yeah. having a passenger is nice but i dont feel that i can climb because i really havent had my buggy too long but have been around them forever. just not enough trust in myself i guess

i know your wanting opinions on 1 vs 2 seaters mine is a 4 seater and i am glad it is that way i can carry the family with me if they want to go,if not i can carry a couple of friends if i dont want to ride by myself,plus the extra help is great if needed

Ask your passenger to step out while you climb. I do miss the two seater because it was so much fun scaring the crap out of the passenger.

Comparing a one seater to a two is like comparing a crotch rocket to a stock newer 'Vette, to me. They can both go like hell, handle well and are a blast to drive. But in a one seater, like a sport bike, everything is designed around YOU. The weight balance, and less of it, makes a HUGE difference. You can see all four corners of the buggy much easier, and I feel more in control in one. (Dont know if I AM, just feels better !) Their is no comparison, IMO, when you are climbing, or even rough trail riding. It feels incredibly safe, also , to be in the middle, away from the sides of the buggy. Definately a confidence booster. I know, a potent 2 seater will do just about anything a one seater will of the same quality, its just easier in a one seater. When I went from my two seater to my one seater, it made a bigger difference than it did when I went from a 1675 3 rib to a 2387 6-rib in my two seater, as far as performance. NO joke!. Of course my two seater was a little clapped out, and heavy, and the new one got new suspension put under it, too. All of this is in reference to a chassis designed to be a one seater, though. Not a two seater with the seat in the middle. I would think alot of it would still apply though.

You could get most of the best of both worlds and do an inline twoseater, like Willie's or my son's!!

I do miss having one of my sons in the buggy with me when we are just trail riding. Thanks to Willie though, now they can go with me again!!!

yeah im doing stuff to my motor and thts another reason. lol another reason why ive been considering a 1 seater is tht i have a 1 inch bar where my steering mounts and i had a grab bar and it ripped off one weekend. and if i move it up to my loop with 1 1/2 inch it will be in my face. plua i can sit lower with a 1 seater which helps with my climbing because my top of the loop is in my face

If your Ohshit bar ripped off, I'd be VERY concerned about the rest of the welds on that chassis ! Its possible someone different welded it on than the person who did the rest, but if you aren't real familiar w/ that frame, I'd do a REAL CLOSE inspection for cracks in the other welds, and recheck it often.

i welded my o shit bar on. the rest of the frame was pro. welded except for the front. we legenthened the front 15 inches i used to be really short. 87" my dad welded that. it held together. and i ride in wellsville.
