lol, an O&R engine also known as "chicken power" they were ok, they had a knurled metal wheel which wasn't bad actually, or you could make a custom wheel & for "spikes" use a MIG welder & just do spiral rows of spot welds, the spot welds will grab great on the tire.
the aquabug? I think is correct name, used a plastic roller, like old walk behind front wheel power propelled mowers, they wore bad in middle, had to replace roller & slipped on hills on dry pavement.
I still have 1 of each of those, plus a few others, not for sale!
