How to build a ski bike! Spare BMX parts and old skis combined to create a homemade snow bike! Plus I ride it for the first time, which is exciting.. so much speed!
You are right, this bike is a bit uncontrollable, I was thinking wider skis or maybe even a cut up snowboard. The plan was to have it as similar to an ordinary BMX bike, hence the crank setup
Hey man, do you maybe know are selfmade skibikes allowed in Austria on-piste? Drove one already (sledgehammer 5) in Bramberg and they are crazy fun but expensive at 1000€ a piece... Looking into building one myself with custom kit from Canada, just not sure are they allowed here and where could I ride it... thanks for the info in advance and cheers from Linz 😁
What I used is a 34R bottom bracket. I don't think they are still in business tho. What some guys do is put a piece of tire between the bearing and spacer. You could try that
So awesome dude!
Glad you think so!
Try a cruiser frame.Would be more comfortable and controllable( maybe). All ski bikes I've seen have even foot pegs. How do you find the crank setup?

Genius!
Thank you!

I'm sorry, it's been so long. I'm not sure about all of the parts. Some were custom made too

I don't know, I would say they are not very happy with the selfmade bikes as they also didn't like me riding mine
Top 👌👌👌
Thanks!
Your production value makes me seem like a steaming bag of old broccoli 😂 Also, I would freaking kill myself on that thing ✌️Peace, JR.
where did you get that bushing bottom bracket for the pedals/crank to create friction?

what kind of skies are you using? link?
I have no idea, bought them on an online marketplace. They were children skis
Where did you get the triangles from?
Built those myself
how did you get the skis?
Bought them second hand on a online marketplace
Can I have your bike
I no longer have this bike anymore! It's been years!
