I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

My son rides his all over my house and in the driveway in nice weather and I have not had any problems with the bike. Have you tried checking the wires to see if there are any disconnected or broken wires?

We live at 9100 ft in Colorado. Temps have gotten down to -18 and we haven't had any issues. It's a great machine really.

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

It's stood up to snow, ice and rain for several months over a 07' HD Softail. Sorry I can't compare size to confirm your bike.

I live in the South, and we don't have a LOT of snow. But we did have some nasty ice storms this year and the SportDog fence held up very well with no problems.

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

Thus far they are far superior to the Dunlops that came on my Honda Fit. The Dunlops were constantly loosing pressure each time the temps dropped. I have yet to drive them through any significant snow however they have had great traction on wet and slushy roads. I'll report back when it winter finally sets in, in Denver. :)

I bike with these gloves when its snowing and freezing outside and they are warm. Ive been impressed with them. I live in pennsylvania where its cold but not the coldest place.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

I use it mt biking and wrapped a rubber strip around the handlebars to fatten it up a bit. It does not move unless I crash. :)

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

I primarily bought the bike for its size. Its handling on trails is good. The tires are sturdy enough for me; I weigh 250lbs. I was never worried about the tires slipping. Replacing the inner tubes is the only think that I don't like about the tires.

I am very happy with the bike, except that I would have preferred handbrakes. However I am getting used to the footbrakes. The bike is heavy. It is probably not possible to make a lightweight bike 'step through'. I recommend it and I would buy it again

My bike is packed away for the winter. It fit perfectly on a Trek 7200 seat.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall �
