Re: Very heavy snow in Hampshire

I don't have my one on the roads at present. When I did it was excellent at traveling up hills in the Dublin mountains even on sheet ice.

At the time I felt it was the gearbox electronics that were doing the smart apportioning of the torque and grip. The usual caution and care is needed going down hill, particularly. Once a certain amount of momentum is gathered [if grip is lost] then the Laws of Physics come back with a crunch.
