Snow buggy in Norway


Below a link to a video of my snowbuggy.


It performs very,very well in powder snow : it builds up speed easily, can go upwind, half wind and downwind.

Most importantly, it behaves identical to riding on beach sand.

Welcome to the forum and that is one great design - if I was able to get up to a nice snowy area with some wind I would definitely mod my buggy off of your design.

I like it! It looks very practical and simple. I wish I had one last month for the 2 ft. of snow we got!

Excellent buggy!
love the steering.
I wonder if some fins on the rear outer edges would help hold the tail in place?

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of buggiers that would like an all season all terrain buggy. I built a light weight sled using skis and found that putting the center of pull in front of the center of gravity the "break out " will be in a direction that follows the kite forward instead of backwards.I find that I'm more comfortable going forward out of controll than backwards out of controll. Good luck .Have fun.
