If I ever move far enough north, I'll be extremely tempted by some form of this.

Hmm. I could use that…

Definitely the great white north up here 🇨🇦.

I'm looking at it and wondering how they manage pitch stabilization for the ski (that is, keep it from tucking under if it hits a vertical snowbank -- think "tall curb"). The up-swept nose should do it, but... I'd want a leaf spring or something to hold it in a neutral position, if I were engineering it. Apparently it works though, so maybe I'm just overthinking things.

I like the goggles on the headlight. I'd rather have an ice rig though.

This makes me cold and tired just looking at it. I can't imagine summoning enough energy to go out in the freezing cold and ride on ice with spiked wheels. I know people do it, and I know they think it's fun, but I don't think I'm cut out for it.

But you have to admit that it looks pretty good 🤗

This looks completely exceptional. A sporty attractive Vespa for the winter season. Can we say this December Vespa? It works like the normal Vespa or not? It better works to clean my lawn and balcony in ice falling.

After living in the desert for over 20 years, cold makes me want to curl up to a warm fireplace in my fluffy hibernation clothes, with a good book, and a hot beverage. That said, put me in proper heated snowmobile gear and I'd give 'er a go! Razz emoticon

Have to say it's a great look and I'd love to put it through it's paces.

I love winter riding though in my case prefer 3 wheels. The C650 I actually rode home after I took this pic and it was not that far but far enough to be the most white knuckle (read: stupid) ride of my life. The Ural with winter tires handles the snow with no problem and honestly is a blast.
