Founder and CEO @ Bobsla GmbH - New way of E-motion on snow
1 年Great post! It's amazing how perceptions change over time. Just like with e-cars dozen years ago, many had concerns about their practicality and short ranges, winter performance and higher costs. Some even found them boring to drive. However, the rise of Formula E has shown that driving electric vehicles can be just as thrilling and exciting, if not more so! Now, we're witnessing a similar shift among snowmobilers. The forums are filled with debates on how snowmobilers have passionately embraced the petrol stink and the roaring sound of their engines, much like the initial affection for gasoline-powered cars. But alas, it's time to bid farewell to the old ways. Welcome to Bobsla snow races in electric sleds. We must say goodbye to the beloved petrol fumes and engine roars. Fear not, for this eco-friendly thrill will take you to new heights!
