How do you haul your buggy?

bigkid - 4-11-2009 at 03:15 PM

Lots of questions about, Will a buggy fit in a ?
Just how do you get the buggy to where you are going? Pics would help.



A nice day at the sod farm.

I drive a yukon xl and my Peter Flexi bigfoot just rolls right in after removing the rear wheels. I have bucket seats in the middle row.

i have a small car and my flexi bug fits right in after disassembly of course.........

I've got a folding buggy. Goes into the back of my mid-size car nicely.

bigkid - 4-11-2009 at 04:23 PM

WELDNGOD, I like the yellow. I made a bracket to fit around the goose-neck above the seat that has a dog bone lock to the rack, don't even need straps to hold it on. The canopy has all the other stuff (about 30 kites) and 1 rad buggy and 1 kite trike, and 4 ATBS. I need a trailer.

WELDNGOD - 4-11-2009 at 04:51 PM

you need a trailer:yes:

Houston AirHead - 4-11-2009 at 05:03 PM

i saw a buggy on this forum that folded up like a lawnchair

WELDNGOD - 4-11-2009 at 05:07 PM

was the guy still in it? That would be Romanos kite trike.:roll:

I made this receiver hitch extension that works well on the Mazda, man I'm hard on this car.

Nice rack WELDNGOD, glad to see you got it finished.

bobalooie57 - 4-11-2009 at 07:27 PM

The flexi fits in my mini cooper with the back wheels off, and the front forks as well (with back seats down of course).

ragden - 5-11-2009 at 06:18 AM

My PL fits in the trunk of my honda accord, after I take off the back axle. I remove the gooseneck from the side-rails as well just to pack it a little tighter.

Krohn1999 - 5-11-2009 at 10:38 AM

Here's mine. If you look closely you can see all 4 buggys.

Had a custom hitch made to support the rear axle and use my spare tire mounted bike rack to secure it. Can still fit a bike on there.

Errr...ummm.... I think it's way past time for you to hit up Mazda for a sponsorship. Those pics are ad-worthy. :smilegrin:

I think you may be on to something! I'll give you full credit if I can pull it off... AND I have some more room for stickers!

:lol: I could do this.



Rian, that thing is PIMP! I was looking into the same set-up but elected to keep more weight shifted forward.

popeyethewelder - 5-11-2009 at 12:50 PM

I just made a new rack

I'd actually like to set mine up to swing away, like my tailgate. I know it can be done, but would involve a new bumper and cost lots $$$. They make heavy duty swing away tire carriers for Jeeps, for supporting larger rims and tires. They swing away separate from the tailgate, instead of being attached to the tailgate like they are in stock form. It's set up now that I can lay the buggy down on the front tire with it still being in the hitch, then I can open the tailgate without having to completely unmount the buggy.

Yeah, given how low the back of that car already looks Todd, probably a good idea.

centex_buggier - 5-11-2009 at 09:28 PM

Popeye, I'd say you have a car rack for your buggy.
:eekdrull:

The kitemobile last year. It now sports a Bigfoot on a newer version of the trailer-top rack.

I carry my buggy much like the others have posted above. Mine does swing away so i can open the tailgate of my little blaze with the buggy still on the rack.

Thats a tidy set up...I like it

bigkid - 10-11-2009 at 03:37 PM

Quite a lot of great ideas for hauling the buggy, and or buggy's.
Angus, tell me that is NOT a cup holder on that buggy.

WELDNGOD - 10-11-2009 at 03:40 PM

It's a cupholder. Instructions to make your own are on the CWS website! I think that's why he embraced depower so fully. It gives him a free hand. :singing:

bigkid - 10-11-2009 at 04:29 PM

That's toooooo funny. I will have to rethink my role bar with stereo and speakers.

jellis - 11-11-2009 at 10:08 AM

1996 PL COMP with yellow cassette player, black speakers, water, and a great spray skirt.

Beer holder. OK for water bottles too.

Features DBR (Dynamic Beverage Retention) technology in the form of shock cord to keep the bottle in when hitting a bump.

The holder is fashioned from the bottom of a shampoo bottle that is stiff enough for the job but soft enough to deform and not take out the family jewels in a wreck.

WIllardTheGrey - 11-11-2009 at 09:33 PM

It fits in my truck perfect.


yep I spent more on my buggy than my pickup:smilegrin:

It's time for Todd to update this thread. He has a way better way to haul 'em now.
