The electric shovel is/was manufactured by Toro it is about 15" wide and weighs only 10 lbs or so, has a rotating paddle to move the snow. Pulled it out of my shed-o-odd-trinkets last year as it is absoluting terrible at clearing snow on a flat surface, but worked slicker than you know what when working a roof from top to bottom.
One more thing get yourself some general liability insurance (it does not cost much and protects your customers) that way if you take a header off the roof. A tax ID is good also, it does not cost a thing, but makes you a legal beagle. Not saying you have to make a career out of it, but it will show your customers that you have some skin in the game and that you will be around all winter. Heck even offer to clear the decks and other areas of the home as you will be covering them with snow anyway. Honestly you never really know what this could turn into, but it is better to build on a solid foundation than a, um, questionable one.
