Far too wide for the trails here (A Honda Foreman is too wide) not to mention the suspension articulation is very little (I'd crack the hull in seconds of getting on it).

Good idea, bad implementation.

You use them in the terrain suited for them.Be ideal here in OZ. Mostly open Country.I can see they would be a lot of fun.

A pretty cool ride and about 47K, USD. Could be a handy vehicle for rescue workers too..
Funny you mentioned the suitability of Oz. The inventor,Gibbs Technologies Ltd, are from New Zealand.
Mr Gibbs by the way also has a fully functional amphibious car for only $300K USD. It is the AQUADA
I'll take one of each. laugh.gif
