Thinking of buying a Sled Kit

[1cyl]

I'm hoping we get some snow shoon so i can justify ordering one of these bessies for my SMC.

But i was wondering, just incase we dont, do you think it might work alright on mud/sand? And if i left my front wheel on, do you recon it will prob be alright to use it on tarmac until i get the enduro forks for the ski? I'd ride slow and i'm not expecting to get my knee down obviously, and i'm sure it might be a bit noisey, but just incase it doesnt snow i'd want to be able to justify the purchase. And lastly, any ideas about any tax, insurance and legal issues i might be faced with? Will it pass MOT? Surely its 's no different than any other tracked road vehicle? (Tank/Cat Tractor etc.)

Can't wait......

Kidding.
Seriously tho, these are fucking cool, and i'd love to have a go, can anyone share any snow experience on one? Is it as fun as it looks? I imagine its a bit more tricky to stay upright without the aid of gyro forces?

Would expect a road to tear the belt to pieces within a matter of seconds.

Would probably overheat/grind apart on sand.

Wait for the snow.

The belt pictured looks way too aggressive for the road to me.

They are used for bits on sand, but not for extended periods - I'd suggest, much better just to get a sand tyres and swap it over when the snow comes .
