Looks rather a challenge to mount an engine on that....definately rule-out friction drive.

Lots of options

I can think of a couple of options. A Cyclone, if they are somewhat water tight. Or Ghost and Pablo's jackshaft. It has a rear disc brake so with of of Andy's sprockets you could also do a HT in the normal fashion or a Straton rackmount.

It was pretty late when Simonator (hope I got his name right) IMed me with a link to a pic of this. My 1st thought it was some mad scientists one off creation. Then I found it was in production! I pull out my wallet then I remembered I was married and all major purchases have to be approved by committee.

no reactions?
no one can see this things potential as an MB?
I commuted in record snow last year, I'd love one.
maybe a pic will help.
keep in mind its not the frame its the tracks and ski only.

Great idea, bet it would be terrific on trails as well.

I'm going to stick with studded tires. They work all winter on all surfaces from ice to packed snow to dry pavement. That ski and track would only work on packed snow.

I doubt I could ever get that to mount onto my Whizzer, but it would be neat to ride a bike equipped with that system.

i would putt that ski on my trike with studded tires , without the full suspension i could mount a motor to that , easy but why not just use a rear tire instead of the tracktor fitting , i would definetly love to ride one just as it is . looks like fun , a motor system like this would work , even some full suspension frames
