Just got it today and threw it together. Looks good and feels comfortable. Reviews to follow soon. Here is some pics to keep you entertained.

That seat looks quite a bit more comfy. I hope to get a ride in it next time we get together. What does that buggy retail for?

my sisters boyfriend got a viper 2.6 from you last month and he's ripe for a buggy--this might get it done for him, depending on price--

Somewhere between $600 - $650. About $100 more than a PL. I will say the seat on the Flexi is more comfortable for us larger folks than the PL. You small people like my little CanAsian buddy fit fine in either of them

not bad, i'll wait to try one out here and let you know. i've gained weight since LV. im waiting for the new XXtreme buggy as my new ride.

maybe if you remove da skirt you could fit more buggies. :P

Did you break 100lbs yet?

Come on down and give it a ride. It would be good to see you again. You can pass as 2 years old or under so you get a plane ride for free

You gained weight? Not enouph red bull for you in LV? Or maybe to much food in the Dutch camp!!

Ahh yes, the Rip and Dino show....THAT'S entertainment :)

What is that peg/ shaft behind the axle mount point for? I'm led to believe it's to prevent the forks from rotating completely 360 degrees. Do all Flexi buggies have it? Also looks like there are plenty of downtube length options. Is it any longer than the original Flexi bug?

P.S. That red fork drive me nuts. If I got my hands on one the first thing I would do is paint it black to match the rest.

yes it stops it from rotating 360 ... so the freestyle guys will probably want to cut it off.

i still lke the SS version more.

*** off topic ***

lots of REDBULL in everyone's vehicle. thx to CSA_D it was flowing like water. too much BuFFeT with De Dutch.

also the 400 Nip (chicken) Nuggets and 1 Diet Coke didnt help too.

Maria and Stephan had this idea to go order this.

whoop whoop kiteloop!!!

Is that going to make it to the sod farm tomorrow? and a PL so we can do side by sides? ulterior motives, I don't have to try and fix my bent axle tube and worry about my bearings... LOL...

Kind of shocked at the price, seems they really cheaped out on quality IE: no stainless and same price as we paid for our stainless bugs. Still love mine even if its on it's fourth axle...lol. Had to send the PL carbon back but really want one, super axle and helps take a little of the jolt out when jumping.

I hear ya on the price. The sad part is the dealers are making basically no money on it. The good news is it is a nice buggy. Screwy had a good time on it.

hate to hijack but anyone know where to get that PL carbon axle for the Flexi bugs?
