Winch for Urban...for very cheap

[MACAQUE]

Everyone likes urban and backyard setups, but a lot of places don't have a run in, and building a solid ramp for a backyard setup can be time consuming. I know the banshee bungee was a big hit, but not nearly as effective as a gas-powered winch. What if I told you guys that I could sell you winches for under $300, that will work great for urban and backyard setups?

I have an idea for a product, but I just want to get a feel for community interest before I start designing it. Let me know if you guys would be interested in something like this!

Thanks and have a good summer

Winches usually cost 1500 or more. If you can make one for 300 then I bet getting customers will be the least of your worries.

If you can make this work and for $300 dollars i think it will be good for the ski community because competition will have to lower but you will still gain a solid customer base

 

[MACAQUE]

There is one catch though: it requires a car.

 

[CRENSZN]

Yeah...lets hear it?

 

[JohnLocke]

For $300 you better be expecting a flood of product quality related questions

 

[E_Z_STEEZ]

[kook.lyfe]

those are gas powered though.. I bet what he's thinking is taking something like this for 100 bucks:

and putting a spool of rope on the end.

As in, you make the car do all the work? Or you need the car to jump start it or something, or transport it...

stop teasing us dammit

any drawings?

I made one for 15$ with chopsticks, rubber bands, a loofa, a hamster wheel, and elmers glue. I'll sell it for 20$, anyone interested?

 

[N.L.]

if you rig up the right size pullies, high speed motor, you can make an electric one for home use that would be very inexpensive.

some lil kid is gonna bust out rocket skis sooner than later...
