If you find one besides the Mototrack, please post the results. I am
looking for something like that also. The mototrack is the only one I
know about that is currently made. There are some old plans on how to
build your own but I have long since lost the location.

I have talked to several folks that used the Mototrack and they all had
good things to say about it with no mention of unreliability or burnouts.
