The SnoxCycle is a kit to turn a standard dirtbike into a very non-standard snowbike. Essentially it swaps the front tire out for a ski and the rear tire out for a track. That gives you better traction and control in the snow and only adds 24 pounds to the bike (net). It's sort of like the motorcycle equivalent to Mattracks.
I can't say that it is a great idea, but it is interesting and well engineered one. The real issue is the price: almost $3000. I haven't price snowmobiles, but I'm betting that is a hefty hunk of change towards one. I bet the snoxcycle hybrid won't best a dedicated vehicle either.
