Yea its a great spot, no bears this time, tracks and poop everywhere where we skid out. The was a wolverine cruising around near our camp, looks like it had found a goose.

Hey Pele. Ive used a 10 inch hub motor in a buggy, it worked great but was pretty heavy. Climbing sand dunes with a kite and full throttle front wheel spin is great. It was a gearless motor, they have no freewheel so there's some extra friction at high speed. I see there's 8in versions available now, haven't tried any. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20220725012117&SearchText=hub+motor+8+inch&spm=a2g0o.productlist.1000002.0 Geared is lighter and no friction but i haven't seen them in 8 inch. Could use a small geared 350w bike hub motor and replace the spokes with 3d printed wide 8in rim. Hub motors all have plain steel axles so they dont love salt water. I use a home made friction drive kit now, can keep it in a dry bag until its needed, and swap it between bike and buggy.

People are still kiting old man/woman range.

We can ship bigfoots to Aus. ATV wheels are heavier because you need a hub with wheel studs, and alloy wheels are heavier than plastic, most buggy wheels are made for golf carts, or lawn equipment. some pics attached, the smooth tyres are duros , the ribbed tyres are kenda beach racers.

Theres bare composite axles in- 1m x 31.6mm, carbon or red or blue/kevlar finish, $60ea (fits inside 35mm steel tube). 1.3m x 31.6mm, carbon finish $80ea 1.4m x 35mm, carbon kevlar hybrid finish, NZ made $120, 1 available. fits 37mm tube, have enough fittings to complete.

The end plates are all 20mm, some are stub axle style, some are bolt style. Not angled but I have seen people shim them for camber.

The seats are great, lots of adjustment so they fit most things, 4x removable side pads. I only have bare composite axels in 1.3 and 1.4m. No problem, there's plenty of seats. Email me gav@plk.nz
