We set out to build the classic Big Wheel, but in a form we could enjoy as adults!
Products we used:
Powder Coating Systems: eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-guns?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=annotation&utm_campaign=2026-04-29&utm_content=trike+hotcoat+powder
Tubing Benders: eastwood.com/high-capacity-tubing-benders?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=annotation&utm_campaign=2026-04-29&utm_content=trike+tubing+bender

What happens when you take a childhood Big Wheel and rebuild it for adults? We built this custom drift trike completely from scratch using bent tubing, custom fabrication, and plenty of welding. Then we finished it off with fresh powder coat, dropped in a 125cc engine, and turned it into the ultimate grown-up version of a classic toy.
From raw metal to first rip, this project has everything—tube bending, chassis fabrication, engine mounting, paint, assembly, and of course drifting it when it was done.
If you grew up on Big Wheels, this is the version you always wanted.
