Snowbiking has actually very little common with riding a bike, and is more akin to skiing or snowboarding. There are no pedals or wheels, instead glides along on ski-type runners. With outstretched arms and comfortable saddle, the rider makes elegant turns down the slope. Feet are used to balance, and perform like stabilisers on a child’s bike. Steering is similar to riding a motorbike, not only do you turn the handlebars, but also turn the whole body in the direction you wish to go. Speed is dependant on the steepness of the slope and how many turns you make. Naturally the Snowbike has no engine, making it very eco-friendly! A suspension system counters any undulations in the piste and also protects the bottom and spine.
