World's First Electric Snowboard
Cyrusher, a leading brand in e-bikes, has introduced what the company describes as, “an electrifying marvel to the snowboarding domain”. Christening their creation, ‘The Ripple’, they claim that it’s the world’s first electric snowboard.
“Combining high-tech features with an exhilarating experience, the Ripple redefines winter sports, pushing the boundaries of excitement and performance on snowy slopes to new heights,” a Cyrusher spokesperson claims.
The 156cm long board features a 3000-watt electric motor integrated into the snowboard which can deliver top speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph) . The 15kg board can carry riders weighing up to 250 lbs, and 160-190cm high.
The board also incorporates a V1 controller specifically designed for accurate navigation across snow and ice-covered landscapes.
“Equipped with a high-voltage-resistant MOSFET and an advanced heat dissipation, the controller ensures precise control and responsiveness. Easily fine-tune snowboard forward speed and maneuverability for the ultimate snowboarding adventure, guaranteeing a thrilling yet controlled riding experience every time,” the Cyrusher spokesperson continued.
The electric power system of the board relies on a low-temperature resistant battery featuring a Molicel 21700 P42A 4200mAh 45A configuration, providing a 12.6 Ah capacity. This battery setup allows the Ripple to cover distances of 15-20 kilometers (9-13 miles) on a single charge.
The Ripple’s board design features a wide, high-traction rear tire, specifically tailored for snowboarding. This design is intended to enhance traction on icy snow cover, providing faster snow grip and improved stability on snowy terrain.
“Skiers can expect maximum stability and control in the snowy domain. Meanwhile, the Ripple introduces an adjustable independent suspension with manual wheel height adjustment, allowing riders to customize their snowboarding adventures by absorbing shocks and seamlessly adapting to the snow’s contours,” the Cyrusher spokesperson added.
The Ripple is also constructed to withstand various weather conditions. It boasts a full metal enclosure with a flame-retardant design and an impressive IPX6 waterproof rating, all designed to offer durability in different weather conditions.
“The advent of Ripple electric snowboards has revolutionized winter sports, offering sustainable thrills with lithium-ion battery power. The Ripple snowboards are silent and emissions-free, reducing noise pollution and promoting eco-friendly outdoor activities. The development of electric snowboards reflects a promising future for a more sustainable and exciting snowboarding experience,” the Cyrusher spokesperson concluded.
