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.
