The light and nimble Moonbike can ride in up to 30 cm of powder snow depth and 40 percent gradeability on groomed slopes. The silent snowbike can also reach up to 42km/h, or about 26 mph, so there’s definitely still potential for wiping out.

You definitely won’t be blasting through the mountains like on a snowmobile, but Moonbikes offer a much chiller and affordable alternative to getting around on snow.

If you’re planning for a longer day on the slopes, the Moonbike’s range can be doubled with an optional dual-battery setup that gives it three hours of max range.

The batteries are easily removed from below the seat and take roughly five hours to fully charge through the standard charger or three hours with the an optional fast charger.
