I thought about doing the same thing with the electric 4 wheeler my room mates son used to ride. He could follow me through the woods as long as he stayed in the middle of the trail. Like you said plenty of power but no traction to speek of. He rode it as hard as he possibly could until it stripped the gears in both gearboxes. I replaced them both and it lasted maybe another 6 months before doing it again. That's the only real problem I can see with studding the tires. If they don't slip the next weakest link will go and that'l be the gearing. Cost wise to replace both of them at the time was around $50, but that also included both drive motors because it all cam as an assembly. Not a bad deal considering a whole bike was in the $200 range. When the second set stripped he was about 2 months from his fifth birthday so he got moved up to a 50cc gas job. That was nearly 5 years ago and as of last Christmas, his 9th birthday, he's now riding a '86 model 70cc Honda Fourtrax and he can just about ride circles around me. Meanwhile the old electric job has been passed down to my neice and had another set of gearboxes and a new battery put in it and is still going strong.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
