ebay kite buggy

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename...

Weight is about 28lbs for shipping, This seems low for a buggy?

Any Idea if this is a decent buggy to get started with on the Oregon and Washington beachs?

Thanks
Brian

Do a search on "kite trike" or "rockville" on this forum. That will give you all the pros and cons you will need to make an informed decision. I own one and it suits my needs fine. However, the seat sucks and the front wheel assembly has issues. They both can be overcome but if you have deeper pockets I would upgrade from the start.

I agree !

If you read past threads the general feeling is that this buggy will get you started but it will leave you looking to upgrade almost right away. The comp. xl is an affordable buggy that you possibly won't ever want to trade up. Peter Lynn has tons of extras to change it up without having to buy a whole new buggy.

A used P.L. will take you a LOT farther than a new Kite Trike.

You get what you pay for in this sport !
