paddles Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I've been looking at scooters and carts, and a question that arises, is, is a 3 wheeled cart a better option? however most pics show 3 or more dogs pulling a 3 wheeled cart? is a 3 wheeled cart that much heavier than a scooter? please post your opinions and experiances... Photos would be good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kezzzza Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Hi Paddles I got a 3 wheel gig last week, I have two Siberians and they have no problem pulling it. It's not that heavy, I got it from Windchill it's great runs smoothly. I have also only run one dog with this gig and he had no problem pulling it.

Kezzzza, how did you go scooting the cart? did you need to? did you only run on the flat? i have 2 english springers... so slightly smaller? less pulling ability (Maybe) Love the photo!!

kezzzza Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Paddles, there is room between where you put your feet to scoot along if needed but you dont have to scoot all the time. I'm sure once you get them going you might be suprised with what they can do. At the moment because they have just started with the gig I'm only going on the flat until they are more experienced I'm lucky where I live we have a trail that goes along the side of the road from one town to the next which is mostly flat with a few small inclines.

Thank you for your replys Kezzzza, they have been very helpfull!!! I have been talking to several people, including windchill, and I think (i have in no way made up my mind in any fashion!lol) that I might do better with a scooter. Whilst it is mostly flat around here, I would hate to pay for a cart (soooo expensive) and then find I should have bought a scooter... next year, I am going to join/go to the siberian husky club info days, and see some vehicles in action, and then make up my mind I think. Where are you based Kezza? anywhere near Echuca? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
