[A Woolman]

Hi all,

I am a newbie here so thanks for having me!

I have some powerkites that have been in my garage a long time and need dusting off so to speak!.So am keen to give Buggying a crack and maybe can get a buggy but it may need some tyres?

Any ideas from anyone where i would get?I am in Hawkes Bay so prob would have to get couriered from Auckland,Wellington??

 

Thanks

Happy Flying

Welcome.

most buggies use wheel barrow tyres and tubes as standard. Just check the sizing written on the side wall of the original tyre and you should be able to find the same size at the local hardware store.

if not, google is your friend. Search for a kite shop that sells kite buggies and they should be able to ship something out to you.

I got a set of barrows from my local tyre shop.  Take the rims with you and see what they say - it can't hurt to ask

Melbourne based and they sell the "normal" buggy tyres, and plastic rims.

Got a set or two of these tyres and rims, and the plastic rims are almost indestructible. 

And as mentioned, a hardware store or tyre shop can help you. Used both before.
