Sternboard Electric Skateboard with Snow Kit

Off-road, powered skateboards aren’t exactly breaking news. But while they can handle dirt and rough terrain, snow and water usually leave them throwing in the towel. Sternboard, however, takes off-roading seriously—and by seriously, we mean waterproof and amphibious levels of fun.

Unlike your average electric skateboard, Sternboard doesn’t just stop at having all-terrain capabilities. It’s got a unique three-wheel design, and yes, it can survive full-on water submersion without crying for help. Now for the pièce de résistance: Sternboard has an accessory that turns it into what can only be described as a standing snowmobile. Yes, a snow-going skateboard. How cool—literally—is that?

The kit gives your regular Sternboard a pair of front skis and a track at the back, transforming it into a half-track skateboard that tears through powdered snow at speeds of up to 30 mph. The best part? No need to remove the wheels. The kit retrofits right onto the Sternboard, though if you’re feeling minimalist, you can ditch the front wheels entirely.

Without the snow kit, the Sternboard, designed and manufactured in France by Strange Quark Motors, can hit speeds of up to 65 km/h (40 mph) on regular surfaces. Even cooler? The deck is as thin as a regular skateboard. So where’s the battery, you ask? Oh, it’s in a backpack that you carry as you carve up roads, dirt trails, or snowy slopes like a futuristic action hero. Sternboard also boasts a zero-maintenance motor, making it as stress-free as it is thrilling.

And if snow isn’t your vibe, the track with the stock wheels up front can tackle sandy grounds like a champ too. Talk about versatility. Oh, did we mention the skateboard comes with an optional trailer hitch that lets you tow things around?

If you want one, then be prepared to part with a hefty chunk of change because word on the street is that a Sternboard bundled with the snow kit will set you back a jaw-dropping US$4,000. Holy mother of snowmobiles, indeed.
