Dune Buggies

While other types of vehicles would sink in the sand, Dune Buggies are beach friendly recreational vehicles designed with sand and sun in mind. The wide tire attached to dune buggies allows them to move over sandy terrain with ease. The upper portion of the car where the driver and passengers sit, is usually completely open or at least open on a few sides. Dune buggies are often created by modifying an existing vehicle to be more powerful. More power is generated by increasing the engine power or lightening the weight of the vehicle. You can also find Dune Buggies for babies and toddlers. Check out the Power Wheels Dune Racer for hours of entertainment.

Another more hands on method of creating a dune buggy is to build one from scratch with a steel tube frame welded together supporting the engine and other essential parts. While dune buggies were originally designed to travel over desert and beach terrain, resourceful drivers are finding these powerful vehicles to be quite useful on all types of terrain. Some dune buggies have been modified for indoor track racking, regular road driving or military use. Today dune buggies come in different sizes and styles that vary in everything from the types of engines used to the materials used for the shell of the car.
