I was snooping around on ebay and came across an auction for one of these. They APPEAR to look like they are solidly made. Anyone ever used or see one; are they ok or a piece of junk? They do have a 3 year warranty if that counts for anything.

Anyone care to share their opinion?

thanks,
Jack

got a link? haven't heard of it before but my guess is its jonsey or his ilk

edit: found it. yep its a Jonsey clone !!!!runaway!!!!

run away FAST and dont look back.......

Jonesy clone? Not familiar with that, is it a scam or just a POS??

bigtime scam artist

hear is a old post on him

Yikes, I thought something seemed a bit fishy, and was curious why no one had bid on it yet. Plus the name seemed REALLY cheesy.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced used buggy, I can afford a new one and i want to give buggying a try before the snow hits. We have lots of big smooth fields around here (but not a sandy beach for miles) and i'd love to give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up, you guys rock!!
Jack

Thank YOU for posting! This result will now show up for anyone who googles "glidemaster GTX 350", and we can warn away any other buyers!

This seller is bad news! (Such bad news I made him my avatar!)

Hey, in advanced I ask that you would please pardon my grammar, lol. So i have bought one of these glidemastor gtx 350s awhile back as a starter buggy aside from the crappy hardware that was used (soft metal bolts) it seems to be a decent buggy. as far as safety goes is there anything I need to be concerned about? Almost forgot to mention the seat is garbage. It's a nylon material but after maybe using it 20 times it's starting to fall apart.

jonesband has several alias

***dude doesn't response to my demands to take down all the peter lynn product images.***

eye for an eye. fighting fire with fire.

Not sure if he's selling a copy of the older kitetrike or he's a dealer for them but the Glidemastor is the older kitetrike. The new kitetrike is made of aluminum.

you might be able to get more info from Cloud 9 toys. http://www.kitetrike.com

I got a customer that has one. His seat is all torn too. I replaced it with an older version of my Black Widow seat.

Donny's a good guy, no problem. Thanks.

along this note about jonesband, working on a few things myself and posting corrections about some of his stuff.
discovered a way to speak with out saying anything. got another company, person, or what ever they are, to stop selling a lie and not deceiving the public any more. :singing:

I think these were called Rockville buggies a few years ago. How do I know?....I happen to own...."gulp", not only one, but two! I do have a few things to say:
When I was brand new to kiting a few years ago I didn't have anyone to hold my hand or even recommend products....which is to say I didn't search out anyone or join a forum like this. Sidenote: The wealth of knowledge on this sight is amazing...thank you all. And, the fact that you are a friendly bunch is a credit to the human race. Back to the story...
So, I figured I would just outfit myself and learn this wonderful sport. E-bay got ahold of me, my newfound interest and my wallet. This was about 5 years ago, and there were good deals to be had. Long story short, I got my first Flexifoil for $125(Bullet 5.5, Brand New), this Rockvillle buggy for $200, another kite, a second Rockville and eventually 2 more Flexi kites. About the Buggy: The seat is Crap! My butt broke through in just a few rides. My local shoe repair guy has seen it in his shop several times. I have added extra straps as well. To VAN : I would like to talk about a modified Black Widow seat. That looks awesome! Then there is the issue with the suicide forks. There is no "keeper" for the front wheel. So, I fashioned a couple out of washers. There are a few plusses. Its way light. Throw it on your shoulder kinda light. It seems sturdy, meaning I have a couple hundred hours in this thing and I haven't been easy on it. Its still solid. For the price I paid I am OK with it, but the fact is I have never driven any other bug. I am way interested to see what everyone is flying and riding when I show up at NABX. Its gonna be a blast, and I will sure learn a lot. For the record: I am Not OK with people claiming they build or produce something that is not what they claim it is. A person's word really means a lot to me.
I'm sure one day I will want a "real" buggy. In the mean time, I'll be the bald guy with the perma grin on his face, just glad to be flying anything, enjoying the wind and the people I meet. Looking forward to heading to Buggytown!

yes thats is the most direct way to reach the a$$hole, through that website

i have phoned him several times but he doesn't respond
