THE TAIPAN INTRODUCTION
| Another new offroader with
rack & pinion steering, heavy duty frame, ATV wheels, a lot more internal
room, hydraulic disc brakes & suits industrial motors up to 14hp or 250cc
bike motors. The Taipan is The Edge Products mid-sized offroader which
features a full box frame, full rollcage structure, rack & pinion steering,
and more power for the daring.
Power comes from either a 9-14hp Industrial Motor and auto Torque Converter or a
motorcycle Motor up to 250cc.
Lightweight and structurally stiff, The Taipan can take a pounding, fitting it
with a motorcycle Motor gives it wheel-spinning performance, while an
Industrial Motor gives off the shelf reliability.
The key to The Taipan’s success is that it is simple to build, materials are
readily available, and it gives the performance and toughness the old 250 Honda
Odyssey only dreamed of.
