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.

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.

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.
