Very cool, and simple.

just a large 3 wheeler frame with a car bolted/strapped to it. Seems that the ski is a weak point. The rear suspension has got to be strong so as not to have any flex between the car suspension, and the three wheelers suspension. Chain alignment is critical.....

I wonder what the gear ratios are?

Rear sprocket is large, but is it large enough, He seemed to need a lot of speed to get up that hill, and as he got to the top they cut away. Maybe the tires spin at the top?

Shame to lose the use of the rear doors.

I'd think a Quad style frame would handle the rough stuff a little better.

Genius! I love it, and hope he's working on an amphibian version, I sign on dotted line like loyal comrade.

Okay: Maybe the sprockets and chain should be more heavy duty? Also not sure how long the drivetrain will last if he gets stuck... Still, minor points, the guy deserves respect and free vodka for life.

it's a crude attempt, but a valid study... not a bad idea, honestly.

Agreed. It's the home basement version. Now Bombadier will buy him out for hopefully a very fair large price, and he's off to the (snow) races
