Howstuffworks "How the Hyanide Works"
Although they're all personal methods of transportation, a motorcycle, an ATV and a snowmobile have very distinct functions. If you want to head out on the highway, you'll probably hop on your motorcycle. Motorcycles aren't meant to go off-road, however, so if you want to navigate dirt trails, an ATV or a dirt bike is a good choice. And as its name implies, a snowmobile is perfectly suited to snowy, icy roads and trails. Many people own at least one of these vehicles, but most don't have one of each. Wouldn't it be great if one vehicle could handle all of these separate road conditions without even having to change tires? Enter the Hyanide, a concept vehicle designed to do just that.

Hate to poop on your parade, but that thing is UGLY. :-P
This thing is either going to be sat next to those whirling flying contraption movies that we have all seen, or every kid is going to own one in five years.
The only issue I have with this device, because it does indeed look like a doable device to my untrained eyes, is the whole "special shoes" thing. I can't imagine that will fly, or not for very long. I think it will more likely end up being some type of binding like on snowboards and wakeboards.
Special shoes would be a problem? Are you even vaguely aware of how huge the market for motorcycle specialty wear is? I remember stopping at a reststop whilst on some mid-winter road-trip and seeing motorcyclists there bundled up in what looked like full-body moonboots.
