Abstract: We give a new criterion for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environments which are low disorder perturbations of the simple symmetric random walk on $mathbb{Z}^d$, for $dgeq2$. This extends the results established by Sznitman in 2003 and, in particular, allow us to give new examples of ballistic RWREs in dimension $d=3$ which do not satisfy Kalikow's condition. Essentially, this new criterion states that ballisticity occurs whenever the average local drift of the walk is not too small when compared to the standard deviation of the environment. Its proof relies on applying coarse-graining methods together with a variation of the Azuma-Hoeffding concentration inequality in order to verify the fulfillment of a ballisticity condition by Berger, Drewitz and Ram'irez.
