Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

11 miles sound as though it might be enough range for a lift operator waiting on standby, for a line fault or perhaps a casualty evacuation?
Will be interesting to see if they catch on like ebikes?

I'm not sure but probably the 11 miles range was for travel over snow on the flat, going uphill would likely reduce that significantly.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fantastic invention! The article says that the bike can carry 2 batteries, each of which provides 11 miles of range so 22 miles in total. Presumably with a fairly gentle throttle hand. And it sounds like the batteries can be swapped out easily, so a ski resort with battery charging stations dotted around in garages could use a fleet of these to replace a fair few of its petrol powered snow cats.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Batteries are killed by cold. I wonder if the range was measured at -5C or -20C.
Nice idea.

On the up?? In the oh so cold??
Having seen the drop-off on my bikes bosch battery and the shenanigans with the BD Jetforce this is solidly a flatland urban fantasy for the moment and although it doesn't get eco bragging rights I'm sticking with my Apatche track Can Am Outlander for the foreseeable.
Does this feel like the re time of Sions and Apple Newtons to anyone else?
