Spinning, Drifting and Stopping the Crazy Cart Shift
The best use of the Crazy Cart Shift involves careful coordination of the steering and the accelerator. The
majority of spins and drifts that can be done in the Crazy Cart Shift are accomplished by careful accelerator
control and deliberate manipulation of the steering wheel. Learning where to point the arrow on the steering
wheel and when to add or reduce power are the keys to smoothly controlling tricks. Smooth riding also
increases the run time between charges. When first getting oriented with the Crazy Cart Shift, it is highly
recommended that riders carefully apply the accelerator and take time to get familiar with the results of
combining counter-steering and accelerator pedal control to manipulate the Crazy Cart Shift’s spins and
drifts.
There is no separate brake on the Crazy Cart Shift, but with practice it is easy to stop. Of course, removing
your foot from the accelerator pedal will slow the cart down as a result of friction in the drive train. To stop
the Crazy Cart Shift’s forward motion immediately, take your foot off of the accelerator pedal and turn the
steering wheel 90° to either side. Removing your foot from the accelerator pedal and turning the steering
wheel will result in the Crazy Cart Shift spinning or drifting in a circle and slowing to a stop. By turning the
steering wheel 90° and taking your foot off the accelerator pedal, the rider can immediately arrest forward
motion and instead turn away. In this way, the Crazy Cart Shift can avoid collisions and evade objects in its
path.
For your safety, take the time to get familiar and comfortable with various combinations of depressing the
accelerator pedal and turning steering wheel to learn how to slow down and stop while maintaining control
of the cart. Practice these skills for maximum rider safety.
These basic steering exercises may help to familiarize riders with their Crazy Cart Shift’s capabilities:
1. First steer in a circle.
2. Make the same circles, vary how much you depress the accelerator pedal and note how the
Crazy Cart Shift reacts as you increase and decrease speed while turning. You should notice that
accelerating hard while turning results in the Crazy Cart Shift spinning out.
3. Still making the same circles, experiment with keeping the body of the cart from spinning out
by ‘counter-steering’. Counter-steering to stop the Crazy Cart Shift from spinning out is achieved
by pointing the arrow on the steering wheel opposite the direction that the Crazy Cart Shift is
spinning out in. So, for example, if you are turning hard toward the right, the cart may spin out in
a clockwise direction. This spinning out can be countered by turning the steering wheel slightly to
the left and/or reducing pressure on the accelerator pedal. Practice is the best way to master this
skill.
4. Practice bringing the Crazy Cart Shift to a stop by taking your foot off the accelerator pedal and
turning the steering wheel 90º to the left or right.
5. Practice staying “tucked in” during tight turns or spins.
WARNING: Recognize that these specialized riding features affect how the Crazy Cart Shift functions and require extra caution and
attention to safe riding conditions and practices. Read and review the Safety Warnings, and be extra careful with the Crazy Cart Shift 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.
