Russian Inventor Proposes Electric Snow-Scooters For Ski Resort Transport

By Francis Xavier | February 20, 2020

There are all sort of upgrades you can buy to enhance your ski resort experience….priority parking, lift lines skipping privileges, slope-side ski lockers, and maybe in the future rideshare e-scooters to zip you from lift to lift or the parking lot to the base.

The Sniejik is a lightweight electric snow scooter out of Russia that is trying to find its place in the market, including ski resort transport as suggested by the video below. I can imagine a world where these quiet people movers are available to the skiing public much the way scooters and bike-share programs work in cities. Download app, activate scooter, and off you go. Thoughts?

Sniejik is a lightweight electric snow scooter. It allows you to travel effectively in winter on the snow and in summer on the sand, gravel or swamp. For this purpose, a wheel can be installed instead of a ski. Snow scooter has unique fetures and advantages over gasoline analogues.

Main advantages :

It doesn’t weigh much. One person can lift and drag over an obstacle.
Folded in the trunk of a car. It is disassembled into separate modules and fits into your wagon or hatchback.
The electric motor runs silently. Can be used in a park near your home.
You don’t need rights to control or special certificates.
The cost is lower than its analogues.
No gasoline or oil, you can store it at home or on the balcony.
It is charged from the home electric mains (socket). You can also charge it in your car.
The battery is quickly removed and installed. You can take an extra battery with you and increase the distance.
