I've never seen a buggy up close, so I don't know exactly average dimentions, etc...I joined a co-op that teaches and let's you use tools to build bicycles. if anyone a autocad, pro-e, microstation or any other cad file I would be grateful. I don't want to make a direct copy, but dims, and methods would help. Also, is there a reason buggies have three wheels? why not 2 or 4, or out riggers?

here you go may help...

That's some really nice work. I'm trying to make my mum get a welder so i can make some stuff. Where do you get your materials from?

Hey skymeat,

You can find a pdf document here: Libre VMAX Copy
I made my buggy of this plans with a few changes, works fine.

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I was looking for. any ideas on tubing? I was hoping to use OXIII, works on bike frames, but it looks like I might need heavier stuff...the geometry bears no resemblance to a bike frame.

You are always welcome to come over to Seaside and check out some Libres "up close" smile. I have an older model and another rider over here has the hardcore.

Well its a personal choice but I go for 304 grade stainless

forks 27mm
side rails 33mm
axle 42mm but my latest buggy is 48mm
all 3-4mm wall thickness

hope that helps
