Seems vastly inferior to walking. As opposed to an actual bike, you dont have the advantage of the wheel (and reduced friction because of rolling)

You must have missed the use an e-bike part and goes 16-19 mph easily

Unlike a similar kit made by Canadian manufacturer Envo, the S-Trax does not come standard with a motor. This means that if you don't already have an electric mountain bike with a mid-mount motor, you'll be turning the Crawler's track by muscle power alone. If you do have a mid-motor eMTB, though, a pedaling cadence of 60 to 70 rpm should reportedly be sufficient to maintain a speed of 25 to 30 km/h (16 to 19 mph), in a higher gear ratio. Here I posted it so you will be forced to actually read the article partially first.

At that point, just buy a used snowmobile or something, cheaper ones are at that price. There are so many better, more cost effective options.

But when you slip, now you can have a metal bicycle frame crush your legs. Smart.

You should talk to a doctor if a bike frame is turning your bones into powder. I'm actually really curious how your skeleton can support the weight of your own body in that case.
