and so far so good. It's all about nice fat beads of weld & if it looks ugly it soon cleans up with a grinder ;)
Lol excuse the autocorrect spelling...you get the gist of it!
Right...don't judge, this is unlisted footage I cut from the video because since taking; the throttle was redone after degovorning, the additional downtube reinforcement hadn't been added and bigger washers were put on the frame bolts as we had a bit of flex in initial tests. Since making adjustments it's solid as a rock... th-cam.com/video/UZymJJUjRx4/w-d-xo.html
Do u think u could build the back half that the engine is mounted on out of wood?
Only if it was a serious piece of engineered ply. I actually broke the motor mount plate clean off in my first test on a bump. Welder ran out of gas, being the last bit I chanced it & it hadn't taken. Lesson was learnt & I did a second pass of weld in several key areas & reinforced where the down tube meets the bottom bracket. I'd say stick with heavy gauge steel plate if you can.
+xsamp86 yeah I asked about wood because I have no experience welding, but... Thanks anyway
+Dan Graz neither did I... This was my learning project ;) get a used gas Mig & have a go 👍🏻 0.6mm wire
what is that for a motor?
What engine did you use
Sorry for my ignorance, but what keeps the axle from sliding back and forth in the bearings? Are there just sleeves preventing it between them and the tires?
The inner race of each bearing is about 5mm wider than the outer race and this lip has 2 grub screws to pinch up the axle. It's a snug fit & that's enough on its own.
+xsamp86 Was just looking at that on another site. Thank you for clearing it up
Is this seat comfortable, especially on the back??
Comfortable might be the wrong word but it does hold you in nicely, the angle you sit holding the bars at means there's no real need to lean back but I can get the bars at 90degrees without any straining.
FCKNG Great great work man..... good luck in new projects from czech republic
Te felicito PAPA
want to buy it how much
2:25 song please
nice
Como pusiste el.piñon
a onde comprou tudo
How engine?
what a engine is that
que motos usaste???
que motor es
Can you say the inches?
Total cost?
q motor es ese
Looks awesome! well done!! they are a blast to build and ride! check out the video of mine if you have time.
What width axle did you use
1000mm x25mm with 6mm keyways
Damn i wish i had a welder...
can i use pocket bike wheel???
I looked into it and due to the amount of machining involved the cheapest option was to use a standard kart axle and hub setup. The sprocket was drilled and fastened to the back side of the brake disc carrier I already had and centred by spray painting a template onto the old disc and using it as a drill guide on the blank sprocket 👍🏻
les dimensions s'il vous plait
levou sorte no eixo aqii no BRASIL ta 250 $$
Hi, tell me where to buy this seat?
I got mine on eBay (search tractor pan seat) for about £20 inc postage, it comes in bare steel so will need painting or stickerbombing :)
Thank you)
I just want a motor to get around my town.
what motor did you use
+AllnightersAxN Its a Honda GX200 clone made by 'villers'
About how much would you say you have invested into this build?
Around £350, £155 of which was on a new engine & centrifugal clutch to match our sprocket. The wheels, bearings and axle with carriers & hubs make up about £100, the Bmx and steel were scrap from our local recycling centre bought for a few beer tokens & the seat, bolts, cables & thumb throttle make up the rest (all from eBay). Finally I had to buy 10" mdpe tube at a whopping £40 but if you can source this from a builder it's better bought in lengths.
I've been trying to decide between building one of these and a GOKART it's just hard to decide between the two. The trike is only really suitable for smooth pavement vs a kart I can at least get a little versatility from.
+John Smith I had a similar thought but there is literally nothing like the feeling of these things! Karts are fun though
Can you make it also with a chainsaw engineer (a smaller one for a kid) ? Looks Nice
-ENGINE-
+janijmte verhoeff Thanks, i have seen a video on here using a 49cc mini moto engine, seemed to work well, I think a chainsaw engine might go though clutches a bit quick.
+xsamp86 and what kind of motor are u using couse maybe i can buy the same motor somewhere
+janijmte verhoeff I'm using a Honda gx200 clone & if anything it's overpowered. £120 posted on eBay brand new
+Dylan Walker about a week to source major parts after making a list & drawing ideas for how to attach a bmx frame to a rectangular subframe. Total build around 2months of Sunday's & we then added some additional welds after we fractured the engine mount on a pothole (turns out when you run out of co2 on a mig you really can't chance those last 2 welds without lol)
im making one BUT MY WHEELS ARE BIGGER :DDD
top speed?
I think around 25mph with the current gearing which is more than enough for lots of torque and sideways action!
wth??? no video of the ride???
are you considering selling it?
Unfortunately not, but check out eBay, I have seen a couple similar to ours on there 👍🏻
you got the idea from colinfurze.
The original concept actually came from a hybrid after reading www.instructables.com/id/Motorized-Drift-Trike/ and seeing th-cam.com/video/4-eC2UN8qTg/w-d-xo.html. Colin furze did indeed also build a geared trike some time after mine but feel free to screenshot my original sketches for your own reference. I wanted to make a removable subframe mainly for transport & storage rather than come straight off the front frame which is why I've used such excessively thick material for the rear stay block & reinforced it. Weighs a flipping ton mind. The axle/kart setup is purely for convenience as it costs as much to buy a used assembly as it does to make one up unless you've got a lathe ;o)
você vai dizer assim, mas você já passou da idade
si eu respondo que se dane eu quero um brinquedinho desses aí
