I run mine in the snow, it spins a lot now with clone engine because of the power but it goes better. Stock you have it on floor all the time. If you are packed trail its fine but in open snow not so much. When it gets up to axle you can hardly go it just spins a lot depending on how much power you have. The tires need to go down to the ground and when snow is heavy enough it cant, then it does not go well at all. In lighter snow it goes fine say 4 inches or less, or a on a packed trail though it still spins. You almost need paddle tires, I have big knobby tires and they spin a lot while they do not spin much in sand or dirt. I can post a video. It is a bunch of fun until you get buried. And its really cold because I have no windshield.

Apparently it can and is fine in the snow. Just be careful of sliding around and like sho305 said don’t get stuck. You might want big off road mud type tires too or put chains around them also

When I ride in the snow I am sideways most of the time, and the front tires don't steer like normal they kind of like to go more straight than turn. Its a lot of fun. If I go slower it will act more normal but what is the fun in that lol. Just slow down around big trees/etc in case it keeps on sliding. I have slid into bushes here a lot of times. Some gloves do not grip the wheel that well either and you can't steer as quick.

This is how we deal with snow and ice in the winter. It is hilly at our place and we would not go far without chains in the winter.

Run mine all year it is a tank i live in western ny so my cart has seen a lot of snow thinking about making some make shift skies for the front? Ha steering is a little difficult

I have a set of chains for the rear wheels that are "double" the cross chains that I use on the front. The chains have "spike" chain that are across the tread. Don't drive this setup on any concrete or pavement that you don't want marred. This works well in snow and ice.....but as posted above, when the snow can pack under the cart....your not going anywhere.

Pretty pricey -- cool but way above my pay grade.

Lol yeah a golf cart with that would look ridiculous but I'm sure effective in snow
