I just realised that I have never seen any similar product on the road in any EU country....so what is the betting that the 'dratsabs' have made them illegal for use on EU roads. I would buy them for Polands winters.

I did a bit of googling and they are still in development phase. They seem like a "light" version (less floatation on soft snow, much easier to install) of the Mattracks.
My only hope is the price will be "light" too because the Mattracks are far from cheap...

They look so simple????? that I,m willing to bet that anyone with a modicum of fabrication skills could knock some up from Aluminium/steel.......it is the idea of how to power the tracks that is the innovation. Still willing to bet that they will be illegal on EU roads.
