Huffy Green Machine Mini 10in

Kids can take to the streets with the unique drift and spin action of the Huffy Green Machine! 180-degree turns and skids make the Green Machine a true legend of tricycles and go karts. Kids can use the control levers to spin, drift and have fun. The sport bucket seat provides excellent lateral support. Use of the pedal brakes means that the Green Machine can be safely brought to a stop. The 10in front wheel and two rear wheels made of reinforced plastic, combined in a rugged metal construction make this drifter extra safe. Furthermore, this showstopping go kart is simple to build for parents, and easy to drive for kids, too.
