Well we got about an inch of snow which is about the minimal amount to runs these things. So I took it out but it would not move me (except downhill) because of the snow fall/weight ratio. So I stood up and hammered the throtttle because I was pissed and the little ******* burt out! :w00t: So I put it at an angle and hammered it and it made a skid all the way around to make a big ol circle! Now once I get the 15 tooth clutch I should be able to pull wheelies :lol:

I have to say that Power Bee made some awesome engines.

:D Took it out today on the paved roads. Put on about 8 miles I suppose and the plows still havent come through yet. It flys oin hard pack, I got clocked at 25mph and I weight like 270lb so thats prety good for that little 134cc motor.

I had to laugh at it earlier becasue I came to a stop and romped on it and the track just spun with me on it. Didnt go NO WHERE. This thing has balls let me tell ya. If I'm going about half throttle and I go ful bore and find a little patch of slick snow that track spins and wants to go out from under me. This thing is funer than cow ****.

Pics soon to come

Nice pics! We have about 4" of snow where I live in Ohio, so I busted my sno-runner out last night and rode it for 1hr before hoping on my 440 Scorpion.

are they hard to balance in the snow or do they just sorta balance themselves?
