Seems like the technology is near perfected and snowbikes are becoming a thing.

would be helpful if the video showed the machines so we can get a sense of how this is different than a sled.

Interesting but at $6,000-$7,000 CAN - beyond what most people can afford on top of the price of the actual bike.

Well said...I have the perfect bike but at that price I'll take my sled out instead. But would love a conversion anyway.

From my research they are great in powder and horrible on groomed trails. I was thinking about getting a kit for my dirt bike.

The adbovin kits are less expensive and use the stock swingarm.

Also keep in mind that these wouldn't be allowed on OFSC groomed trails as they are not a motorized snow machine as defined by the snow machine act, (it would require a single track, (which it has but two skis), this is also how they keep tracked ATV's off the trails as they don't meet the definition.

But if someone had access to private property and deep powder they look like a hoot.
