Tandem Reverse-Trike Halftrack

A tandem, reverse-trike halftrack built by combining the front end of an ATV with the back end of a snowmobile, replacing the snowmobile skis with wheels so it rides more like a motorcycle. It has extra length for a passenger and a cargo basket, is styled to look like it came out of Mad Max, and is intended for cruising around festivals while running an ad-hoc taxi service as a way of meeting people.

Existing snowmobile ski-to-wheel conversions don't ride like a motorcycle and lack room for a passenger and cargo.
