Battery Powered Track All Terrain Vehicle

This is an old idea, traditionally combustion engine driven, that someone turned electric. Move along, nothing to see here. (have a look for Track-Packs and the Ruff (circa 1942). Russia had the Itlan and the Technomaster.)

Can you provide some URLs?
(Google is not great at looking for old stuff)

I always like seeing pics & diagrams of old-but-innovative tech.

Sure. There are some in here:

... and about 7/8's of the way down this page:

We had similar units in Canada in the 60's (with , not quite as speedy as the electric jobby shown here) with I believe (not 100%) some of the early Kohler or perhaps OMC single cylinder gas engines. One could stand on a small foot board that was skidded along behind, steering with two large handles (like a roto tiller), and then behind that there was a sled with high enough walls that you could haul firewood, straw bales, sacks of whatever without them spilling out. They were geared rather high, so not a lot of speed but that's what was required to keep the torque up on these 2 strokes.

Hope this helps a bit.
