Matt Spears, known for his unusual adventures in the motorcycle world, decided to transform an old buggy bought on Facebook Marketplace into something completely unique.
The idea? To adapt the engine from his KTM 450 to the vehicle, creating a new chassis, engine mount, and other necessary parts. The project, full of experimentation and challenges, perfectly reflects the DIY spirit, with many attempts and adjustments to make the engine work properly in the buggy.
Throughout the process, Spears received help from a friend and faced problems such as improper gears and a lack of brakes, which nearly caused an accident with a tree. Gradually, he solved these issues, adding brake and throttle pedals, experimenting with different steering systems, and adjusting the transmission. Despite the setbacks, the project moved forward, offering lots of fun and creativity.
The result is a one-of-a-kind contraption that combines a touch of improvisation with functionality, though its safety on public roads remains questionable. Spears shared the tests and challenges in a video, allowing the public to follow this innovation journey and reflect on driving such a vehicle.
