MoonBikes’ electric snowped looks like a toy. It’s a refrain the French startup’s founder and CEO Nicolas Muron has heard countless times, especially from snowmobilers. Yet once those people experience the small machine’s instant acceleration and innate agility, Muron claims their skepticism typically turns into enthusiasm.
Admittedly, we were also skeptical when MoonBikes invited us to sample one at Boyne Mountain ski resort in northern Michigan. Boyne is the largest U.S. resort where customers can rent them, with two-hour tours starting at $129. Following an obligatory safety talk from our guide and short familiarization period, we set out on the snow-covered golf course and surrounding trails. Just like Muron said, we went from skeptic to advocate.
