that thing looks like it would never, ever get boring to own

Until you attempted to do some real awkward crawling with it, since it obviously has decent articulation, and fell off it, then it rolled over on you. At that point, the average person would curse it out, then sell it.

I think I'd keep it, though.

I'd use that as an excuse to put a 25cc subaru motor on it Golden Eagle Bike Engines, Geared Belt Drive Bicycle Engines / Motors for Mountain Bikes & More

:D:D:turtle:

Haha - not for $600 I WON'T!

I could get a 32cc chainsaw engine and have the same effect with 2-stroke HP and lighter weight... and I could run it on synthetic fuels!

Why are ecomodders so anxious to burn some gas in a vehicle the burns none??

Christ 12-16-2009 10:09 PM

I never said anything about burning gas, my friend.

I could see getting bored w/it, gimmie a dirt bike if those fat a$$ tires need a motor and I'll just wait for you at the end of the trail http://forum.ecomodder.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif.

I have to agree that this thing would be way cooler with some sort of self powered system be it electric or flaming hydrocarbons.

I can't see the point. Anything you could do on this thing, you could do with less effort on a mountain bike - 2 wheels instead of 4, with skinnier tires, so much less friction, no?

go 0.5mph ? ride on sand or snow? :D

there's clearly a market for motorized quads when motorized bikes can fit down skinnier trails.. it's just a different experience.

I'd love to get one of these things, but I fear it's probably well outside my budget for such things. :cool:
