It looks like it has a ton of potential. Personally, I think I would re-shoot the video, with the driver wearing a helmet, and strapped in correctly, with the safety features being a selling point. I agree, there are too many people pushing these types of vehicles to their limits, but not adhering to the proper safety precautions while doing so. It looks like it could be fun, but a few modifications would have to be done. With a very affordable price, quite a few people would end up owning one, but without some good safety features, it will go the way of the Honda three wheelers real quick.....just my 2cents.....

The high ground clearance would certainly help you get over the berms. They should probably limit the speed. Low gearing would work for me. Of course there is no cure for stupid. Somebody will get hurt, regardless. And somebody will blame the manufacturer.

I kind of like this style because its easy to get my fat butt in and out of.

It seemed more stable than I would have thought it to have been. The turing radius didn't seem to be to good, and it seemed in both videos it went dead several times.

But for what it is and for the price it 's a very good deal. If it comes in dark green or camo I would buy one for roaming the farm! Wink

The turning radius has to be what it is because the front end is so wide. We don't want it to flip. Also in the mud it just slid all over the place. The engine issue was the idle adjustment.
We had a production meeting today and the second version with all the changes will be done in 3 weeks. I am adding a radio, a hold bar for the passenger, front bumper, stronger and longer rear shocks (seen in the mud video), vents for the radiator, longer wheel base, a camping rack on the top, latches for the seat, and a bucket seat option with 5 point harness. And I will make sure it comes in all colors including camo green.

If it comes in under 60" wide and doesn't weigh too much, I'd like to own one. Will it have a rear seat? Trailer hitch? If so, sounds perfect for what I want one for.

It's pretty cool. I like the fact that it is based on a buggy instead of just being the regular golf cart platform.

With those improvements.... and the price staying under 5k Rolling Eyes I might just have to have one of these. In dark green or camo of course Very Happy
