Kiddie ride is cool, but when the white powder covers the ground, even the pricest of the kiddie rides will be rendered pretty much useless – unless there are snow tires for it. But that won’t be the case with the NASEKA Electric Snowmobile for Kids. If I am not wrong, this is NASEKA is the world’s first electric snowmobile for kids which kind of makes us think: “why didn’t anyone think of it!” Well, someone did now cos’ snowmobile for kids is coming, alright.

Nissan Brought An Altima With Tracks To Montreal Auto Show
Here’s a Nissan Altima, but as you can see, it is not the run-of-the-mill Altima. It has heavy-duty track system in place of wheels. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially Nissan fans because, turning its cars into a powdered ground-tearing beast with tracks wasn’t new. I believe it started with Nissan Rouge back in 2016 for the Montreal Auto Show and then, Nissan followed up with a track 370Z, unveiled at the Chicago Motor Show, in 2018.

Extreme Motorsport Junkies Turned A Suzuki GSX-R Into Snow-going Beast
Finnish extreme motorsport junkies who called themselves Stunt Freaks Team has created a super cool powder-kicking snowmobile, or more correctly put, a ‘snow bike’. Stunt Freaks Team’s snow bike started its life as a Suzuki 1000cc GSX-R, kicking out 170 ponies, but now it has got the front wheel swapped for a ski and the rear, a dual-suspension equipped track that stretch to rear at a ridiculous length. Man, you got see it to believe what these dudes have done. Continue reading Extreme Motorsport Junkies Turned A Suzuki GSX-R Into Snow-going Beast
Nissan Replaces A 370Z’s Wheels With Skis And Tracks, Calls It 370Zki
Do you own a 370Z? Yes? But can your 370Z take on the powdered ground? Probably – if you have snow tires/snow chain on its rolling stock, but I bet it will not be as maneuverable as this 370Z here. Specially constructed for this year Chicago Motor Show, this snow-going 370Z sports a head turning geometric pattern wrap, yellow tinted headlights and shares much of the regular 370Z features, including the a 3.7L V6 motor that puts out a healthy 332 horsepower, 7-speed auto gearbox, cloth power-folding roof et cetera, but the similarity does not continue beyond the drivetrain; this snow beast here is in effect, a snowmobile – thanks to the skis and tracks it now rolls on. So, you still think your 370Z’s good for the heavily powdered mountains? Well, think again. Continue reading Nissan Replaces A 370Z’s Wheels With Skis And Tracks, Calls It 370Zki
If Lamborghini With Tank Tracks Is Real, It Would Be A Super Snowmobile
If there’s one thing petrolheads hate, it would be snow. Powdered covered roads are no good for cars and obviously, not safe for some serious tire burning. But what if your favorite ride, such as a Lamborghini Huracán, has tracked like snowmobiles? Well, then that, my friend, means whatever season comes, you can always hit the road, any road. So, snow? What snow? As you can see, this Lamborghini Huracán Snowmobile Concept by Estonia-based designer Rain Prisk don’t give a damn to snow. Hell, we’d say it would even take on beaten trails and undulating terrains normally reserved for off-roaders anytime – thanks to its four tank-like tracks. Continue reading If Lamborghini With Tank Tracks Is Real, It Would Be A Super Snowmobile
SnoPed Is A Super Cool Snowmobile That Looks Totally Like Rey’s Speeder
What happen when you cross a motorcycle with a snowmobile? I know. You’re probably thinking of a motocross-style snow bike like the Yamaha HL500 snow bike. Your are right if the vehicle in question is designed and built by mechanics or engineers, but leave it to multi-disciplinary designer Joey Ruiter, the result would be SnoPed, a moped-cross-snowmobile. Aesthetically, the machine is pretty radical. It defies snowmobile design convention of low center of gravity and low stance (presumably for stability and maneuverability’s sake). Continue reading SnoPed Is A Super Cool Snowmobile That Looks Totally Like Rey’s Speeder
Northern Lights Optic’s Promotional Snow Bike is a Classic Yamaha HL500 Slapped with Modern Ski Kit
Eyewear has no direct relation to snow-going transportations. That’s obvious. But to Northern Lights Optic’s Orion Anthony, the brand is all about adventure and freedom with a touch of vintage and therefore, to him, there is no better way to promote the brand by banding together a vintage trail bike with a modern snow bike kit, and that’s when Yamaha HL500 Snow Bike was born. Snowmobile could have do the job easy, but according to Orion, modern snowmobile are way too modern to convey the company’s “vintage twist” ideology and on the other hand, classic snowmobiles wouldn’t be effective in conquering the deep snow of the alpine and so, the decision was made to take an old, but iconic bike and fuse it with modern snow bike kit. Continue reading Northern Lights Optic’s Promotional Snow Bike is a Classic Yamaha HL500 Slapped with Modern Ski Kit

Snow Crawler Is A Concept Snowmobile That Keeps The Rider Shielded From The Elements
Snowmobile’s design has has remain largely unchanged for ages. Though it may have more powerful and efficient engine and possibly more capable suspension, one thing has remained the same: the rider is still subjected to freezing cold. However, designer Michal Bonikowski begs to differ. His concept snowmobile, dubbed Snow Crawler, makes exploring the white powder-covered great outdoor a fun but not freezing experience. It is what the designer described as “a perfect marriage of excellent handling, all-terrain vehicle and a closed cabin for the driver.” And so yes, this ride will keep the chill away from you, well, at least most of it, as you take on the snowy trails or scaling up steep slopes, pushed along by an efficient electric drive.

Santa: Why Fly When You Could Cut The Snow In This 500HP Snow Sled?
Or probably not, because this aptly named SnowMonster by Swedish Lindberg Bros Motorsports makes more than just a ding. There is no familiar and ear-friendly ring, ring, ring chimes. There is only the unmistakable growl accompanying the big block unit with some 500+ ponies which would have drown out old Santa’s signature “ho, ho, ho” anyways. Fantasy and folklore aside, the SnowMonster is something to behold even after two years since it first surfaced. The Swedish drag racing shop marries a Volvo Duett Chassis with a vintage 1920s Model T body and then packed it with a Chevy 7.4L V8 big block that yields somewhere between 550 to 600 horses. This monster powertrain is mated to a Chevy TH 350 automatic transmission with Hurst shifter, putting the immense power to a set treads borrowed from an Arctic Cat Lynx snowmobile.
