Looks like there's room for improvement for sure. This seems like a great application for an xtracycle's longer wheelbase. What fun, though!

I suppose you could just use the half-track in back and a wide rim in front with some high volume tire. I saw a fully tracked motorcycle once, which had a flexible track that went over 2 wheels and multiple rollers, so it could steer somewhat conventionally. I don't know if it was just a concept, though, or if it was produced.

It is quite a contraption. I'd love to get to do some extended testing!

It's too cold if you walk outside and it hurts to breathe.
