I've been away from the sport for a few years now and am finally ready to get back to it...

So I'm searching for a new buggy and I'm seeing "out of stock" or no listings at all on almost every kite shop in the world!

peterlynnkites.com and PLKB.world don't even list buggies!
Most of the other brands are MIA also.

What the heck is going on???

These guys have been selling kite buggies which are basically the Flexifoil if that's of interest. I bought the slider axle from them for my buggy and they are very good to do business with. Flexi quit making bugs some time ago, but the factory Flex used still does and these guys import them. IDK about Peter Lynn but I think they are no longer making them either. There some other brands the make more or less custom buggies.

This shop sells kites so they may have some leads on buggies.

These are all in Europe, so dunno if its worth the shipping costs:
Libre Zebra - they unfortunately discontinued all their larger models

Sysmic S3 (U should contact them directly, and not use the webshop)

GT - creme de la creme

Well.... what's going on is that very few people kite buggy anymore if at all. Times change. Some went to kite surfing others just stopped entirely. The links above are pretty much the only kite buggies you can get now or if you see one pop up on the used market. If you're good at welding and fabrication you can always make something yourself . https://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=37089

Thanks for the info everybody!

I was hoping the lack of buggies was just a glitch caused by recent world events.

Sad to hear that the sport is lacking enthusiastic participants. Perhaps it is just a lull, and it can be brought back into the limelight.

The good news is that kites are better than ever, and buggies work just like they did back when there more riders and places to ride may be less crowded. So there is no reason you can't enjoy kite buggy now just as good as ever!

I would definitely buggy if I didn't have water around me. Kite hydrofoiling is so awesome...

But if I didn't have it close by, a buggy would help me get my kite fix

Are you determined to find a new one?
