# Pedal-Powered Winter Sports The Sno-Go is a Cross Between a Bicycle and a Snowboard By Joey Haar | Published 2017-11-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snogo References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/sno-go-snow-bike/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds#/5) & [sno-go.us](https://sno-go.us/) Skiing and snowboarding are among the most exhilarating winter sports, but not everyone is confident enough to hit the slopes, which is why the Sno-Go has so much potential. The new piece of [winter sports gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beanie-helmet) is a cross between a snowboard and a bicycle, meaning that anyone who can [ride a bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptive-bike) will be able to get around on the Sno-Go. Both [skiing and snowboarding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-grenoble-xx-whitespace) are sports that tend to be exceedingly difficult to pick up in adulthood. Those who grew up with the sports breeze down the mountain, but it's far from an intuitive activity for those who weren't exposed to it early on (not to mention the fact that ski trips are few and far between for the average person, making it hard to practice as well). The Sno-Go is similar enough to bicycling that an athletic individual without any skiing or snowboarding background should still be able to ride it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pedal-powered Winter Sports:** The Sno-Go combines biking and snowboarding, providing an accessible option for those who want to try winter sports. - **Beginner-friendly Winter Gear:** The Sno-Go's combination of a snowboard and a bicycle opens up winter sports to individuals who may find skiing or snowboarding daunting. - **Intuitive Winter Sports Equipment:** The Sno-Go's similarity to biking allows athletic individuals with no skiing or snowboarding experience to quickly adapt and enjoy winter activities. ### Where This Applies - **Winter Sports Equipment:** Manufacturers in the winter sports equipment industry can explore the production of innovative gear like the Sno-Go to cater to a broader customer base. - **Recreation and Tourism:** Recreation and tourism businesses have an opportunity to offer the Sno-Go as a beginner-friendly winter activity, attracting new customers with a low entry barrier. - **Sports and Fitness:** The sports and fitness industry can incorporate the Sno-Go as a fun and accessible winter exercise option, attracting fitness enthusiasts and expanding their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All Terrain Electric Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skwheel-one.md) - [Snow Scooter Conversion Kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-scooter-conversion.md) - [Off-Course Skier Support Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skiavec.md) - [Snow-Faring Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorized-mountain-bike.md) - [Motorized Skier Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eskimo.md) - [Riproaring Electric Snowboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-snowboard.md) - [Scooter-Style Pump Foil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foil-scoot.md) - [Dual-Mode Mobility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duomick.md) - [Portable Skiing Rope Tows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rope-tow.md)
