A drift cart is a powered vehicle which generally has drift wheels on the back which have less grip than normal tyres. This allows the back wheels to drift sideways. There are lots of examples of these sorts of vehicles on YouTube, but driving while drifting under control takes skill.
But what about if we were to make a drift cart where the amount of drift can be precisely controlled.
I previously built a bicycle with an omni-wheel on the front, facing sideways.
This allowed the bike to balance sideways like a Segway or Hoverboard, but still ride like a normal bike.
An omni-wheel has lots of small wheels around the circumference of a big wheel, so it can be driven in one direction and slide passively in the other.

XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
