Do we have any enthusiasts who are planning to ride their Grom through the fall and winter, snow and rain? If you get heated gloves and a heated vest it would definitely be possible. Would you also need to change the tires to drive on ice/snow? I guess it also matters where you are living...
Grom riding in the fall and winter, snow and rain

Whats the coldest it gets in the winter? It's crazy that even at the coldest temperatures you get there you can still ride. I guess that is what happens when you live somewhere where it never snows.
Yeah riding is not one of those things you want to do in extreme weather, at least with me it's like that, conditions need to be ideal. After all what good is riding if you won't enjoy it.

I've ridden in the snow before. Sure, it wasn't the smartest idea, nor the most fun, or at all the safest, but I did it. I rode in the rain a LOT, and actually enjoyed it. Do I encourage everyone to? Absolutely not. Would I do it on a Grom? Depends on the tires.

I'll ride in the cold and in the rain if it sneaks up on me but ill pass on snow. Although the thought of studded knobbies did cross my mind

12" wheels with shitty scooter tires? no thank you. maybe if i get a separate set of rain tires (yes they make them)
The nsr sucks enough in the rain that i know i will never go gromming in it (well, maybe if i get caught out).

i doubt the grom has enough juice to run my 90w firstgear liner...
Well it looks pretty fun in that video. Maybe I'll consider it now. Do you think I can get a woman to do the singing thing in the background while I Grom around her in the snow?

I intend to ride mine year round.
I don't understand where your question came from. Do you ask car drivers if they are going to stop driving once winter hits? Nope. So why would you ask that about a motorcycle? It's a darn vehicle isn't it?

mostly because many of my friends switch to snowmobiles for fun and studded snow tires on their cars for commuting by mid December...
