Reply to comment by jotegr in S-Trax conversion kit could make yo' bike into a snowbike by giuliomagnifico

It just seems like a poorly conceived idea being marketed towards success. A lot of "technology" or ideas that aren't that great get bought and marketed as this cool new thing that will totally change X industry, despite everyone in that industry knowing exactly why it won't. The sad part is, many are successful because people fall for it, like those things you plug into your OBD or "essential oils".

Edit: HOLY FUCK

>The S-Trax Snowbike Conversion Kit sells for €2,499.99

That's as much as a (cheaper) used snowmobile from what I see. It also apparently doesn't even come with its own motor, which other conversion kits do too.

A sled can handle deep snow too, I don't think this could do anything better than a similarly priced electric fat bike.

But this thing costs more than many electric fat bikes alone, and doesn't even come with its own motor. It's just a really bad deal. Again, this is without a motor, something from what I've seen other companies include, and costs more than other options including an entire electric bike on its own.
