Electric Golf Buggy Pimped Into Snow Moving ‘Snowpig’

Determined not be snowed in during the harsh Canadian winter, eco-eccentric Dan baker has pimped his golf cart into an emission free, fully enclosed, electric snow blowing machine. The oddly-named ‘Snowpig’ is as far as we are aware, the only one of its kind. Since ‘Snowpig’ is 100% electric, it is far more environmentally friendly than the standard trucks normally contracted to clear Canadian roads. These would normally guzzle up to 3 gallons of gasoline per snow-moving expedition.

‘Snowpig’ came into existence after $2399 financial input and 30 hours of hard work by Baker. Over this time, he installed a lift kit, a heated cab enclosure (with an electric coffee mug warmer), lights and electric mechanisms. He even used a mobile phone app to add truck engine sounds – an element lacking in electric vehicles. Already this year, Baker has used ‘Snowpig’ to clear five snowfalls in his locality. He has also used it to sand the road twice, when it got icy.
