Snow ski-bike

Abstract

The Snow Ski-Bike comprises a main frame similar to the ones used on today's downhill type mountain bikes. It features a suspension system and ski pivot assembly removably connected to the main frame. The main frame does not incorporate a drive system or form of self propulsion as it is primarily designed to be carried to the top of the mountain by ski lift. The ski pivot assemblies are each equipped with horizontal return pivot shocks, hydraulically controlled brakes, and dual retractable traction fins for each ski. These components will serve as an integral part which will support The Snow Ski-Bike main frame on the snow covered ground. This provides a versatile arrangement that suitably combines stability, agility, and the ability to reach high speeds on various types of snow or ice covered terrains.

1 . A Snow Ski-Bike comprising;
 a mainframe having a front head tube, top tube, down tube, and a rear pivoted swing arm comprising a left and a right tube;   a front steerable supporting assembly operatively connected to the head tube to support the front of the frame when the bike is on the ground;   a front ski which is removable and connected to the front steerable supporting assembly comprising a brake for speed control, and duel traction fins to control drift;   a rear ski which is removable and connected to the rear pivoted swing arm comprising a brake and duel traction fins which are identical to those of the front ski, while supporting the rear of the frame when the bike is on the ground;   a horizontal leveler shock attached to the ski pivot assembly;   an in line double seat tube as an integral part of the mainframe for two position adjustability.
