They have these little pannier like things so you can haul stuff in addition to what you put in your back pack.
She seemed to do ok on the slushy ice we had, a little slower then me on my bike but I have more experience. My bike tires might have cut through the slush better but her fat tires probably did better on the ice patches. I guessed that with the gyroscopes the seqway knows when the tire slips but not when it slides sideways. That seemed to be what happened to her.
