Hi. Seems like an interesting project, but your website crashes my browser everytime I try to go there.

Don't know what browser you use.It does have some videos.Hope you can get it fixed.

The pvcbuggy.com site works o.k. for me with the Firefox browser.

I like the simple approach to the PVC buggy, Glad to see you reinforce the PVC tube with oak dowels - Personally I would still be cautious of total rigidity using such materials.

Maybe a buggy mounted solar panel (50w possibly) might be a simpler solution to battery charging rather than wind power.

I actually I put 1" pvc pipe in side the top two runner  then a piece of electrical conduit ,being a short wheel base an most of the weigh on the back wheels it's good

thanks

Your website has embedded mpg files. I use a mac and it wants me to manually install Flip4Mac plugin.

I won't do that, though. The Quicktime and Flip4Mac plugins are incompatible. If they are both installed they lock up the browser trying to get the files.

Embedding a flash video is more universal.

I can manually download your files using other means.

You also have a nasty script that causes text to follow my mouse. That may also crash other broswers.

If your idea is good, let it sell itself. A gimmicky home page isn't needed.

Amen to that!

I have Visa and Windows Internet Explorer and

have no trouble except for that pesky text

following my mouse so I hurried up and looked at

the videos and left......

Nice little buggy ....a small compact pedal

generator to extend the range??

 Not a bad little buggy fine work but, I don't see any brakes on that contraption :?

I built a e-bike this last summer and love it, great way to get around, as long as it's not raining

Be Safe ;>
