LA Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal’s love for cars and customized vehicles is well-documented. Considering his 7ft 1in frame, O’Neal has a range of customized vehicles in his garage capable of transporting him from one place to another. Recently on Instagram, O’Neal showed off one of these vehicles in a short clip, The SlingShaq, a custom three-wheel bike created by West Coast Customs, especially for Shaq. The vehicle was identified a tri-cycle worth approximately $25,000.

The post led to a response from his 26-year-old son Myles O’Neal. Myles claimed that O’Neal was taking “side quests” to another level.
Shaquille O’Neal shares a hilarious video showing off custom-made “The SlingShaq”
The SlingShaq looks like a racing car but is in truth a three-wheeled bike created especially for O’Neal and his huge physical structure. Wearing tinted glasses and a safety helmet, O’Neal’s clip included a hip background score aimed to show off the bike.
West Coast Customs created the bike, especially for Shaq, and it allows his huge frame to be comfortably perched. Apart from 20 and 22-inch alloy wheels, the bike sports a blaring music system and a burgundy custom paint job.
According to MensXP, the bike cost Shaq over $25k and comes with customized Superman insignia. The vehicle certainly has a host of features that justify the high cost. O’Neal obviously seemed to be enjoying his time and had taken the tri-cycle around during the middle of the day.
His son Myles, a TV personality and successful DJ, suggested via his comment that Shaq had completed life and was now focused on “side-quests.” Having amassed a fortune of over $400 million, Shaquille O’Neal surely lives a luxurious life and owns multiple expensive vehicles.
The SlingShaq is not the only quaint vehicle in Shaq’s garage
O’Neal’s size and unique taste mean that he owns a range of custom luxury vehicles that he regularly shows off on social media. This includes a Cadillac Eldorado Convertible that Al Pacino drove in Scarface.
Shaq also drives a Ferrari 355 F1 Spider (1998) which also had to be customized in order to make enough room for him. Shaq owns a huge collection of luxury vehicles including an iconic 2002 Customised Cadillac Escalade.
O’Neal’s extravagant spending has been made possible after years of making the right financial decisions. The LA Lakers legend has a huge portfolio of investments and is involved in multiple charitable initiatives as well. He has certainly earned the right to splurge big money on himself and those around him.
