Don't want one, but top marks for engineering something different.

Hmm. Not wide enough to be a buggy, too narrow for a bike. No anti-roll bar, I wonder if this is deliberate (it may say in the commentary I've got the sound off!)

I imagine it'd do technical climbs pretty well if it had diff lock.

We now know that it is capable of riding on flat sand.
Nicely built but I'd rather have a fat bike.

OK, it looks cool and is a great bit of engineering

However, what purpose does it serve?

I love fatbikes - great fun

I love quads - good petrol powered fun - especially going uphill - bit nervous going downhill though

The video is also pretty damn cheesy

I always wanted an off-road pedalo - proper four wheel fun on the descents, with a bucket seat low down and a steering wheel. With all the bits he's made for that you could make a perfect one. I think he's wasted all that engineering!

Had to turn that off, it music was annoying me.
Not much steering lock before the wheels touch the frame.

I'd still like a go on it ๐Ÿ™‚ looks like it could be fun.
