I want to know what he does if he crashes the kite while moving and slacks the lines. He must be able to pull his feet out easily and either stand up with the base on his but or just foot push himself backwards and relounch and then work back to his front wheel and put it back on.
I don't know but it seems a bit difficult to me. But some of you have seen me buggy and I find the regular way difficult now and then!!:lol:

ok definatly cool and ok i see the foot peg now. anyone know how much a setup like this would cost to have built my skills with a welder are nonexistant and the seat is tricky too. although sideways pull may be a trick with the fact that i ride a wide axel buggy and cant keep a peter lynn from flipping on me.

its all between the hips and the front is really just a balance point for your legs. It's really a cool idea and I wouldn't mind trying it out. Not sure I'd want 50 mph with it, but it would be a blast on the beach I bet.

This certainly challenges your conventional wisdom about kite buggying.

To think I thought kite bikes were weird the first time I saw a photo of one.



I fly: Charger II 6.5m * Charger II 8m * Charger II 10m * Scorpion 10 (for sale) * Phantom II 12m * F-Arc 1200 * Venom 13m

I ride: Peter Lynn XR+ on Midis * Flexifoil Midi/Barrow * Peter Lynn Comp on Barrows * Peter Lynn XR+ (needs a fork)

I build: Custom bars for buggy pilots

anybody have contact info for this guy or maybe bluprints. i want to build a trail/tandem setup and with this design i could easily do it. also it would be great to know where he got the seat made at. any information would be helpful i really want a cheap light tandem and this fits the bill perfectly.

I disagree... It's VERY natural. An organic downtube (your legs). What's more natural than that?
