Snow Bike

[Mad Doug Biker]

Any ideas on how good it actually is??:

Looking at it, I'd say only for use on hard/compacted snow. Drive from the track might even be worse than that from the rear wheel alone, can't be much wider.
Weight is spread over a larger surface area. Wonder how it handles on corners at speed!

Nice thought, but any uncompacted snow, and all those little wheels and the unrepentant rear derailleur will get full of snow and ice. Might be okay for roads, and trails for snow machines.

Rather have a fat bike and spread the load across low pressure wide tyres.

I think about one of these, now and then, but I'll wait for it to trickle down to the resale level;

K trax........... now defunct. I have two of the rear half track kits which I obtained in 2008. One is in the shed and I've used it on both and snow and sand and it is loads of fun but hard work, and the other is still in its unopened box in the loft.
