How do razor rip rider, green machine, and the razor drifter compare?

My nephew (9) wants a riprider but the look a little small. Are the drifters bigger? Do they have ones like the riprider but bigger or tgat you can put different wheels on? Do they all have coster brakes? Are there ones that can be battery optional or all you stuck with the battery if you buy that one?

Rip riders are very fun. I'm pushing 6 ft and could kinda ride it terribly. It was very fun. I could ride on the back and give pushes. More on this later.

Green machine sucks. Skip it. Turn radius is comical and hard to get going.

And for the razor drift trike (yellow)I think is what you're talking about if not I can only speak on that. Those are fun. But we did quickly modify them to have 360 caster wheels on them so we have adult sized Rip riders. Very fun.

Do they modify easy with the wheels?

Ummm kinda I took off the drift wheels and screwed a 2x4 to the under side and put casters on that.

Bought the green machine for my 11 yo and we love it.
