The invention relates to a snow ski bike that can be folded and carried easily. Moreover, it provides a resilient means connected to the front ski and a further front member. In addition, the claimed snow ski bike includes a retractable front ski and a spring-loaded front member, which biases the forward end of the front skiing upward. The disadvantages of prior art ski bikes are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Resilient means connected to said front ski and to said further front member

The forward portion of the frame 11 comprises a longitudinally extending member 11, a transverse bar 19, and two bifurcated frame members 15 and 16. The first member 51 supports at least one, preferably two, stays 60, and extends upwardly through a bearing sleeve 64, which is mounted between cross struts 66 and 68 of the frame 12. The seat 61 is fixed to a footrest 62, and the posts and rods are joined by a tapered bolt 72.

Resilient means connect to said further front member of the snow ski bike includes a shock absorber operably connected to the seat, and a further front member. The rear end of the ski extends substantially over the forward end of the front ski in a straight-ahead steering position. A triangular portion of the rear ski, a front inclined member, and a further front member are fixed to the frame.

Removable means connected to said front ski and to said further front member

The invention relates to a snow ski bike attachment and a further front member, and more particularly, to a system for mounting the skis on said front member. The system includes a support sleeve and a set of reenforcing members on the skis. The sleeve is fixed to the skis by support arms, and a further front member is attached by rods extending between the support sleeve and the skis.

The system comprises a motor bike and a sturdy ski unit. The motor bike is supported by a reenforcing means and a hub or support sleeve that operatively position the skis on the further front member. The skis are arranged in a fixed, angled position on the front member. The reenforcing means includes a ring or other device that provides friction against the motor bike’s front member to reduce the chance of slipping off the skis.

Disadvantages of prior art ski bikes

While prior art discloses some pegger style and ski retention systems, these do not fully describe the ski bike design that is used in modern versions. In addition, prior art does not disclose the resistance damper that is placed between the ski bracket and fixed member, which provides modulation and rotational resistance to the snow ski. Regardless of the prior art’s limitations, the ski bike that is described herein is an improvement over the prior art.

The frame of a ski bike includes a straddle bar I0 made of a metal tube that is bent arcuately about half its length. This straddle bar is attached to a front steering column II and supports a long sitting board l2. The board is connected to a section l3 having a front end portion cut semicircularly and a rear end portion that is squared. The straddle bar l6 has a hole in its lower end l6 for a pin that interfaces with either a left or right bearing member.

Design of TNGNT Carve ski retention system

The TNGNT Carve is a unique type of ski bike that was designed with the riders’ comfort in mind. It is a tangent from mountain biking and skiing, but it’s incredibly easy to assemble, with less parts than the word “tangent.” The ski bike has a 90% assembled frame and requires no special tools or gear to get started. There is no need for any additional gear, such as a hood or helmet, since the bike is compatible with both Boost forks and conventional brakes.

The Tngnt Carve is available in several options for customization, including front and rear shocks, and different seat setups. Depending on your comfort level, the bike is designed to be low impact and offer a fun ride for the entire family. It also comes standard with some amazing components, including a high-quality front fork and shocks. You can also upgrade the TNGNT Carve with various ski retention inserts and shocks.

Cost of Sno-Go ski bikes

The cost of Sno-Go ski bikes starts at $1,299 on Indiegogo, but you can actually rent them in Utah for $55 per day using a rental voucher. Depending on which rental facility you go to, you can even buy a full-day pass for $125. In Utah, you’ll want to reserve the bike in advance as it may sell out quickly. The bikes are expected to retail for $1,599 at retail.

The Sno-Go bike rental process starts with a safety waiver and includes a mandatory lesson on the hill. After that, you can have free rein of the hill. Remember to wear a helmet and snowboard boots for optimal fit and grip. If you’re renting Sno-Gos in Michigan, be sure to ask for a helmet, too. Sno-Gos are easy to use. Rental costs range from $160 to $600.
