One buggy to consider is the Joyner 150. It is a smaller verson of the regular size minibuggy and it has the 150 engine. I've never seen one, only heard of them here but it might be a perfect fit for someone 5foot tall. Give Glade at Edge Powersports a PM or phone call. He is a Joyner Dealer and can drop ship one to you completely ready to drive.

I was told that the Joyner 150 is not available in the US. My son is under 5 ft. and rides a JEHM Blazer 150 SE 1502R with no problems. You can see a picture at www.Familygokarts.com. My wife is is only 5 ft 1 in and drives a 250 Joyner. There are some used 250's around but nay be above your price range. Also I believe Awsome Buggy is getting ready to introduce a 150 with independent rear suspension.

the pictures of the extension on the pedals are great!!!!!!!!!!!!  now i dont have to worry too much about seat distance, i just need to make sure the width of the buggy is not more than 59" for my trailer. i talked to a carter talon dealer here in la (thanks to psychtron for the info) and they are offering a talon gsx 150 for $2299. i would have to pay sales tax cause its in my state. is that a good deal? on the carter website they showed a new talon zr 150 for the same price with a $200 off coupon. anyone know anything about this buggy? i like it better cause it doesnt have a bench seat like the gsx. thanks for all the information.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing regarding the Joyner. That is why I suggesed she get in contact with Glade. If anyone can find one of the Joyner 150s it would probably be Glade.
Hey does anyone here remember "Beckster<3" ?
That is a BuggyNews trivia test for you

It also has a new SYM 150 engine with a 2 year warranty on that zr 150! But I asked them if they carried or would order one and they said no they only carry the model out front GSX150. They dont really know what is on Carters website ( at least the person I talked to). You COULD call Carter direct and see if they would ship you one BUT I bet there would be a freight charge, negating the $200 savings. But hey call them up and see what Carter says so at least you know.
I do not think you will have any problem fitting/driving the buggy. Take a ride out there and sit in it they have 2 right out front a red and a blue.
I JUST remembered too I saw a Hammerhead inside the building. It is another maker of buggies. The only downside is they are even more expensive than that Carter 150.

hey i have a talon gsx 150 that i bought at that place in hammond in december..it was actually 2500 with tax.
i am willing to sell it due to having no trailer to haul it around..private message or email me if you are interested..i am located in slidell,la so if you are interetsed you could come see and test drive it to see if you are interested to buy it.
my email is hardworkerslawn@gmail.com
the seat to pedal distance would be perfect for you and i have done some clutch mods so it will be ready for any mud or levy riding you will have to throw at it
