What is the Tricycle Crash AI: Ride a Tiny Tricycle Down a Hill Into a Tree?
The tricycle crash is the funniest one-photo AI trend of November 2026: a grown-up squeezed onto a tiny kids' tricycle races down a steep rocky hill, flies off a bump and crashes straight into a tree. Grandmas in floral tops, dads in hoodies and one man in a yellow rain suit have all taken the ride. Upload one photo of yourself and this template puts you on the tricycle.
The first clips went up on TikTok on 4 November as a CapCut AI template, captioned in Spanish "efecto divertido: triciclo mini choca contra árbol en pendiente" (funny effect: a mini tricycle crashes into a tree on a slope). Most posts string three or four rides together and then show how to make one. On 8 November @llvbjmiga881 posted a set that reached 918,000 views, the top post of the trend so far, after a first set the day before passed 205,000. A 10 November post by @po94275 added 652,000 more. The template also goes by "Tree Hug" and the "tricycle tree video".
The template runs in two steps: an image model puts you on the tiny tricycle at the top of the hill, then a video model plays 8 seconds of the ride, the jump and the crash, with an original comedy beat. Slapstick only: you land in the tree laughing. The trend videos on this page are credited to their creators; the poster image is AI-generated.
What happens in the video
0-3 s: you race down a steep rocky track on a tiny tricycle, knees up, dust flying. 3-5 s: a bump launches you into the air. 5-8 s: you roll into a pine tree, hug the trunk and look back at the camera laughing.
Can I put my pet on the tricycle?
This template is built for people. For pets on wheels, try the cat on an electric dirt bike template.
Which photo to use
One adult, full body or down to the knees, face clear. Use your own photo or one of someone who said yes, never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.
