Although the Ski bike – a bike with skis instead of wheels – has been with us a long time in various forms - the sk'e-bike is a new twist on the concept.
Offered by company called AvélO at the French ski resort of Peisey-Vallandry, located next to Les Arcs and sharing the vast Paradiski area with it and La Plagne, it offers a combination of the two disciplines of e-biking and ski touring.
"Thanks to the electric propulsion of the bike, adventurers have the freedom to set off from the foot of the summits, before reaching the snow-covered peaks on touring skis!" a resort spokesperson explains.
Sk'e-bikers are accompanied by mountain professional William Breysse oin their adventure to ensure as goes to plan.
"Thrill seeking adventurers will be able to make the most of both the snow and optimal sunshine conditions with this totally new sensational activity!" the spokesperson added,
...noting that beginners in both ski touring and riding electric bikes could give it a go alongside those more experienced in both or either activity.
