    I still have the one I has as a kid 37 years ago.
    Just bought a new track - going to get it running next winter.
    Thanks for the video.

    Reminds me of the wet bikes that came out in the late 70s and early 80s, a cross between a motorcycle and a jet ski. They were made by Arctic Cat, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Sea-Doo, and Yamaha. They never really caught on like this little snow bike. I bet if all of these were reintroduced today, they might just sell the hell out of them.

    The one problem with these is there are no "wheels" for the gyroscopic effect, like with a motorcycle, so you have to balance it without that. But it can be done! 😄

    Add a runner to the bottom of the front ski to make it far more managable on harder surfaces, similar to snowmobile skis have. Doesn't need much just enough to grab .

    If they would reproduce this today with the new battery technology it would sell like hot cakes. Just think, no gas, no oil, no smoke, no noise and no pull starts just quiet cruising through a winter wonderland. In the suburbs I don't think people would mind a battery powered Sno Runner because it would be silent and not disturbing the peace and tranquility of neighborhoods. Thanks for taking the time to video and upload this!

    Seems like it operates well enough in 1-3" of snow but bogs down the deeper it gets and slips/slids quite a bit (as you would expect) on packed or icey surfaces.

    If someone had the gumption to design easily convertible track and ski mod on those electric scooters that are everywhere...... I'm from ND they all over my town. Make them profitable all year round and provide a lil excitement and transportation after having a beer or two at the bar. I don't promote drinking and snow scooting but i'm not a pussy either. this amazing Snow Rabbit or the DTV Shredder are the closest things I have found to this fantasy winter scoot but the Shredder is 6K and lil or alot more aggressive for the shenanigans i have in mind and I did not know these exist until moments ago and now desperately want one
