Here's installing wheels ..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yggp0ytmXw&t ...... two 5" wheels on the front of an Ego 21" battery powered snowblower.

Heath's Hardware in Center Harbor has Ego battery snowblowers, single stage and two stage as well as Ariens gasoline snowblowers. Gasoline has more power than the electric battery snowblowers no matter what anybody says except gasoline with ethanol can congeal and gum up the carburetor.

For a not-too-smooth asphalt or a dirt and gravel driveway, this seems like it is doable, and could work good for either a gasoline or electric single stage snowblower.

Check out the comments where some commenters have added two adjustable skids instead of two wheels which is a little different.
I have not seen a 2 stage snowblower without adjustable skids or wheels. For gravel etc, a piece of schedule 80 pipe with a groove cut into it will slide over the cutting edge.
