A Land Sailer Is A Wind Powered, 3 Wheeled, Vehicle That Is A Real Thrill To Ride.
Yes,I know it's not a bike BUT, the landsailer sure is cool!
A land sailer is essentially just a three wheeled go-cart that has a sail and is powered by the wind. It has light-weight wheels for nice hard surfaces and optional balloon wheels for firm but softer surfaces. Beaches, dry lake beds, open playing fields all make good places to sail the Wind Chaser® .
The Wind Chaser®
is one of the most affordable ones on the market. It even has a hand brake.
Wind powered vehicles are experiencing a great surge in popularity these days. Not only are they fun and exciting, but they cost nothing to run! Those who enjoy having a very "green recreation" or who could care less, enjoy this sport and tend to group together to form clubs for the sharing of information, events, casual competition racing or setting speed records.
These vehicles are reportedly capable of speeds up to four times the wind speed. So,you need to always wear a helmet, safety belt, gloves,and eye protection, and exercise extreme caution at all times.
Land sailing works best in windy, flat areas - taking place mainly on sandy beaches at low tide, air fields, and dry lake beds (playas) in desert regions and salt flats. But any hard or firm, fairly even surfaced, wide open area will do. Areas with asphalt or cement surfaces, football fields before or after play, open flat grassy areas.
In the US we sail mostly on dry lakes in Southeastern California, Nevada and southeastern Oregon. These places are some of the best land sailing venues in the world, combining an excellent sailing surface and a reasonable proximity to civilization.
