Riding Tip: With the steering
wheel at 90°, the Crazy Cart XL will
move in a circle using the inside
caster as the “pivot point” if the
Drift Bar is down -- but will rotate
around its center if the Drift Bar is
fully raised.
Riding Tip: The front stabilizing
posts help to keep your Crazy Cart
XL from tipping when you are first
stepping into the cart and when you
turn too hard.
Drift Bar for Adjustable Casters
The wheels on the Crazy Cart XL are mounted on casters, like RipStik wheels. By altering the angle of the support for
these wheels, the Crazy Cart XL can either “track” in the same direction as the drive tire is going or allow the rear
end to “drift” in response to turning or acceleration forces. The Drift Bar allows control between the two driving
modes: normal mode for straight tracking (when the Drift Bar is down) the Crazy Cart XL mode for drifting (when
the Drift Bar is pulled up). When the Drift Bar is in the down position, the Crazy Cart XL will track in-line with the
front tire like a traditional vehicle. As the Drift Bar is raised, it changes the angle of the casters and allows the rear
of the cart to drift. The more the Drift Bar is raised, the easier the cart drifts. When the Drift Bar is all the way up,
the casters are in “Crazy Cart mode.” The Crazy Cart XL can thus actually turn itself around in circles, and the size of
the circle the cart will spin in depends on how much, if any, the Drift Bar is pulled up. The higher the Drift Bar is, the
tighter the circle the cart can spin in.
In Crazy Cart mode, the frame is able to rotate any direction, regardless of the direction of travel. In the Crazy
Cart mode it is possible to drive in a straight line with the frame oriented any direction, including backwards and
sideways. The Drift Bar must be raised all the way up to travel backward in the Crazy Cart XL.
Spinning, Drifting and Stopping the Crazy Cart XL
The best use of the Crazy Cart XL involves careful coordination of the steering, the Drift Bar, and the accelerator. The
majority of spins and drifts that can be done in the Crazy Cart XL are accomplished by careful accelerator control.
Learning when to add or reduce power is the key to smoothly connecting tricks. Smooth riding also increases the
run time between charges. When first getting oriented with the Crazy Cart XL, it is highly recommended that riders
carefully apply the accelerator and take time to get familiar with the variable effects of the Drift Bar and steering at
low speeds.
There is no separate brake on the Crazy Cart XL, but with practice it is easy to stop. Of course, removing your foot
from the accelerator will slow the cart down as a result of friction in the drive train. To stop the Crazy Cart XL’s
forward motion immediately, take your foot off of the accelerator and turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to either
side. Removing your foot from the accelerator and turning the steering wheel will result in the Crazy Cart XL spinning
or drifting in a circle and slowing to a stop. By turning the steering wheel 90° and taking your foot off the pedal,
the rider can immediately arrest forward motion and instead turn away. In this way, the Crazy Cart XL can avoid
collisions and evade things otherwise in its path.
For your safety, take the time to get familiar and comfortable with various combinations of accelerator, steering,
and Drift Bar applications to learn how to slow down, and how using the Drift Bar affects stopping at slow speeds.
Practice these skills for maximum rider safety.
These basic steering exercises may help to familiarize riders with their Crazy Cart XL’s capabilities:
1. First steer in a circle with the Drift Bar down.
2. Do the same circles, but raise the Drift Bar to different heights, and note how the chassis reacts to drift
differently based on lifts and steering.
3. Practice bringing the Crazy Cart XL to a stop by turning 90° to the left or right-- note how much more tightly the
Crazy Cart XL turns with the Drift Bar raised.
4. Practice staying “tucked in” during tight turns or spins.
WARNING: Recognize that these specialized riding features affect how the Crazy Cart XL functions and
require extra caution and attention to safe riding conditions and practices. Read and review the Safety Warnings
on pages 1 and 2, and be extra careful with the Crazy Cart XL to avoid traffic, obstacles and downhill environments.
This is not a “bumper car” and is not designed to engage in collisions, jumping activities or for use on surfaces other
than hardened, smooth, flat and dry areas.
