The DTV Shredder is a crazy contraption which has been
designed and built by the young Canadian company BPG Werks.
The DTV Shredder is basically a tracked skateboard which
is powered by a small 15hp 4-stroke Honda go-kart engine.
But with a weight of just 85 lbs (38 kgs) the engine is
more than capable of making the DTV Shredder perform stunts,
jumps and tricks. It can even tow a car!
Top speed of the DTV Shredder is a scary 30mph, and if
it wasn't for the sturdy carbon-fiber handlebar - fitted
to the later prototypes - then staying on would be next
to impossible. The handlebar also houses the throttle
control and cutoff switch. To make the DTV Shredder easier
to transport, the handle folds down to allow it to fit
in the back of a car.
The DTV Shredder features 3" of suspension travel,
a four foot turning circle, and can climb a slope of 40
degrees. BPG Werks have also developed an unmanned remote
control version which could be used for various military
applications.
Currently BPG Werks is accepting down payments for the
DTV Shredder - with deliveries starting in the near future.
