yeah what I thought, same as my trailer, just never thought you could get light
enough ones, ie my trailer takes about 500kg for a buggy I would want more like 200kgraycapp1 - 6-10-2006 at 10:58 AM

TBH with you suspension on buggies is really a cosmetic thing....looks good but no reall effect, run bigfoots with some air out and you will achieve
the same effect, have the suspension with too low poundage springs the the buggy will roll when powered up, too hard and you notice no difference at
all......like I said looks only IMHO

Hello Popeye,
I wouldn't call it a cosmetic thing
I own a big buggy with overall suspension and bigfoots and a small 'hardseater' running on barrows. I can't do wheelies with the big one because it
is too wide (2m), too long (2.3m) and too heavy (app. 55kg). That's what the smaller one is for. But going 45mph across an uneven beach (washboards,
washouts a.s.o.) costs a lot of nerve in the small buggy.
You'll have experienced the 'buggy dance' (don't know the proper term for that), that is, your wheels dance in a field of washouts. Suspension will
hand you back real control.
Also you'll have been beating fast, immense pull tearing at your harness. Crossing lumps, bumps or debris will send you sidewinding, when you don't
want it. That's what suspension's for.
I agree, it adds a lot of weight to the paracart and makes you want bigger kites. So suspension is costly in more than one way. But the increase in
safety and comfort is substantial, especially when running on a bumpy terrain.
I also agree, very soft (4 - 6psi) bigfoots will dampen any rattles on your footpegs and thus leave the dentistry undisturbed, but they can't really
deal with washouts, tideways, lumps and small dogs on the beach.
Besides, being of my age (45yrs) gives you a real reason for a rocking chair
Finally, equipping your bug with suspension is an excellent excuse for heading to the shop
I'm glad, we talked about it :wink2:

here's a pic of the other

small dogs on the beach....omg what are you running over...lmao
seriously your big bug is a beauty.
The name of it escapes me now, there is a UK guy sponsered with one, it certainly throws the trail and rake argument out of the window with that front
end ehh.
Can you send me some close up of it to my email popeyethewelder@gmail.com I have seen these buggies before but not close up, looks a fine piece of
engineering

Hi Popeye,
my buggy used to be a Windtools Scooter Extreme, that was actually smaller than a P. Lynn folding buggy. Its production has been discontinued around
'97.
I'm still working on the english version, it'll be online in a few days.
To my knowledge mine is the only one that has this monolever steering with suspension... can't remember having made another one
I'll let you know, when the english version is online
