Is anyone making a Honda Pilot/Odyssey type machine? Where can a person get information on them is so?
Posted by: Howard
How do these machines perform for all around riding? Not just go fast and jump high on the dunes? Do they work well for slow speed trails? Looking for something like a Yamaha Rhino but better performance and a higher fun factor.

how about this one
Drakart has several modles to chose from, but they are more upscale than some
I like the tornado with the 1300cc Hyabusa EFI SUki motor, How bad is that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The edge product line out of Australia is impressive. They sell mainly kits and plans, but the end results are awe inspiring. If you are unfamiliar with a welding torch, they also sell them assembled. Pricing is in AU dollars, so the American Dollar stacks up quite nice...
Much cheaper than the DragKarts...

Why yes.......The Pilot is there mini suv, and the Odyssey is the minivan...........just kidding right now I don't know of any atv type machine that honda is releasing other than there current atv line up. It is kind of funny that they would use the two name that were originally used for there off road vehicles and give them to there automobile lineupBR>

There are few smaller companies that sell mini buggies, some just sell the kits and some sell the plans. The only one I know of that is currently being mass produced is the Kasea Explorer. It only has a 250cc engine though, so I imagine it's not really to powerful.

These guys make some cool plans(some of them you can order assembled):

I used to ride my Honda Odyssey and my homebuilt mini buggy on the trails occasionally and they did pretty good, I imagine these ones would be similar. I forgot about the Drakart, that think is sick! Here's another one that is more suited for technical trail riding, lot's of ground clearence.

Check out RidgeRunner.biz there made in Nampa Idaho. They use Polaris 700 or 800 twins, 13.5in travel.

the Drakart is one bad looking machine, as if I didn't have enough on my wish list

My little 150cc does extremely well on trails (see my pictures), it will literally go anywhere a 2wd quad will go. I got it to safely have fun with my boys. Of course it is not all that fast but I still have fun riding with my brother and his Rhino, he takes his daughter in that. After a few mods it will climb any hill with enough traction, jumps are a little rough on me though, you just can't use your legs to absorb hits like a quad.
