In the SNOW.
Not a buddy, but there is a cabo in there (we own both). The quasi knobbie tire DID allow us to move in the snow, not great, but we did go anywhere we wanted.

I have never used them, but the general internet buzz on thems is generally positive. They are pricey though!

This is the most aggressive tire I've seen in a scooter size. It will fit a Zuma and Ruckus. Grippy as hell, Killls your speed on dry pavement.

Chains?
Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever tried using tire chains on their scooters? Are such things even available? My great grandfather used to ride his Harley all year long using them. Of course that was a LONG time ago!

Snow
My experience with sidecars is extremely limited, mainly consisting of 5 minutes of sheer terror as I tried to ride a friends rig a couple of times around the block. I am sure that experienced sidecar pilots would do fine in the snow, but I would rather stick with two wheels, thank you!
I rarely ride in the snow for fun anymore, but over the years I have found myself forced to do so by circumstances. I have done ok, but I agree that it is hardly ideal! I disagree about the ice being inevitable, though, as when riding in fresh snow in colder climates I have rarely encountered ice. Riding on packed, glazed, and remelted snow is a whole lot sketchier!

A Ural with 2 wheel drive and the right tires is great in the snow or whatever. The only way to start riding a sidecar rig is to take your time and gradually increase your speed with a good load of ballast in the hack. I'm at 20,000 km now and still consider myself a rank beginner.

The roughhouse does ok in the snow. Not as well as the symba did, but it’s manageable. I will say the 70cc kit did not make it more winter friendly though, the power builds up quite abruptly, and then it’s sideways. Not bad sideways, not really good sideways, just kinda keep your feet ready sideways.
