Electric Drift Trike Answers Consumer Calls for
Adult Version of Legendary Kids’ Ride-on
Since the 2023 launch of the Huffy 20” Green Machine, adults
have been asking for a ride that offers the same kind of adventure,
fun, and thrill of “Drifting the Ride” that kids get on their Green
Machines. Today, Huffy answered the call with the launch of the new
Electric Green Machine, a powerhouse drift-trike packed with a
250-watt motor that allows riders ages 14 and up to reach speeds up
to 15 mph.

“The Electric Green Machine is a first-of-its-kind product and
an exciting continuation of Huffy’s legacy of innovation and fun,
as well as a welcome addition to the Green Machine family,” said
Bruno Maier, President and COO of United Wheels. “For nearly 50
years, kids have experienced the exhilarating thrill of turning and
drifting, and now parents who enjoyed the Green Machine in their
youth can share that same thrill with their children, creating
lifelong memories and a special bond that spans generations.”
Available for sale on Huffy.com, the Electric Green Machine
combines nostalgia with 36 volts of battery power, making each
moment an unforgettable adventure. For riders sitting in the
redesigned cockpit, each heart-pounding turn, spin and drift offers
adrenaline-pumping thrills and electrifying fun.
Every detail of the Electric Green Machine is designed to
deliver electrifying thrills and sheer joy. Key features
include:
- 36-Volt Removable Battery: The stylish, removable
lithium-ion battery features bright LED lights that add flair and
show the charge level, ensuring non-stop excitement
- Front Wheel Hub Motor: Powered by the 36-Volt battery,
the powerful 250-watt front hub motor propels the rider to
exhilarating speeds of up to 15 mph - amplifying every drift and
making each turn more thrilling than the last
- New 3-Position Adjustable Seat: With three adjustable
positions, the newly reconfigured Green Machine cockpit supports a
wider range of rider heights and dials in the fit for a perfect
ride, all with the push of a button. The enhanced seat bolsters
hold the rider in place while drifting, spinning, and sliding
- Innovative 2-Piece Wheel Design: Similar to the 20-inch
Green Machine, this model is equipped with the new 2-piece
injection-molded rear wheel design for faster, better drifting and
longer lasting fun. Replacements are easier than ever too - just
remove and replace the outer slick whenever a tune-up is
needed
To further celebrate and show off the true power of the electric
drift trike, Huffy is showcasing the Electric Green Machine at the
iconic Danger Wheel adult downhill Big Wheel race in Cincinnati
later this month. Now in its ninth year, the community-organized
event will once again take over the streets of the Pendleton
neighborhood on Saturday, July 27.
For adventure seekers who are not yet old enough for, or do not
yet reach the size requirements of, the Electric Green Machine,
Huffy offers two pedal-powered drifters for maximum fun:
- The Huffy Green Machine 20-inch Drift Trike: The
original Green Machine was redesigned and reimagined for optimal
thrills in 2023! With a new seat design, LED lights,
injection-molded rear wheels and more, the fun doesn’t stop! The
20-inch Green Machine offers an exhilarating ride for riders ages
8+, with a max weight of 180 lbs. and a recommended height of at
least 55".
- The Huffy Green Machine 16-inch Drift Trike: For the
junior thrill seeker who is ready for some drifting action, the
16-inch Green Machine makes it possible for everyone to get in on
the fun. Great for riders 5-8 years old with a maximum weight of 80
lbs., the 16” Huffy Green Machine boasts premium specs, a sleek
design, and all the thrilling potential of the larger Green Machine
model.
