It wasn't so long ago that a bike with an auxiliary motor was beyond the realms of thought and feasibility. And a snowboard with an electric motor? It has a similar status.

A kind of paddle wheel motor at the rear of the board provides propulsion.

After heated debates, the electric drive has now established itself in mountain biking. This hot phase is just around the corner for ski tourers. The first motor-assisted skins have just been unveiled.
