This winter, you could enjoy the recreational abilities that snow offers just like every other snow-going individual. Or, you could do one, possibly two better and go “all out”. Leave mere snowboarding to commoners. You deserve so much better. Introducing, the gas-powered snowboard.
A 6-1/2 horsepower motor, 250lb. weight capacity, 18mph top speed, and two hours of runtime on a 3/4-gallon tank mean “fun” has a new meaning. To be honest though, the 18mph top speed is pretty slow all things considered. The human body can hit 2x-3x times that on a decent slope. I see the gas-powered snowboard as move of a transportation device between slopes more than the only way of getting down a hill. Of course, this thing would rock for going back up…
Oh yeah, there’s a small sticking point — it costs $2,500
Falling into an ever spiraling wave of boredom can only lead to a few outcomes. (1) you can get creative and invent something, (2) read a book, or (3), get into trouble. Unfortunately for myself, option three happens all too often. Perhaps that’s what the individuals in the video below were facing when they decided to take a laptop and turn it into a snowboard. For an old laptop that is either beyond repair or simply not worth repairing, the snowboard option is a rather noble afterlife the way I see it. Better than living in a landfill for the next 100 years anyway…
Skis are so 1970′s. Snowboards are out too. What in this day and age is cool for the slopes and won’t leave you looking like a lost and aging poser? The North Legion SMX Snow Bike. While those around you will still be slippin’ and slidin’ around on traditional old school snow travel methods, you can wow spectators and garner gawkers from all around with your snow bike. Essentially a custom bike frame attached to 3 skis, the Snow Bike makes traveling the vast snow covered hills and mountains of the world a new adventure that should bring new levels of adrenaline to those who seek such things.
If you find yourself looking at the design and thinking about how many times your rear end would come in contact with the seat, make note of the robust suspension attached underneath that aims to save your ass end from bottoming out in the most painful ways. It’s worth noting that because of the design and physics involved, deep, fresh powder isn’t the best road to drive on with this contraption. Instead densely packed, hardened slopes or those covered in the fake stuff are your best bet.
This holiday season instead of getting your kids socks or new pants for school, get them something that’s cool, get’s them outside, and builds character by punishing them to routine organic snow cones via their face (remember the helmet) If you’re dead seat on getting one, be sure to figure out an approach on the grand price tag revealing — £1,049 (~$1,700 USD). In all reality, $1,700 isn’t really that unreasonable for a top of the line bike — much a killer snow bike. So whataya say?
