Just spotted one of these,road legal,65mph,400 miles on a tank of fuel,delivered to your door for just £3800,I would love to see there faces when you
turn up with one of them at the Ariel Atom owners club meet
Also,fit a R1 engine in the back of it,could be fun
Rescued attachment little atom.jpg
Put an R1 in it and you could also be dead!
Looks a bit flimsy for that much power.
Have you got a link?
I think I have seen it before, somewhere like Poland?
hmmmmm looks very small and lightly built, not quite the same thing. Would be a nice dune buggy.
has a made in China feel

Here you go http://www.fastbuggies.co.uk/
on the 650 buggie it says its restricted too 30hp to be road legal ...... does that mean you could unrestrict it how much more power would you get and how does that effect it being road legal

It's being registered as a quadricycle rather than a car - a much easier test to get through and the route taken by quad bikes and that plastic
car that self destructs on impact.
If you upgrade the motor above a certain limit then you need to put it in for a proper car SVA, which it will probably fail quite badly.
If it is a quadracylce then it should be restricted on 15 kW and the empty mass on 400 kgs.
Or UK does not follow the EU-rules here.
Grtz
it states the engine power as 18kW which is over the limit for a heavy quadricycle, which means SVA rather than MSVA. If it passes an SVA then its road legal.
also quadricycles cant touch the highway...

Looks good but for not much more you can have proper car.

Id like to build cheaper off road version for kids.
