Quad bikes are expensive machines that are designed to cope with a wide range of terrains, and are known in some parts of the world as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). But they do not always cope with snow as well as some users would like.
For all those people, at Lakehead University, Ontario, Canada, have developed a pair of skis that can replace the front wheels of an ATV.
They fit onto the same bolts that usually hold the wheels in place. The result is an easier ride over snow and greater control for the driver.
