Mud tires on a low ground clearance dune buggy. Genius ideas these people have.

oh sorry to double post and...

did you look at their "tri-hauler"? I was expecting like... a paddle tire equipped ripper, guess what it is? A Polaris ranger witha different nametag! I want to know where they got the "tri" in the name...

It will need that roll cage...cause its going to flip...unless it has a differential. How do you shift your weight on the dune buggy? Espeically if you are strapped in.

Not the smartest idea.....

You will, won't you? Be funny to see, some guy on a dune buggy get whooped by an ATC 70 in a race, just cause he couldn't go around a corner...

It is just like anything else. You have to learn the machine and master it. Once you develope the skills, I am sure any feat may be possible.

I like it, any company that will offer a new trike is cool in my book. If only somebody would pic up where the ' Big Four ' left off......

On paper maybe.
I'd like to see it do a front flip....intentionally. :wondering

The only good thing I see about this thing is that there is one less tire to go flat but thats about it. I am surprised it is offered in commiefornia and not anywhere from there to texas. Ya figger if it is good for them it is more than enough for the people of other 'less civilized' states.

I give that company 3 years and it will flop.
They will probably be expensive and they offer a quad in every configuration for what you need.

Its not supposed to be an ATV, so comparing it with one makes little sense. 3 wheeled Pilot, Odyssey is more accurrate. They are driven differently and handle differently, for a different purposes. Im not real fond of driving anything Im strapped into, and have to roll inside of, so I am biased, but it looks good to me for what it is. The rear wheels are "crooked" because it has independant rear suspension. (Those are not Blackwaters, by the way). Im not an expert on Pilolts or Odysseys, but I cant find any specific engineering shortcomings on the design other than those same disadvantages you get when you subtract wheel from anything, including ATVs. They will resist rolling more than a 3 wheeled ATV beacuse of the low center of gravity. The only problem I see is a limited braking ability, especially with the small front wheel. Id like to ride one to check it out, but my hat goes off to this company for building and marketing such a product.

They look like Excavators, or some cheap copy.
