The coolest thing on the internet right now might be this monster truck trike that has recently been driven for the very first time.
YouTuber and car-building team Grind Hard Plumbing Co has been working on the trike for some time, and they have an excellent pedigree.
As the channel description states, they have already built the world’s fastest mini jet boat, an off-road Tesla, and the 60mph Barbie car.
This very wild and crazy trike is just the next in a long line of creations. It’s certainly not something you are going to see every day.

The monster truck trike is a truly insane build
There is no denying how crazy the build of the trike really is.
It is just as impressive as the six-wheel truck monster truck we covered a couple of years ago!
As the video shows, you sit within the front wheel to drive the monster truck, with the pedals on either side of the wheel.
In the video, the finishing touches are applied to the truck, preparing it for its first drive.
Some of the metalwork fabrication is very impressive, with the pedals custom-made for the truck.
A few other items have been custom-made, too, such as the engine starter button.
It is also a manual, with a stick shift located on the right-hand side of the driver’s seat.
The big question for the build, around 25 minutes into the vide,o is how does the trike drive?
The truck works brilliantly on its first drive
Taking it out for its first drive, the Grind Hard team was blown away by how well it worked.
There were few issues, and the video showed the trike heading out for some off-roading.
The noise of the trike was equally remarkable, and we could clearly hear the turbo that the monster truck has.
As the trike drove around, we could hear how happy the team was in the background.
Sitting within the front wheel is certainly a strange-looking position.
Asked how it feels after the first drive, the driver said ‘amazing,’ and that it sounds even better.
A later addition is set to be mirrors so the driver can see what the rear wheels are doing on the move.
But after one test drive, it looks like this monster truck trike, like the Lamborghini Urus monster truck, is a winner.
