MoonBikes – Electric Snowmachines

This looks like fun. Now open for pre-orders, MoonBikes are electric “snow bikes.”

It weighs just 191.5 lbs with a single battery, but you can add an optional second battery to double the operating time of 1.5 hours to 3, with a top speed of 26 mph. MoonBikes are 28″ wide and will negotiate a 40 deg groomed slope.

    That looks wicked cool – but I’d be very interested in how they got those run time calculations… Cold weather degrades run time, and extreme cold weather kills it.

      The website says it has a heated battery compartment. Presumably the end user would pull the batteries when not in use. They could also offer something like Bakcou’s thermal battery jacket for the removed batteries.

        Doesn’t say how its heated though, and even with that it says they’re only rated to -13. Plus you get 1 hour’s ride time, and then 3 hours to recharge.

        Sounds like a lot of fun, but not very practical.

    • I’m not sure how, either – but I’m willing to try!

    Missed opportunity to call it the “snowped”.
