tread bike- actually shows some steam punk influence IMO but I like it.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

I've been snowmobiling a bit and think this would get stuck in back county snow.  Skis on the front are really needed to keep the machine on top of the snow.  This might work great in a very frozen environment.

I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

You all are bursting my fantasy bubble with details from reality, I was enjoying the quasi- steam punk ish tread bike.

Does anyone know what the impact of the diameter of the back tread wheel/gear is on the rooster tail?

regular snowmobiles have a small diameter tread wheel at the back and yet these other designs clearly have a larger diameter wheel. I'm thinking that it kicks a rooster tail of snow even higher.
