How would this work on an aggregate driveway?

Well it depends on how smooth it is. If the stones don't stick up too much and the surface isn't too rough it would probably be fine. It does however run best on smooth asphalt or concrete.

If your talking about a loose gravel driveway (or any loose gravel surface), it won't work. It would drive straight but wouldn't spin, which is what makes it so fun. Because the rear wheels are caster style wheels, when the ride turns hard to the left or right, the Powerrider will whip around (but not severely because of the top speed) which is what kids love about this ride, so if it can't spin because of the loose gravel, it won't be as fun as riding on a smooth, hard surface.

I have a small cement driveway and cement sidewalk. It worked great unless you hit an uneven patch...but thats just my ground issue. Last year we had a horrible winter in the tri state area, and this was a god send especially when we had a large amount fall overnight.

Hi,It weighs about 5 lbs. and can be used on a cement driveway. However, it only works well on snowfall of 2" or less. Any more than that and you will struggle. I've bought 2 of these (wore one out). Other family members have also bought them.

This shovel works great for driveways. It is easy to use and a real back saver. I'd recommend checking videos online where you can see it in action.

Firstly, I love this machine. Bailed me out of many feet of both wet and light snow. Yes it propels itself as the rubber blade rotates and, in making contact with the concrete, pulls the machine forward. Good for blacktop and concrete, NOT for gravel as the height is not adjustable. It's meant to be propelled by the blade contacting the ground and gravel would chew the mechanism up and spit the rocks out. Hope it helps.

sorry but i have only used this on my driveway and can tell you this, it just disappears.

I would think so, my driveway isn't gravel, but it's in pretty rough shape and uneven in a lot of places. Having lived at places with gravel drives, as long as it's fairly level I wouldn't see it being a huge issue. Throwing a rock could break the plastic snow chute in cold temps, though.

I have three of these for my landscaping business and they work very well. I use one on my cement driveway and it works awesome. I would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, we have a dirt driveway and this works well. The area we keep clear is too large to manage with a snow shovel, but with this device we don't have to hire a snowplow, or walk around freezing breathing fumes from a snowblower...

It should work there as well as driveway. The viscosity allows ready flow so it should fill a horizontal crack as well as a vertical. It is really solid when it dries.

It works best when staked in grass but you can use it in the driveway. It may move around and need adjustments more frequently but it can be used in a driveway.

No different than cement driveways....I would sweep any pebble debris away first before use. If your driveway is sloped...this thing flies...

I have a gravel driveway and I just tilt it a little so it doesn't remove the snow all the way down to the gravel. Otherwise it will throw the gravel, which does happen once in a while.

I only used it once on the sidewalks. My dog passed away. I still have it I received two small dogs so I will see how it works on our dirt roads now.

It can't be lifted because it's too heavy, but it is relatively easy to use. Occasionally I run it off the driveway and I'm tempted to muscle it back on, but it really will pull itself back back up when operating correctly. It is self propelled and is best for longer run driveways where you don't have to do a lot of turning. We got it because we have a long, steep driveway and the trax help alot with that. A flat driveway would probably be fine with wheels. I'm over 60 but I'm physically fit.

Yes I did set it up upon a driveway, just use some kind of weight to hold it down,

Keep a sliding channel clear in the mound beside the driveway, on the downhill side if there is one. This works well on flat roofs too. This moves a lot of snow at once and you never have to pick the snow up. My old one just broke yesterday after many years, I am ordering a new one today.
