I just wanted to let everyone know that after 1000 miles this buggy is still running strong. It is built tough.( flipped 2 times so far) The only problem I have had is the fuel petcock and the cheap tires. Hard to believe 1000 miles , maybe the mileage thing is wrong. Any body around texarkana texas with a buggy yet?

Tough little buggy. The original speedo works off and on, it quit around 548 +. I added a digital unit that i had laying around . it has climbed to over 500 not sure how correct it is though. It seems to have its problems to. Total would be over 1000 but not on the original speedo. Thats why in your mileage post I put the 548 and your guess is as good as mine. I was in texarkana for a few years also.

I can attest that these are built strong. My family beat on one this last weekend and it did great. Turns on a dime, fairly comfy.

Cons: Tires wear wayyyyyy too fast.
needs different gearing, too fast top end I think
spedo broken at 300 ish miles

here is a pic, I wish i could ride the larger motor version and this back to back.

We have 2 Carbides and we love them. My dad drives his all the time. Me personally I like my Helix. I don't know why but I just prefer it. Both the Carbides have been flipped and they still run great. 541miles on one and 164 on the other. Yeah the tires are cheap the ones on my dad's is wearing FAST.
