HOW TO OPERATE THE CRAZY CART
Drift Bar for Adjustable Rear Casters
The rear wheels on the Crazy Cart are mounted on casters, like RipStik wheels. By altering the angle of the support for
these wheels, the Crazy Cart can either "track" in the same direction as the drive wheel 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 (down or default) and Crazy Cart mode for drifting (when the Drift Bar is pulled
up). When the Drift Bar is in the down position, the Crazy Cart will track in-line with the front wheel like a traditional
vehicle. As the Drift Bar is raised, it changes the angle of the rear 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 can thus actually turn around itself 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 will
spin in.
Normal Mode
(Default)
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.
Spinning, Drifting and Stopping the Crazy Cart
The best use of the Crazy Cart 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 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, 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, 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'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 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 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'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 to a stop by turning 90° to the left or right-- note how much more tightly
the Crazy Cart turns with the Drift Bar raised.
4. Practice staying "tucked in" in tight turns or spins.
WARNING: Recognize that these specialized riding features affect how the Crazy Cart 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 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.

Riding Tip: With the steering
wheel at 90°, the Crazy Cart will
move in a circle using the rear
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.
