The Ivanpah buggy is based off of the designs of Carlos Fandango (a.k.a. “Popeye The Welder”), famous for building some of the best built custom buggies in Great Britain. With cooperation from Popeye and added input from some of the best buggy racers in the world, the Ivanpah buggy design has become a reality and sets the standards in which all other buggies will be measured up to. Finally a production full race buggy for the racing market without the expense of custom "one-off" fabrication.
With its extra long rear axle, rigid cross braced frame, balanced weight distribution, higher "cockpit style" frame rails, dropped swan neck and interactive roll cage, the Ivanpah buggy delivers the highest possible performance combined with the most comfortable ride while maximizing safety and stability.
The Ivanpah buggy is the strongest built production buggy on the planet and it is backed with a 5 year limited warranty to prove it. The Ivanpah buggy dares you to compare against other buggies on the market; you won't find a stronger more comfortable full race production buggy!
The High Polished Stainless Steel version of the Ivanpah buggy is made completely from T304 and T316 stainless steel and sports an infinitely adjustable downtube, extra wide adjustable foot pegs, 20mm rear axle bolts, 20mm stainless steel front axle shaft, solid one piece T316 seamless 2" stainless steel rear axle and T304 3/8" stainless steel front fork plates. This buggy is built for the extreme racer that demands the best!
The powder-coated steel version is made from a mixture of 4130 Chrome Molly tubing and carbon steel plates and maintain all the same strengths and thicknesses as the stainless steel buggy and is every bit as durable. The steel version gives us the ability to customize the buggy for the rider in nearly any color imaginable. Ultra hard baked powder coatings come in a huge assortment of colors and we can even mix-n-match colors for that special customized look (like a red / white / blue buggy).
We had our Ivanpah buggy at JIBE (Jekyll Island buggy Expo) 2010 in May and it was a big hit. Everybody that took a run in it was impressed with it's stability and comfort. "Like on railroad tracks" was a common statement. Power-slides on any surface were smooth and predictable.
As solid as it is, this buggy is not easily taken apart for transport, so you should plan on being able to transport it in one piece. Use either a truck bed, buggy trailer, or an external rack such as is often built for a trailer hitch receiver.
We will contact you and discuss your color choices at the time of your order. Seats, bags and rail pads are available in 4 colors, Red (shown above), Blue (also shown above), Yellow and Black.
The Ivanpah buggy was first introduced at the 2008 annual NABX (North American Buggy Expo) event and was a solid hit! Everyone who sat in the new buggy was immediately impressed with the comfort and overall design...those that rode it wanted to take it home!
