Hey Guys

I would like to start a business, I'm going to get my degree in electrical engineering and I want to design and develop a dune buggy with active suspension, for a smoother and more enjoying ride. I'm going to partner with business majors and other mechanical engineers. My question is do you think active suspension and other high tech equipment would be suitable for an dune buggy, hence I want the company name to Advanced Technological Dune Buggies. Also if I sell them for about 7k-10k, do you think their would be a market for them. Thanks and God bless

Hi KidWonder,

We would probably need more information about the project. How much research have you done into the dune buggy market? This sounds like a luxury vehicle market and luxury items are not really flying off the shelves in today's economic climate. What states/terrain are dune buggeys mostly used in? Are there any major competitions or races involving dune buggies? How is the sport evolving. I always though part of the fun of riding in a dune buggy was the fact that you kind of got thrown around a lot. I know very little about dune buggies but I rarely here anyone talking about them and I once lived in the dessert for awhile. Why are you so interested in these vehicles and what is your background with them? Maybe you could start a dune buggy race /demonstration team get sponsors and then run all you research and development through the team.
