Popular in the US too. Basically a snow mobile on wheels.

There's a chap got one along the A46T somewhere on the Worcs/Glos border judging by the regularity with which I see it....including yesterday afternoon. 

It does look the part......

The RS doesn't look too bad but that RT from the front is ugly.

Looks like it.

The videos on the website don't give much away (all arty straight line shots), does the thing still lean into corners like a real bike?

Do the DVLA class those things as bikes or trikes?  Is it covered by a post 1990(?) bike license or is a car license required as with a standard trike?
