Most of us guys (and girls) are akin to "Tim the Tool Man" and love to operate a powerful machine. A few times each year, people in Maryland are taught how to operate a "Zamboni."

Here is an article from the Washington Post on this:

You maybe asked to register (free to do so), in order to read it. It's a great article and well worth your time.

Enjoy! :D

Yes, it has a 78hp Hyundai engine, but I would like to know the top speed and stuff like that.

I would say use "Google", but I imagine it's going to be pretty low, since the engine's main function is operating all the attachments, in addition to propelling the body!

Google answer: 9-11 MPH and NO brakes!!

It would be a blast to drive it down A1A and then watch the morning commute.
