We invent, patent, design and produce electric snowmobile, that bring more drive and pleasure for less weight, energy and costs. To entry market we have chosen B2B sales, already delivered for $140K.
Current Status
As market entry we have chosen sales of batches of vehicles to snow resorts – for entertainment purposes. It allows us to quickly develop and to start sales in a year since foundation. We develop and deliver on domestic market in Austrian Alps. Before COVID we have got a lot of orders from other Scandinavia – they have been postponed till after lockdown time. US/Canadian market (80% of world market of snowmobiling) – we will come there soon. Inspite COVID we already delivered resorts in Alps.
Problem or Opportunity
Snowmobiles are great fun, but they pollute 3-5X more than average car, they are noise (up to 90dba – like chainsaw), they are responsible for multiple accidents each year, producing over 200 deaths and 14,000 injuries annually in North America alone. Electrification of snowmobiling goes hard and expensive – classical chassis requires 3x-5-x more energy than motorcycle, with heavy weight of batteries they sink in snow. That why there are e-bike makers and only a few do electric snowmobiles, delivering not much driving pleasure for price, which is 2x-3x more expensive than traditional one.
Solution (product or service)
Bobsla rather floats in the snow than just drives. The patented design is based on the design of a bob with an electric caterpillars: (1) Low energy consumption (-30% vs e-sleds) (2) Driving pleasure - awesome agility and drift (3) Sharp feeling of speed makes driving fun safe (4) Optimized material costs enable the fair price (2x-3x cheaper)
Business model
With limited financing we build batches of vehicles under the order of customer . After gaining enough brand awareness, tech expertise and financial strength, we will go to B2C. That is many people wait from us. We manufacture vehicles assembling them from components, produced by metal and plastic converters, mainly focusing on R&D and power train of our vehicle. Our key strengths are our patented invention, brand and tech experience of driving on snow.
