Here on SHIFT, we\u2019ve covered conversion kits that turn your regular bike into an ebike<\/a> to help you power up hills. But what about when it starts to snow? Well, there are conversion kits for that too.<\/p>\n

Envo Drive, a Canadian company that specializes in making electric propulsion kits for bikes and kayaks, is taking pre-orders for its \u201celectric snowbike kit.\u201d<\/p>\n

In short, the kit is pretty simple. You take a bike, replace its rear wheel with the kit\u2019s electrically-powered snow track, and replace the front wheel with a snowboard that attaches to the forks and allows the rider to steer.<\/p>\n

The battery is attached where a bottle cage would typically mount in the middle of the frame.<\/p>\n

The drive comes from the snowmobile-style track at the rear, which has 1,200 watts of power and 120 Nm of torque. That\u2019s a lot!<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s a bicycle so the rider is still free to pedal as normal to power the track.<\/p>\n
