Pfft ban me =_=. Uuum i just found £100 :D. I'm gonna save up for a buggy on ebay. Just wondering what i should stay away from.

So, what should i stay away from?

Thanks

any buggy will do to start of with as long as its sound

PVC!!!!!!......aj

Well i doubt i'll be getting more than one, so i might aswell not get cheap and crappy.

PVC? Google gave me:



Made out of pipes?

what the hell is that !!! IM NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING ANYBODY GET HURT... but i would love to see that thing fall apart....... i bet it would go right at the back wheels first....

pea....
if its your first buggy get whats in your budget, just think about later what you may want to do, heavy jumps and tricks certain buggys cant handle
the beating and some can, its all in quality (wich means cost)... my first buggy was a pl comp and its been very good to me still to this day, it takes the beating, i see alot of guys running flexifoils at the beach and alot of libre at events.... its preference.....

ok. if i can sell my phone for £200 that would make £300..making me loaded. Don't think my kite would let me do jumps in a buggy so i don't think i need to worry about impact. I want a blade too, so maybe i could get a cheap buggy and keep some money for that..

mmmm. thanks

Look for an old flexi, PL, Libra. There's some other ones out there, but those are all solid. You can also look into the KiteTrikes as well, pretty cheap new.

ok then. thanks

i would ride it im good at crashing

Do you think i should buy a helmet? I'd only be doing it on grass and i wouldn't go wild

YES yes YESive been trashed in the ground hard a couple of times glad i had my lid on

Buy a helmet first. the grass/sand is fine. the trees, parked car, fence posts are not!!!!!
PL buggy's are fine first buggy, + a good fitting HELMET.pete...

I kite in a field with loads of flints..if i hit my head on one of those i'll probably die :P. Those pegs looks pretty dangerous though, anyone ever got on through their stomach before?

I have a Kite Trike and have ripped two seats. The first one ripped along the side butt seams, both sides, on my second run. The thread failed They sent me a new one and it ripped in the back corner vertical seam behind the butt, just by sitting down after first installing it. this time the fabric failed along the seam allowance.

They were two different productiion runs judging by the design differences between the two. The guys in Colorado who are selling these in the US swear that I am the first to have this problem. I am 200 lbs and have an average arse.

It's been two weeks since my request for the third seat and I have not heard.

Otherwise the buggy build is good with good size stock, good welding and heavy chrome plating. I am withholding judgement till I get the seat situation resolved.

I like the PL Comp XR+ because it breaks down to fit in the back of my Toyota Rav 4 quickly with no tools.

The flexifoil or the Kite Tike have to either have to be unbolted with tools or put on top on a rack I built.
