Besser als das Raupen-E-Bike: der Fat Bike Ski
Admittedly, the caterpillar e-bike for the snow looks more spectacular. But in the videos, the vehicle with the ski at the front and the caterpillar at the back has the dynamics of a golf cart. The fat bike ski looks a lot more lively. What it needs: A fat bike without a front wheel. The ski is mounted there. At the rear, the fattest possible tire provides traction and agility in the turns. The ski carves on pressed snow and offers flotation in powder that is not too loose. At least in the videos, it looks like a lot of fun to ride. It is unknown how long the guys practiced until they found the balance between the slipping rear wheel and the gliding ski.
Of course, you can also mount the ski on an e-bike or on a mountain bike with a normal tire width. There is even a suitable version for 26-inch wheels. The conversion kit, consisting of hub adapter and ski, is available for around 800 dollars. Now that skiing is such a thing, a lap through the snowy forest on a fat bike ski could bring a whole new quality to winter.
