Huffy Goes Full Throttle With New Electric Green Machine
Since the 2023 launch of the Huffy 20” Green Machine, adults have been asking for a ride that offers the same kind of adventure, fun, and thrill of “Drifting the Ride” that kids get on their Green Machines. Huffy answered the call with the launch of the new Electric Green Machine, a powerhouse drift-trike packed with a 250-watt motor that allows riders ages 14 and up to reach speeds up to 15 mph.
“The Electric Green Machine is a first-of-its-kind product and an exciting continuation of Huffy’s legacy of innovation and fun, as well as a welcome addition to the Green Machine family,” said Bruno Maier, President and COO of United Wheels. “For nearly 50 years, kids have experienced the exhilarating thrill of turning and drifting, and now parents who enjoyed the Green Machine in their youth can share that same thrill with their children, creating lifelong memories and a special bond that spans generations.”
Available for sale on Huffy.com, the Electric Green Machine combines nostalgia with 36 volts of battery power, making each moment an unforgettable adventure. For riders sitting in the redesigned cockpit, each heart-pounding turn, spin, and drift offers adrenaline-pumping thrills and electrifying fun.
Every detail of the Electric Green Machine is designed to deliver electrifying thrills and sheer joy. Key features include:
- 36-Volt Removable Battery: The stylish, removable lithium-ion battery features bright LED lights that add flair and show the charge level, ensuring non-stop excitement
- Front Wheel Hub Motor: Powered by the 36-Volt battery, the powerful 250-watt front hub motor propels the rider to exhilarating speeds of up to 15 mph - amplifying every drift and making each turn more thrilling than the last
- New 3-Position Adjustable Seat: With three adjustable positions, the newly reconfigured Green Machine cockpit supports a wider range of rider heights and dials in the fit for a perfect ride, all with the push of a button. The enhanced seat bolsters hold the rider in place while drifting, spinning, and sliding
- Innovative 2-Piece Wheel Design: Similar to the 20-inch Green Machine, this model is equipped with the new 2-piece injection-molded rear wheel design for faster, better drifting and longer lasting fun. Replacements are easier than ever too - just remove and replace the outer slick whenever a tune-up is needed
