Just like kites, I kind of have a 'light wind buggy' and a 'not-so-light I just recently got set up with both and see the advantage of having both. I'm still in the process of learning to kite buggy myself and I don't think that will come to an end anytime I feel no shame though, I like to think I am without ego and I'm more than willing to give way and accept opinions of others if I think they I'm not a careful poster but that's just me working through to an eventual, albeit clumsy conclusion on a publicįorum. I buggied alone until 2007 when there was a brief blip in popularity. I hadn't owned a computer or joined a forum until around 2008 and With regards to the Peter Lynn, ten years says it all, it was ignorance on my part. I'm just trying to save the guy some $$ and improve his experience, but of courseĪdmittedly he'll never know that unless he starts out on something smaller as he has no reference point. Lot money in the long run and have me progress more quickly. Honestly I'm only thinking of how, if I was to do it all over again, I'd opt for something more substantial. I wasn't referring to your bug as cheap and nasty or assuming anything about your gear, I was speaking generally to all. It can be hard to gauge emotion through words alone and I'd hate to think I offended you and anyone else or have come across as a snob and by the way This isn't the forum for ranting and ranting isn't my style, sorry if it came across like that. I was just engaging in some friendly banter. Haha, you caused me absolutely no offense, far from it. Maybe i am missing something and am open to correction If 2 people have used the same buggy for the length of time you stated in your post, how bad can it be Then you go on to mention cheap,nasty back breaking rides Then you gave it to a mate and he is still using it 18yrs later My other ride is a custom PL, much more stable, but needs more open space. Whoa, now that's a good rant, feel better now? It's all down to horses forĬourses, I started with (and still have) a flexi buggy, changing the seat made a huge difference for me, not everyone has bundles of cash to throwĪround and make the best of the funds available. One reason you may find that kite buggying is not for you is because you bough a cheap nasty back breaking ride that Sure it is a lot of money to spend on a first bug but I'm not suggesting anyone pay the asking price, I'm sure there is room for movement and if youĭon't like it then sell it for what you paid for it. The bug in my link needs no modification, it is comfortable, it is 20 years old and is as new, it will last a

How much did the buggybags seat cost you, not far off the cost of the bug I'd imagine ? Then you had to make further modifications to make itĬomfortable. It is a fair journey from you but I'd say well worth it for this rare stainless (as new) ride. You might also want to look at the RS buggy, a Libre copy but just as good. The Flexi bug I still have hanging on the

The Peter Lynn lasted me 10 years and 500+ sessions before I gave it to a friend who still uses it 18yrs on. Like bigkid I have also owned the three you mentioned. I say should, I currently own 2 bugs by Trikbitz and 1 by Popeye. On eBay but will be the last buggy you should ever need to buy. We can all vouch for Trikbitz and Popeye.

The ultimate buggy is one made specifically for you (kiteboyza ^). The deeper seats are usually found on medium to large bugs, so you'll need to consider how you're going to transport it The deep seat is going to be more comfortable too, if Some do modify their Peter Lynn's, flexi's etc to include some sort of padded back support.Ī deeper seat (Libre) will help you hold more lateral kite power which translates to more speed. Those smaller bugs can give you back ache if like me you suffer from a weak back. We need to know your budget so we can spend your money for you.
