I think they finally designed some that the average person can kind of keep upright, so they got more popular. I just wish they would design one that would go in a straight line, everytime I come across their tracks they are weaving back and forth like they are drunk. In deep snow pulling a sled those deep ruts they cut when they get on the throttle can be a pain when they keep weaving back and forth.

I was wrong the were developed in the 90’s in Canada. Snow Hawk . Back in the 80s I had one of the Chrysler snow runners, think moped with track and single sky, was a fun ride and would go just about anywhere you could walk, used it several years running my trapline mostly for rats through the ice and weasels, sold it for more then I paid for it and regret doing so as it was just so much fun Have thought about one of the snow bikes, there are several different MFGs, heck I even seen one that had a peddle version out as well as electric and gas versions As for running back and forth that’s just the rider as they go straight just fine it’s no different then some snowmobile riders that just can’t stick to the trail and will run doughnuts and cuts and seldom a straight line ï¿½Everything in excess!

I got an antique mini bike I ride on the beach. Got a couple hundred yards of powder to hit the tide line and I have to go in a big curve or get wadded up with sand down your drawers. When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
