The 4WD Nitro Dirtthingz
The Nitro Dirtthingz is a 4 wheel drive motorized board.
The Nitro Dirththingz has a 80cc motor, and is capable of going up to 35 mph.
When compared to other motorized mountainboards, the Dirtthingz is definitely in the upper division when it comes to speed and power.
35 mph may not feel very fast in the car, but on a board, 35 mph would be more than fast enough for any rider.
The Dirtthingz has humongous 11 inch balloon tires and is capable of ripping up all sorts of terrains.
The board uses step-in snowboard bindings to secure the rider to the board.
Check out the video below of the Nitro Dirtthingz in action.
What do you think about the Nitro Dirtthingz?
looks hard to handle… I’m thinking that the board is too short to control at higher speeds, although if they did make it longer it would be a heck of a lot heavier.
The 4wd nitro dirtthingz board has been discontinued 7 years ago. They only made 50 or so and they where retailing at 5, 000 US Dollars.
I’m in the process of improving on this outdated technology by providing a longer board that offers more stability. The all new “all-terrain nitro 4wd boardboard ” offers a 90cc Nitro engine and can be used on all terrains. You will be able to use the board on gravel, loose sand, mud and even on snow. It will be able to climb up and over a 90 degree obstackle with ease. The proto type has been build. The top speed of 55km/h have been reached.
I’m designing this board in my sparetime and will come up with a suitable name & website shortly.
Interested parties are welcome to e-mail me at martin@f3tents.co.za
I’d love to know when it is released!
The board is scheduled for production is early 2009. Currently we are negotiating dealer distribution points worldwide, with companies that is involved in motorized adventure sports, that will be able to handle all the maintenance and servicing of these units. Will keep you informed on developments throughout 2008.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your enquiry and interest shown in our product. Can you please indicate whether you have operational workshops throughout the USA as we don’t want to offer our product without back-up?
PROFILE
A significant amount has been spent already on prototype development, and intellectual property protection. We believe that we have a product that can establish a new vehicle class and the surrounding industries.
THE MARKET
Focused primarily on the off-road market extreme sport market, sees the growth in the ATV market as proof of the latent demand for the product. This year there will be 140,000 Personal Water Craft, 220,000 Snowmobiles, and 1.1 million ATVs sold worldwide. Not to mention 1.5 million Snowboards, 3 million off-road motorbikes, and who knows how many surfboards, skateboards and wakeboards.
We see an opportunity to be a whole new sector. Something that people look back on in 10 years and can’t believe there was a time where you couldn’t buy one.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
We see major opportunities through the existing off-road channel, primarily ATV. These people are skilled, well versed in the intricacies of the laws and safety regulations, and have a lot of existing customers that will buy our board AS WELL AS their ATV, and some instead of it. There will be some market via snowmobile sales and hire business, and the rental hire business of all kinds (snowmobile and ATV) will be very important to the early sales growth. Few people will buy before they try … once there are a few out there, this becomes less of an issue, however we believe there will be a long term viable business in hire / rental.
