Bajaj 3 Wheel Trucks Kick Butt in the Snow

I rode this home in 3 inches of snow, and back to work in ice and snow.
Someone posted a picture of me on facebook that someone in my friend's list recognized as me.
So, I got a pretty rockin' picture of me driving the 3 wheel truck in ice and snow.
It was really hard to see through the ice without a defroster.
I'm considering picking up a Rough house for winter riding conditions.
How is riding in the ice and snow going for everyone else?

non-existent. If there's a lot of ice, I don't ride. I've tried, but it's not like a car where you just get grippier tires. You'll go down instantly. 3 wheels would obviously change the physics.
Even if it didn't, the way OTHER people drive make it a stupid idea.

You have to have a genuine death wish to ride a two-wheeler in ice and snow IMO. A trike or side car bike is a whole different discussion, of course. I have ridden a Ural with sidecar in snow and that is a lot of fun.

The only ice I see is what I put into my liquid refreshments. What's snow?

Nice to see you out!
Two wheels is possible, but you better have a lot of dirt bike experience. I had my daughters Cabo 150 out in the snow this morning. Its sketchy on two wheels when it's slick. It needs a more aggressive tire on the rear to get the job done. I was managing 20-30 MPH on the back roads, BUT don't like to go out where there is traffic due to the other cars. It just leaves very little room for error.
If you want to do it. Knobby tires and no front brake. The 10" tires that Shinko sells with the knobs for the zuma work pretty well in the snow
