i know you are just kidding, but i would not want to ride that on the roads when the likelyhood of ice is high.  also, with only one drive wheel (im assuming the rear wheel is the drive wheel like on a motorcycle) your traction would be really bad i think even with chains.

id like to try one out in the summer though

When I watched the video and the driver was doing some burnouts it appeared to be front wheel drive and accelerated quit nicely and controlabelly from the stop sign. :)

Looks like it could double for a snow mobile,4 wheeler and the transportation to get You to Your favorite pond,If You dress warm enough.
I`d even bet it would have enough power to pull a trailer{1000CC V twin}even if You loaded the trailer with all Your favorite icefishin gear. ;D

I drove one last summer at a demo day. The local atv, snowmobile dealer had several to show. It was kinda strange on the corners. Made you feel like you needed to lean into it more than a bike. Plenty of engine and very smooth. It felt pretty stable, low center of gravity, but I'd be concerned in a quick stop where the wheels were turned. Seemed like it would flip.
