Unnamed project

A tandem, reverse-trike halftrack the builder is constructing from the front end of an ATV and the back end of a snowmobile, replacing the skis with wheels. It is designed to ride more like a motorcycle, with extra length for a passenger and a cargo basket, and to end up looking like it came out of Mad Max. The builder plans to cruise around at festivals running an ad-hoc taxi service as a way of meeting people and striking up conversations.

Last shared For Festival attendees, who the builder plans to taxi around as a way of meeting people and striking up conversations.
01 / The problem

What it addresses

Existing conversions that replace snowmobile skis with wheels are not novel; the builder wanted a variant that rides more like a motorcycle and has extra length for a passenger and a cargo basket.
