Been downhilling the Super Truck at the golf course the last couple weeks, tonns of fun, be sure to fab up a tow rope to drag it back up the hill, a
simple lenght of rope, loop on each end, then a third loop on the middle, usually a total of 10ft long or so.
Larks head each end loop to one foot peg and grab the middle loop as a handle, the buggy will follow you for hours. It's a must if you're covering any
ground under kite power as well, it sucks when you're way out and the wind dies, makes it way easier for the walk of shame. I always have a tow rope
tied to the rear end of the buggy just in case
PS, 3mph is kitable with the right sail.:frog:

Yeah get an old paraglider (like people sell them for ground handling practice) they sell for like US$500. A 30 square meter kite would pull "enough"
LOL! like rip you off the ground. Oh and before i had my kite i used my buggy as a go cart all the time. (its really fun on a bumpy grass hill)

Downhill runs can be fun! Hope you have an extra wide axle though. Buggies can get going really fast, and 3 wheeled carts are REALLY tippy with no
kite to hold on to. Helmet, pads, and gloves a must.
