Pretty cool. I'll take one too. I bet you could make one very similar using an old (BIG) rotto tiller. Blades removed of course.
Many of my toys I really don't have a use for either, Mike. But if it's cool, buy it. This thing is wild! I'd love to have one too, but I'd be worried about the longevity of the batteries. When I was a little kid I would play with RC cars in the snow and the cold would deplete the battery very quickly. I remember some old snowmobile (I can't recall the exact name though) from the 1950's that was set up just like this machine and I bet that's what they based it on.
"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"
Looks like a spin off of the roto-tillers pulling carts in 3rd world countries. Based on my experience in Europe, cold weather and rechargeable, high discharge equipment, don't have a great deal of operational life.
Hey everyone, does anyone know how much these machines are going for?. This machine would be ideal for me and I would be able to carry my wheelchair right behind me and not have to make a special bracket to put my wheelchair on. I Could unfold my chair and get right on it or off of it. It would be ideal for me to get to my hunting blind or out on the ice for a day of ice fishing where can I purchase one??? If anyone knows please drop me a message.
Thanks
