On this video, we are presenting you our new construction numbered 0143, which is a unique bike. Despite its uniqueness, this bike reacts like a normal bike and by pressing a button, it turns into drift mode.

This bike has three wheels from a normal bike and two wheels from a go-kart and this is the reason why we came up with its name.Firstly, we started making it by taking a normal bike removing its back part. At the part, which was removed, we made a longer frame and we added scissors that can be easily moved up and down.

On these scissors, we put two wheels in a row taken from a go-kart. The front wheel touches the ground and moves the bike through the chain while pedaling and the other one does not touch the ground. On the second wheel, we put a plastic tube to enable the other wheel to slip on the ground.

Moreover, on the scissors we placed an air cylinder, which opens and forces the wheel that is lined with the plastic tube to touch the ground while preventing the other wheel, which was previously touching the ground, not to touch it. To make this system work, we placed an air compressor 12v and an air container.
Finally, we placed an air bulb on the steering wheel that makes the mechanism go up and down when it is activated. Overall, we are very satisfied with the function of the mechanism and generally with the bike as well as its making and driving experience were very fun.
