Extractions: Development of the skibob/skibike/snowbike Development of the sport of skibiking Development of the skibob/skibike/snowbike 1892 - American, Mr. J. C. Stevens patented the idea of a bicycle where the front wheel was replaced by a ski, the 'Ice Velocopide'. 1946/7 - German Engineer, M. G. Gfäller obtained a patent for a "single track steerable sledge", and thus the 'Gfäller Ei' was invented. 1949 - Austrian Engineer, Engelbert Brenter invented the 'Sit Ski'. Since then there have been various designs: Most of these designs have failed due to lack of financial support or they have not ridden well on the snow. However there have been two main developers of skibobs who have kept the sport going over the last 50 years and have transformed the skibob into the modern snowbike/skibike: Flachsmann - a Swiss manufacturer who has developed various racing bikes. And Brenter - the Austrian grandson of Engelbert Brenter, who has developed more lightweight bikes for the leisure market. Other relatively longstanding manufacturers include the Austrian Stalmach, And Kevan Leycraft, who has helped progress the sport in Canada.

In Großbritannien heißt dieses Sportgerät Skibike und die Sportart auch Skibobbing . 1989 führte der ehemalige Weltmeister Walter Kroneisl in der Schweiz auch die Bezeichnung Snowbike bzw. deren schweizerdeutsche Entsprechung Schneevelo ein. Das Fahren mit einem Skibob ist eine seit 1892 betriebene Wintersportart Im 19. Jahrhundert versuchten Erfinder in Amerika und Europa immer wieder Schneefahrzeuge zu entwickeln, die als Vorstufen zum heutigen Skibob (Snowbike) führten. 1892 meldete der Amerikaner John C. Stevens aus Hartford ein US-Patent für einen „einspurigen gelenkten Schlitten “ an. Als Vorbild diente ein normales Fahrrad, dessen Vorderrad er durch eine Schlittenkufe ersetzte und dessen Hinterrad zwischen zwei Kufen lief. Dieses Gerät ist nie aus dem Entwicklungsstadium herausgekommen, denn ein Schwingen und Gleiten war nicht möglich.

Skis The sport of skiing is well loved all over the world. There are dozens of variations of skiing, from cross-country skiing to telemark skiing and even skijoring with dogs. These types of skiing have gained in popularity over the past several decades. However, one form of skiing is still relatively unknown, both in the world of skiers and non skiers as well. This variation of skiing involves a metal frame, similar in appearance to that of a bicycle, attached to a short ski in front that can pivot side to side, and a longer ski in the back. This contraption is called a skibob. The skibob has been a fixture at European ski resorts for years, but using a skibob to catch thrills is beginning to rise in popularity in certain regions of the United States. The skibob was actually fairly popular in the United States during the 1960s, but the craze died down when, for unknown reasons, ski resorts began banning the skibob in the 1970s. Fortunately, ski resorts have eased up on skiers who prefer the skibob. Many ski resorts have full access for anyone wishing to skibob. Others have hills specifically set aside to skibob on. A few ski resorts have begun offering skibob rentals. Skibob fanatics are hoping that more ski resorts will join this growing trend of accepting the skibob. They feel that when the skibob is allowed at most ski resorts, more skiers will learn about it or give it a try.

Gallery U S A Retrospective An overview of the first incarnation of ski- biking in America By: Rod Ratzlaff With the proliferation of ski areas in the 50's and 60's, the popularity of the sport continued to grow in Europe. The Federation International de Skibob (FISB) was formed in 1961. The devices were termed "skibobs", apparently derived from the bobbing of heads and bodies as they rode over bumps on the slope. See the International " History " section for further information. The Beginning.................................................................................................................... It was just a matter of time before the bikes made the Atlantic crossing into North America. In 1956, German skibob racer,club President and bike builder Lorenz Ertl attempted to introduce the sport to the eastern ski establishment. He demonstrated at several ski areas using a bike he had built and planned to manufacture, but he could not convince the resorts to allow the bikes on their slopes as a matter of policy. He did succeed in garnering some publicity for the sport by way of sports show exhibitions, appearances in commercial advertisements, and a feature article in Look Magazine in 1958 (see The Lorenz Ertl Story Organization.......................................................................................................................
