Looks cool, can't see it working well in deep snow. Good idea though.

That's thinking outside the box... but realistically can't see it working to well except in no snow conditions, better off refining it for the kids to run up and down the alley with it in the summer.

Hey ..... he invented a 30cc quad !!!!

I don't see it being commercially viable, given the restrictions and regulations surrounding powered ohv's .... but cool idea for the backyard inventor.
