Go on CL and type in 150cc or 150 cc
Then that is how I found mine.

yes i had seen that.... now it looks to me like these buggys are ready for the trails when you get them... i have seen them in person before there was a group that came in to wilderness trail offroad park on weekend that had them.... i am pretty sure they were 150cc but at the time my wife was riding a 220cc kawasaki bayou and the buggys would run right with it does that sound right for a 150?

They do look trail worthy, maybe not gonna go up steep incline.
I have never even rode in a 150cc but I do expect much more of them, than the lawn mower type engine buggies

Default Let me tell ya!!!

As the owner of 2 Dazon 150 single seaters, I can tell you guys that my buggy's will go anywhere a sport quad will go, and I have yet to find a hill that I couldn't climb! and I mean that! when we take them out to big maple or Haspin we are usually the only things like it there and everybody wants to know about them, so be prepared to draw a crowd sometimes! and the guys on there $13,000 razors usually end up kicking there selfs in the -ss when they find out how much I paid for my buggy's(especially when I go somewhere they can't) usually cause theres are to wide! So be prepared for a BIG change from what you're use too!

The main reason a 150cc buggy would go faster than a 220cc quad is the driver, being in a 'cage' of sorts boosts your willingness to 'gun it' and see what happens. On a quad, if it flips, its likely to be on top of you, no so much for the buggies though.

I have ridden dirt bikes for a while and never liked ridding quads or three wheelers, maybe because when I was 13 I flipped my friends 185s Honda 3 wheeler. We were racing around the block that was half way developed for homes to see who had the fastest time. The next day it was my turn and I wanted to go first, this was after school so we didn't know that the end of the street a 4ft deep 3ft wide trench was dug for water lines/sewer pipes. I was going all out thinking for sure this was going to be the time to beat, had the three wheeler out wide sliding into the corner and my eyes got big when I saw the trench and it was too late and thought I could float over it so stayed on the throttle. Last second I hit the brakes and hit the ditch and did a 1/2 flip and saved the three wheeler with my back and head. The stars came out and my ear was ringing and bleeding (no helmet). As I lay curled up in a ball trying not to cry both my friends come running towards me and then past me to look at the wrecked 3 wheeler. All my friend could say is my dad is going to kick my butt you bent the handle bars.

So I guess that is why I like the buggys due to the seat belts and safety cage. I know it isn't that strong but better than nothing. As for a helmet I wear one all the time except for the time I was filming my wife and son ridding at 10 miles an hour.
