So, to start.... I am not a welder & don't really have the resources to become one... That being said, I have been itching to make a kite bike
for quite some time now. Had great aspirations to build one from scratch (starting with taking welding classes & all). Those have dwindled down
to reality (of being too broke to take that route). Undeterred, I decided to not reinvent the wheel for the sake of bragging rights & moved on to
practicality. I have a flexifoil buggy, a Sesna wheel and some hardware, so I went to work. Made a crude trial run at it while I was waiting for the
shocks to arrive, which provided a working proof-of-concept, and showed me shortcomings to work through. Once they did I arrive, I made my "version
2", and it behaves exactly as I had hoped. Now I just gotta up my skill level to match. Anyways; here's the results...

The awesome part of this is that it only takes 2 bolts to turn it back into the original buggy...

Clever design. I like it.

Nice work.
The buggy/kitebike will work much easier on your beach than the boardz or dirt surfers. videos please.

Start making a rear fender... You'll soon find out why...LOL

Yes, a fender will be the next addition. And I've been wanting to go to a buggy festival for a few years now, maybe this spring I can make it happen,
we'll see. Taking all my toys down the AlCan sound daunting. I did acquire recently a Peter Lynn KiteCat, and as I understand there's only a few of
them left in the world. It'd be fun to drag that down along with the land toys & let it see a bit more of the world...
I'll post videos as soon I've got them (hopefully my riding skills will have caught up by then). I love the purple fenders on yours WELDNGOD, you
guys on here were a big part of my inspiration. I've been trolling the kite forums & PTW's site for a few years now getting ideas. Lots of
great designs to aspire to.
