Fun in the snow: snow bikes with wheels and runners
If the snow is too high, bikers have to switch. With these alternatives, at least you always have a handlebar in your hand. Winter can come...


Fat-E-Fully

Whether Haibike or Bulls, with four-inch wide tyres and motor support, you can also dig through deep snow. The wide tyres provide flotation thanks to the large contact surface, and the e-drive makes many a passage passable in the first place.
Between 4000 and 4599 euros. Fatbike hardtails from 3000 euros.

Snowscoot

The Snowscoot comes from the Czech Republic and is only suitable for the piste. You stand parallel, the vehicle has two skis and allows you to carve. There is no suspension. Depending on the version, the Snowscoot with steel frame weighs between 7.1 and 9.1 kilos.
Prices from 530 to 1220 euros. www.snowbaar.com

Snowtrike

The Snowtrike is also designed for use on the piste and stands on three skis. A 120 millimetre Rockshox Recon fork is used to smooth out bumps at the front. The trike from Slovenia weighs 17 kilos and allows for extreme manoeuvres.
The Snowtrike is available for 1900 euros at: www.hillstrike.com

Tracked vehicle

This conversion kit allows you to convert an existing 26-inch MTB with 9-speed drivetrain to a caterpillar drive. The rear wheel is swapped for the caterpillar drive and a ski is used instead of the front wheel. You should still be able to ride even in 30 centimetres of fresh snow.
From around 700 euros. www.ktrak.es
