earth surfering toys

dirtsurfer · April 05, 2006, 02:02:04 PM

these are my toys. They are steered by leaning the seat in the direction you want to go. They are very stable and make really tight turns at high speed, a lot of fun on hills and ditches. It's like surfing dirt. Looking for places to ride around the treasure coats area. Also looking for riders. If you want to try one out, I'll meet you somewhere. They are easy to ride, I've got kids as young as 7 riding them. Email me at leantrike@aol.com

they cost about 500 to 800 bucks in parts and metal to build. I put one together if someone wants to supply the parts. They are that hard to make in a garage.

They do look cool.

They are really kool to ride. Still picture don't do it justice. I'd like to take a couple to Ocala if anybody's interested

i see two levers. i take it those are brakes, does only one tire spin, or is it single axel, both tires moving? im guessing the other lever is for throttle.
one more question, how would you go about turning these things on, i mean that wont it take off on you once you pull the cord?

The ones in the picture are back wheel drive, with throttle lever on the right and brake on left. They are pull start with centrifical clutch or turque converter. There is a differential on the back axle for two wheel drive. I have an electric front wheel drive for the small one. I've been riding them in a Ft. Pierce sand pit and am looking for more riders. Anybody interested?

I'm looking for places to ride around Fla. I'm not sure if tracks well let me ride or not

i wouldnt want to jump one of those...no shocks..

looks awesome though, definatly a pit bike to get the looks.

question though...do you have these thing patented?? if not..secure your idea before someone else does.

they do have some suspenion in the seat and the back rest and are fun to jump small jumps cause they can turn so fast when you land. Patents run out.
