Need somebody more clever than I to build a snowmobile attachment

[Dochands]

Steel frame you ride up on. Lock the front wheels in which attach to snowmobile suspension and skis to steer.

Rear wheel sits on a dynomo type setup to power the rear track mechanism.

If I had an old snowmobile and could weld and could engineer (lol) I'd build this.

I can weld and engineer, but we'll use your Spyder. And, don't forget a snowplow!

If you had that old snowmobile, you wouldn't need to convert it...LOL

 

[Dochands]

Old busted snowmobile I meant. LOL

I did something similar with a 83 Big Red, Bolted a snowmobile ski to the front wheel, Put chains on the rear tires.
It worked if the snow was less than 4 inches, Any deeper and the trike would chaises up and just sit there spinning it's wheels.
Not enough flotation.:shocked:

New Track System

We need BRP to develop a track system for the spyder like they have for their can-am atv. The track system BRP uses for their atv is called apache wide track system.:yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

They've already got a pretty good track system...
