They are pretty cool vehicles... not golf carts but electric side by sides. Full time 4 wheel drive with studs can handle ice, I wonder if they can be fitted with tracks, LOL! The battery charges during driving so you don't have to worry about a dead battery but I would talk to them to make sure the type of battery they use is good in sub freezing temps. It might not be. It would be good in some locations but in others even an engine driven quad wouldn't be the right choice. I guess it depends on the types of winter you experience. In some places only a snowmobile will do, in others a quad is good enough. Don't know if an electric powered quad is a good choice for winter sports. Best to send them an email and ask.
