Newsflash July 2011. The Scout buggy listed here is no longer available. Flexifoil has re-engaged the original Easter European builder of the original stainless steel buggy and is putting them back in production. This will include the wide-axle option (yay!). Look for availability 4th Qtr 2011. Pricing not yet available.
The definitive buggy designed by Flexifoil and Rob Hills, one of the world’s top buggy freestyle pilots. This buggy has been tested under the most extreme conditions and has a great all-around design that’s built to last. It is essentially the same layout and configuration of the classic stainless buggy they built for many years, but now built of ED treated steel for corrosion resistance with a resilient powder coated finish for even more corrosion protection and a gloss finish. Both the seat and down tube are fully adjustable to cater for most riders. Another thing we noticed was the addition of steel gussets welded into the front fork and rear axle attachment points. Previously these had been common aftermarket mods made by extreme freestyle riders for added strength, so we are glad to see it in the production model.
The wrap-around seat is a totally new design, deeper than the previous seat and keeps tight to your body as you turn and twist, giving comfortable lateral and lower back support. The seat feels more like a "bucket" style than the original and has added, removable side-rail pads for the hips.
You can get it in just about any compact car. The back axle comes of with two bolts & nuts, and the front fork & wheel comes off with a single bolt. It's light enough to heft to the top of a car and lash to a roof rack, too.
