I don't think there's near enough traction in a three-wheeler to wheelie... massive smokey burnouts though, yup!
Weather Where You Are

84 degrees right now. It’s hot!
Even with a Hayabusa motor in it....?? Maybe not,
Maybe until that tire heats up enough to gain traction.

I think it would just spin, and be hard to get enough traction to wheelie.
It would be a fun drift machine...until it chucks me off, lol

I see you couldn't resist the Bumblebee color theme! The good news is that it saves the back from excessive strain. I pinched a nerve in my back at the age of 11 while shoveling snow in Minnesota. As a kid I also got to clear the ice from fresh snow at the skating rink with a shovel about 4 feet wide and using it like a snow plow.
Of course I have a yellow blower, and a yellow garden tractor...
I generally shovel the snow to each side of the driveway and then blow it from there.
This thing has heated grips and power steering...

Come on man! Heated grips? Maybe... power steering? GMAFB!
I just love it when the motor is lugging slightly under a full load and the dry snow is getting launched into the sunshine!
Even my Cub Cadet garden tractor has electric power steering...I can navigate around the lawn with one finger.
I rarely use the power steering or heated grips on the blower though.

Seems to me the world of engineered steering systems has gone to the extreme and now caters to the weakest among us. Who needs power steering to steer a snow blower? Do any motorcycles have power steering?
Pics?
Remember, yesterday at this time we had green grass and it's 37'F out right now so this snow is supersaturated with water. If it was cold and fluffy, it'd be well over a foot deep.
This stuff will be a bear to shovel this morning.

that could do some nasty damage if someone fell in front of that
It sure blows snow.....even the wet, heavy stuff goes about 20 feet.that could do some nasty damage if someone fell in front of that

Have you ever cleared the ice piles left by the city plow? Steering snowblowers, performing U-turns, powering through dense piles and such puts significant torque on the back. It is truly bad for the health, a person's strength notwithstanding.
The sport bike is designed to steer with very little effort. I agree that there is no need there.
Methinks that power steering was custom made for the snowthrower, a long-needed improvement.
They pretty much all have it now....

In my mind I was reflecting back on all of the years that they did not have it, all of the pain, the suffering...
I remember the days of not having one, we had a steel snow scoop and lots of work every time it snowed...
Even without steering it sure was handy to have one....
The one I have now is an HD (heavy duty, not Harley Davidson) so it is pretty heavy, the steering comes in handy.
