Just dug the big one out and got it running (needs a bath)..... First time to get them side by side for a comparison. Little one needs a back bumper and maybe a better looking tail light.

Something about the size of a sq side marker light would do it IMO.

I don't know, maybe a fake fur tail installed right above the round taillight.

They have Mx helmets.... That said, they don't wear helmets when riding their Barbie Jeeps... Not too concerned about an 8mph snowmobile ride in the yard.

8 mph sounds harmless enough...carry on!! But when one of ‘em starts hot rodding it watch out...

I've never seen or heard of these mini snowmobiles before.

In 1981 while in college a friend I worked with got a Chrysler Sno-Runner from his deadbeat dad that won it.

We both had a difficult time trying to keep that thing up, I thought it was a poor design.

The Kitty Cat looks way safer.[/QUOTE]

Reminds me of the Heathkit mini bike that you could put a ski attachment over the front tire. I wanted one of those so bad... I guess they're a vintage thing now...

When I was about 11 or 12, I strapped a plastic k-tel fun ski to the front tire of my Honda Z50 and wrapped some wire around the front brake lever..... It did not work out too well, but I did not have access to much in the way of tools back then.

Even though it was single digit temps and high winds, the kids rode their new toy... The 5 year old took to it well while the 3 year old needed someone running beside her.
