GIO Buggy Model GT1102S
 

Looking at buying Gio 110 2 person dune buggy. My son won an auction for $400.00... Sounds too cheap. It is new direct from Gio Bikes in Vancouver, BC.

Anyone have an experience with this GT1102S. It is for two 16 year olds.

Thanks

Welcome!

I'd be surprised to see a 110cc motor haul two people around. The buggy weighs considerably more than a child's quad, and most of those are 110cc powered.

It could be fun with one person, and performance improvements are possible. I wondered what one of those would be like with the Gio 125cc pit bike engine as a shifter cart. 8)

Looking for someone who has bought one
 

Thanks for the reply Weldangrind, but I would really like to hear from someone who has bought and used one. It is for two kids and I don't want it to be too fast anyways, so the 110 should be fine??

Not sure we have any buggy owners here... I have a Gio 110cc ATV for my kids. I'm sure it is the same motor. It has enough power to pull my 280lbs ass around at a reasonable clip for the steering and suspension shortfalls.

With a bit more weight in a buggy, and two teenagers in it, I don't think it would be smoking fast, but it should whip them around some.

You can always upgrade the engine for alittle more power later.

Also-- If I'm not mistaken, The 110cc buggy comes with the 3spd + Reverse semi-automatic transmission, which makes a huge difference in terms of standing start ability.

I have installed a semi-auto engine in a "beast" sized ATV, that previously had an auto-- What a difference. It was more than enough to haul my 265lb arse around....
