Dune buggies are lightweight, off-road vehicles designed for driving on sandy terrains, such as beaches and deserts. They typically feature large tires for better traction and a powerful engine to navigate through soft sand. The open design allows for a fun and exhilarating ride, making them popular for recreational use. These vehicles often have a tubular frame and can be customized for performance and comfort. Dune buggies can be powered by various engines, including gasoline and electric options, and are used in activities like racing and exploring rugged landscapes. Safety gear, such as helmets, is recommended when driving them.
