ground clearance.


was just wondering with you guys and gals using the big skinny wheels ( they look like motorbike wheels) in the pics ive seen you are all way up high and i was wondering how this affects your cog (center of gravity) do you adjust the seat to sit lower ?

im building a couple of home made jobs and would like to do one with the above wheels and if i have an idea what its like i can rule out the donts ect
thanks jimbo..

Well, if a buggy is designed for barrows, and then you put bigfoots or the same size motor bike wheels or discs on, for a start the forks will have to accommodate the larger diameter wheels, and you have to think about getting the front of the side rails back down again, hence the need for a goose neck...if you saw the last buggy I built it needed two front ends to suit both types of wheels to keep the ride height the same

same buggy two front ends
