Welcome to MBN.

What type buggy are you building?

Four inches headroom with helmet on is good. You must account for seat mounting hardward too and it's best when your knees have some bend to them rather than you legs sticking straight out.

So if your butt is 6 inches off the floor, plus 30 inches plus 2 for helmet and 4 more for head room you have about 42 inches for the cabin. I verified this by measuring my roomy Rorty R82 and it is 41.5 from top of bottom rail to bottom of top rail.

We don't have enough information to answer. What do you plan to do with the car? Sand Dunes? Trails/ Restrictions on trail width?

What part of the country?
