  I think that is as simple as early customers end up paying the R&D costs. (Which is NOT unique to this )

Some machines are not suited for battery-power… this is one. The amount of friction and drag loss must be incredible. Also, what aboot heated seat and hand grips? In my opinion, the track should be 50cm longer, and easy-swap-out track treads for various conditions. 2-stroke is still much more conducive for a snowbike.

If you could tow someone behind you this would be the best Backcountry ski / snowboard vehicle

I purchase one now if I could go up to a mountain take this out of the back of your truck and tow your buddies up the fire roads and take turns skiing / snowboarding down
