I have been interested in building a race car somewhat like these only with a motor. The size and shape is somewhat like the fourcross mountain machine only with no suspension and powered with a wheel chair electric motor. These could be raced indoors or out, cheap to build and you don't have to go long distances to drive it.
I would like to get some feedback on this idea. Here are some pics of the buggies I have been building for the last 4 or so years.

Hi Theo
Im involved in promoting "downhill mountain biking" through the Rough Riderz club, with full suspension bikes capable of handling the speed, jumps and other terrain you find on proper downhill trails...
Your buggies look pretty cool though... I would love to have a go in one!

They look like a lot of fun, so where exactly are you based? Some of our members might be interested in this sort of machine, but it looks like a completely different animal to the Fourcross bike. Im not sure what other feedback I can give you really but please feel free to email me at
www.roughriderz.co.uk with all the details and costs, etc of your buggy design.
Cheers, Phil
