How in the world did I get to this? Somewhere along the line I veered off the beaten path. My mind has been there lately...off road. I've been thinking once again how fun it would be to have an accessible atv. Like everything else that seems to be coming out new for disabled drivers, the best (and usually the only) comes from the UK.
Not only is a Fun Buggy inexpensive to buy, but running and operating costs are unbeatably low. It’s air cooled 340cc 4 stroke single cylinder gas engine and fully automatic transmission, provide total simplicity in terms of driveability and practicality.
Weighing in at just 485lb, it’s manoeuvreability over more demanding terrain is unbelievable. You’ll still be grinning well after the engine has stopped its final cooling ticks.
Other features include:
*Single piece high-resistance polyethylene shell
*Tubular steel chassis with anti-corrosion treatment
*Lombardini single cylinder engine, 4 stroke, overhead camshaft, air cooled 340cc
*Electric start with manual start option
*Automatic Transmission
*Forward and reverse gear with differential
*Hydraulic braking system with disc brakes at the front, drum brakes at the rear
*Hand operated parking brake
*Speedometer, Odometer, Fuel gauge, Warning lights for headlights, indicators and emergency lights
*3 point inertia reel seat belts
And this is just one of several similar vehicles offered by SECMA.
SECMA was established in 1995 by Daniel RENARD, who is a specialist in the design and manufacture of medium-volume vehicles. He has been one of the leaders of this industry in France for 28 years.
SECMA (Societe d'Etude et de Construction Automobile) is situated in Aniche in the north of France, where the company is has a factory of 8500m2 in which the full range of SECMA vehicles are manufactured for distribution throughout the world.
Will the US ever catch on?
