Green Machines

While some kid-friendly ride-ons are simply built for getting from A to B, the range of Green Machine trikes are built for something more: spins, drifts, safe thrills, and the kind of frenetic fun kids talk about with mates and family for days afterwards. 

With strong frames and a design that’s been winning over families for more than two decades, the Green Machine selection, launched in 2002 by famed American brand Huffy, has become a name parents trust and children can’t get enough of.

Plum Play is proud to be a local retailer of Huffy’s famed Green Machine line-up, with sales for the range beginning 20 October 2025 (and preorders now available). You can learn more about the range and what it offers kids on this page.

What Is a Green Machine Trike and Why Do Kids Love It?

A Green Machine trike takes the familiar shape of a three-wheeler and gives it a twist. Wide rear wheels and a unique steering system mean children aren’t just pedalling from point-to-point, but they can also easily slide into corners, spin in circles, and feel like they’re in charge of their own little vehicle.

The appeal is obvious to kids. It feels fast without being overwhelming, it looks different from the trikes their friends might have, and it offers a sense of independence that’s hard to match. For many, it’s their first taste of “driving” something that really responds to what they do, making for a great set of wheels.

There’s a reason the Green Machine line has been going strong for more than 20 years - it provides young and older kids with the type of thrilling experience they crave while maintaining exceptional safety standards.

How to Choose the Right Green Machine Trike for Your Child

Finding the right Green Machine comes down to your child: their age, their size, and the way they like to play. That’s why the range includes several options, with each built with the same drifting capabilities but tailored for different stages of a child’s development.

The Green Machine 16” Drift Trike is where most families start. It’s compact, easy to handle, and gives younger riders the chance to try out those signature spins without feeling out of control. For kids who are still finding their feet, it’s the perfect introduction to the thrills that Green Machine offers. Generally, this trike is recommended for kids who are 5 years of age or older.

As children grow taller and more confident, many will then be ready for the 20” Drift Trike. The bigger frame and wheels make everything feel faster and more daring. It’s the version older kids jump on when they want sharper turns and a ride that really feels like a step up. This trike is a good fit for kids who are 8 years or older.

Finally, there’s the 20” Slider Drift Trike. This one is built for the kids who are ready to master the art of sliding sideways and showing off their moves. It’s bold, challenging, and perfect for those who prefer a little extra edge to their outdoor play. 

Mastering the Slider Drift Trike makes for an exhilarating experience and will most definitely fill your kids with an immense sense of pride and accomplishment. Along with being designed for the kids who’ve mastered previous Green Machine Drift Trikes, this trike is recommended for kids 9 years and older.

While there are age guidelines, there’s no strict rule on when to move from one model to the next if your child feels more comfortable sticking with a model they find more accessible. Some children like to take their time, sticking with the smaller trike until they’re fully comfortable. Others can’t wait to jump up a size. 

So, it’s best to consider your child’s personality as much as their age. Are they cautious or fearless? Steady or adventurous? Whichever trike you land on, the Green Machine will give them the same thing: a safe, exciting way to ride, spin, and excel (or, should we say, accelerate?) outdoors.
