$950.00 FRAME & SEAT.....With much thought I am finally listing my Ivanpah Stainless . This is the VERY first one #0... The one the jig was made from. It has been featured on the Discovery channel, and was the very first buggy ride of the new Flexifoil owner.
Reworking my buggy quiver...
Frame, seat, skirt $950 All dirty..and a little faded,

Seems like shipping would be around $100?..U.S.
Wheels / back seat..not sold with bug. Scroll down for more pictures

"post reply" button give you access to the full reply page, with buttons to link pics and links. If you just use the quick reply window on the page it doesn't give you those options.

I Love the seat. Looks like the Munsters Mobile.

Or the Clampitt Truck with granny on the back.

rocfighter - 27-5-2012 at 06:00 AM

I believe the passenger may be a "little" chicken!!

bobalooie57 - 27-5-2012 at 07:36 AM

roc, maybe a "big" chicken!

@Kite Killer, I assume (I know, I know) that's you in the pilot seat, in full armor... Is that any indication of how the "tandem" pilots with a passenger? I have seen a few fantastic OBE's due to the power the pilot must hold down to get the buggy moving. Also, how does the higher CG with the passenger, affect handling in a sharp turn or slide? Is there any video with this in action? Looks like fun, if safe? (Wouldn't want to flop some unsuspecting general public type that wanted a ride)

kite killer - 27-5-2012 at 07:51 AM

Very safe & stable!...the only rig my girlfriend (not chicken) will ride on. Sorry no video that I know of. I ALWAYS!!! wear full gear or I feel naked. Seems like the highest possibility of hurting myself is when I get out of the bug to land the kite. BTW there is an awesome quick release seatbelt I use every time on all my bugs. On the beach I would rather get a foot of unwanted air , then an ejection(ouch) However the side-rails will keep you in place on their own very well. As far as weight distribution..great for slides, backwards!..Depending on rider size, anything past 45mph will require weights on the forks to compensate. Buggy full tested with 260 lb rider! Buggy is balanced well, solo I have done 360's easily!

bobalooie57 - 27-5-2012 at 08:02 AM

:thumbup: Thanks for that, I am just dreaming right now, but looking for stuff to sell(KITES??? NEVER!!!) to come up with the money... Unfortunately my first born is in his thirties and might object. :spin:

thrash - 27-5-2012 at 10:18 AM
