I was walking down a trail today and was sliding around a bit as I didn't have cleats or snowshoes on. Then I though what if I had an electric snow scooter I could throw in the back of the Jeep?

Anyone every seen one of these?

I accidentally saw a video of the Widescape WS250... I'm certain one would solve winter dog walking for me...

Looks pretty cool and fun. I haven't seen those before. My first concern is minor but is still somewhat of an issue for me: the battery size versus the "fast" charging

[Hearth.com] Electric snow Scooter

The battery is effectively 1,216 wh. And "fast" charge is 4 hours? That means it charges at 300w max.

I have battery stations of 2,048wh that charge in 80 minutes. Even without charging at fastest speed, at 600w the 2,048 battery station would still only take 3.4 hours.

The biggest concern for me is that they say the battery is Lithium. It may be Lifpo4, but with the charge time I'm thinking it may be older, less safe tech.
