Hi,
i'm a new member and have been dabbling in power kiting for a while. I started off with a Flexifoil proteam 8 and have now taken the plunge and bought myself an Ozone Samurai 4m...
Once i get to grips with the new kite i was thinking of getting a buggy. Seeing that i have a ridiculously small boot (car) i thought the Peter Lynn foldable buggy might be a good idea. What is the concensus about the foldable one?? Is it strong enough? Any problems with it? Or should i get myself a new car lol. Any advice much appreciated, see you

I think the Buggie tricks Database should answer you question, Have to admit I have made own buggie and its had a dam good thrashing and still going well. may not look all shiny and cromed but what the hey,

hey delboy
i have a folder. mind you its one of five buggys i own. i only use a few times a year when i travel to events by plane. its an ok buggy. i wouldn`t take it past 35mph. i do bend the axle bolts from time to time. i weigh 175lbs and never bent anything on the buggy. just axle bolts.
if you weigh more than 200lbs i would say get a stronger buggy. my thinking when i got it was. i`m only going to use it when i travel so i`ll have a buggy to use. besides at buggy events i would use,borrow,steal a better buggy for a few speed runs. the good thing about it is i can the whole buggy plus 6 kites in one piece of luggage.

I am designing and making a buggy and want to make it so it can shrink for storage and traveling. The Peter lynn foling buggy looks like a good idea. Are there any other buggys out there like the peter lynn that are designed to shrink. Any feed back would be warmly accepted.
Thanks

None that I know of. Folding buggys are convenient for transporting, but not very agile and unstable at high speed. Make sure your connection points are strong - don't want to come apart while cruising.
