I'm fairly confident that they never sold these.

I do remember one member posting pictures of a one of a kind snow plow in the distant past but can no longer find the photo or the thread. To the best of my memory it was a DIY project not a commercial product.

To the best of my recollection, it was one of the principals at Segvator who made several attachments for his segway. One was the plow. Another was a tow behind lawn mower. (rotary style)

I never copied the plans for a plow. My driveway is not flat, and with a sloped drive, I did not expect the segway was a good driver for that purpose.

I did make a mower attachment however. It did work. As a matter of fact, I made a cluster of three mowers to pull behind my seg to mow the lawn. No where near as convenient as a lawn tractor, but fun just the same.

With mine, the single mower (18 inches) was fun and I could go as fast as I wanted. The gang of three (about 48 inches because of some overlap) was very heavy, and significantly reduced my speed and ability to maneuver.

With over an acre to mow, I eventually gave up on the project. I did use commercial (heavy) mowers however, and had I used much lighter consumer models, it may have worked better.

I have a 48 inch plow blade from an old lawn tractor, but never appied it to the seg...

Good luck on finding a plow. My suggestion would be to make one.

Years ago, in a science magazine, I saw a German article on an engineer that made a laser bar trimmer for his lawn tractor. He could drive around and vaporize his grass down to a certain height. Very neat. Perfectly even.

Were I to want to move snow with a segway, you may want to consider something more high tech like that, instead of low tech like a curved steel blade to push the viscous water...

Perhaps even a few propane torches, with a small wall of flame to melt as you go...

Again, good luck.
