You may remember this 1-track oddity from a previous post. I didn’t know they were pitching this as a snowmobile replacement… Anyway, take a gander of the popular science piece:
Your Very Own Personal Tank – Popular Science: “You may not have room in your garage (or budget) for a dirt bike and a snowmobile and a four-wheeler. But what if one vehicle could take the place of all three? That’s the idea behind the Hyanide, a wild concept vehicle created by German designers Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz for the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design. This year’s competition showcased vehicles made especially for California’s diverse and often rugged topography… The Hyanide currently exists only as a one-fifth-scale model, and Schlootz and Keller have no plans to bring a production version to market. Keep your fingers crossed, though—Hyanide’s unique drivetrain impressed a lot of automotive-industry heavy hitters at the Challenge Design. Maybe one of them has an overcrowded garage.”

THAT is a great solution to our Reno winters when the scoot is on the sidelines. How about a conversion kit for the Zuma?
