Glossary : Kite Chariot - Definition of key terms> General> About the traction kite > About the mountainboard > About the buggy Buggy practice
Speed: Flying deer float from point A to point B. Speed is calculated by GPS. The fastest driver wins. In 2012, Arjen Van der Tol, team rider Peter Lynn / XXtreme broke the world speed record in a buggy (and all naturally propelled sports combined) with a run at 133 km/h at the controls of a Vapor wing from 2.2m². Tack : Change of tack (180° change of course) to leeward. Gybe: Change of tack (180° change of course) to windward. Jump: It's possible to jump in a buggy, even if it's rather dangerous. You'll need all the protection you can get, and you'll often need to be strapped into your buggy. Superman: A freestyle buggy jump in which the driver pulls his body out of the seat during the jump. 360°: A complete rotation of the driver with his buggy. This trick is quite accessible when performed while skidding on the ground. 2 wheels: Balancing on the front wheel and one side wheel while moving forward Buggy components
Standard wheels: As their name suggests, these are the default wheels found on entry-level or mid-range buggies like the Peter Lynn XR or Libre Zebra. Width: 10 cm - Diameter: 40 cm. Midi wheels: Also known as extra-wide wheels. These grooved wheels have twice the surface area in contact with the ground as standard wheels. Midi wheels are ideal for use on soft sand or uneven ground. Width: 15 cm - Diameter: 40 cm. Bigfoot wheels: Even more voluminous than midi wheels, bigfoot wheels are made to go everywhere, even in fine, dry sand. Bigfoot wheels are available in several versions: light, asymmetrical, beach racer, etc. Rear axle: The metal axle behind the buggy's fifth wheel, to which the two rear wheels are attached. The wider the axle, the more stable the buggy. Sideframes: These frame parts connect the rear axle to the stem or central beam. Fork: The structure to which the front wheel is attached. The fork is attached to the rest of the buggy's structure by ball bearings, enabling the front wheel to rotate. Footpegs: The footbraces on which the driver rests his foot to control the buggy's steering. > Back to shop powerkite |
