Racing events are held on dirt roads and on desert, wooded, and other natural terrain.
They utilize treaded, knobby or sand paddle type tires mounted to a large travel suspension front and rear that enables the vehicle to travel over very rough terrain and jumps. Since that time, the dune buggy design has evolved to cover a wide variety of off-road terrains and purposes, including racing. The high reliability and simplicity of the air-cooled motor lent itself well to use in desert areas of the US Southwest and Mexico, and hence the term "Dune Buggy" was coined. 'The VW Store' makes no claims to the safety of these chassis for any purpose.The dune buggy or off-road buggy originated as a custom built off-road machine based on the Volkswagen Beetle "Bug" chassis and engine. 'The VW Store' does not encourage, promote or recommend racing, jumping, or any type of hard, fast, or trick riding. They are not designed for racing or jumping. The VW Store chassis are designed for pleasure riding. Never use the vehicle in an unsafe or illegal manner. Always wear a professionally installed 5 Point harness. The most carefully designed vehicle possible could not be safe, unless it is properly constructed, maintained and operated.
