Nope,went through everything i put it threw,found that for steep hills it preferred 2nd gear instead of 1st as it was just a bit to low ,went through shallow part of lake no problem.

My new one would be shite with its 20 inch wheels and low profile rubber,reckon it'll struggle with the tin tent on a grass site tbh :-\,its nice on the road though where it spends most of its time.
