Just got back from Duck Creek, Utah...Elevation around 8400 feet.....
My brother-in-law had just got a Joyner 650 Spider and we put it through it's paces on the mountain.....

We checked the nuts and bolts and made sure it had all the vital fluids.....
Then it was off to the trails....
This trail buggy truely fits the name. It went everywhere we pointed it and could be hustled down a trail that had a little open space and straights, faster than our Rhinos...

There were few trails we could think of that the 650 would not fit...
The ride is smoother than the Rhino and the driving experiance is not comparable....

We have alot of time on the trails in quads and Rhinos....We were apprehensive about a "Chinese Buggy" being able to impress us, and I am happy to say that I will be looking for one now also...This Trail Buggy would crawl through the rocks and blast down a trail with ease....It tended to push into some turns but was easy to correct with either a slight lift off the throttle or a tap on the brkes to transfer weight to the front end which then would turn into the corner ......

Only glitch came when my nephew started the buggy one time and my Brother-in-Law happened to be standing by the engine and saw the oil filter gasket blow out, bleeding oil like a knife wound.... He shut it down and retightened the filter which stayed tight the rest of the weekend....Examination of the filter showed a very thin rubber gasket... I would recommend anyone to change it out for a quality filter ASAP....

Everyone from my 16 yearold nephew to our wives enjoyed driving and riding in the buggy...It was amazingly agile and powerful without rejetting for the altitude.....The lights made night riding fun... Very bright with good coverage....

Was a good weekend, even in the mud and occassional rain....

Good review! They really are a fun buggy. I'm glad that you enjoyed the experience.

Great review, I saw a couple of joiners when I was in Mexico. They looked like quality machines.

Welcome to the obsession, my wife calls mine my mistress...The funny thing is---I bought it for her. Now my quad usually sits while I am out with the buggy.

This was the wives ride....

Also, I am 6'2", 240 lbs. My bro-in law is about 5'11", 160 lbs.....
The 650 hauled us with out a problem....My only change would be the left foot dead pedal being placed further ahead, and the pass foot rail also...
But that is just for us guys....

Just an update...See Joyner 650 pic in buggy photo albums....I can't seem to post pics here this time... I B computer dumb sometimes...

My nephew was airing it out a little....

Great photo! Really good camera work. We need more photos like this!

nice air!!

it's flying level too!!

Thanks for the compliments....
It took SEVERAL shots for me to get it right.....Thank god for digital cameras.....

The buggy actually got butt high after the shot....It was consistantly kicking the rear high....

I did a little video of my bro in law doing the same jump....Looks better in stills...
