Key Highlights
- ENVO is developing a utility-focused MoonBike for professional crews and defense customers, with a release targeted for fall 2028.
- The new model will feature double the motor power, a larger seat and sled, and attachments for professional work.
- The current ultralight MoonBike will remain available for snow transport and recreational use.
ENVO Drive Systems is developing a heavier-duty version of its MoonBike electric snow bike, targeting professional crews, harsh-weather operations and defense customers. The new models are expected to launch around fall 2028, the Burnaby, British Columbia-based company announced on Nov. 10.
MoonBikes founder Nicolas Muron will continue to lead the engineering and design work as the company expands the product line beyond its existing ultralight model.
New MoonBike Targets Demanding Winter Operations
The utility version will feature a larger seat and sled, double the motor power, and support attachments designed for a wider range of professional applications.
ENVO said the new model will retain several characteristics of the current MoonBike, including zero tailpipe emissions, low-noise operation and a low heat signature. The existing model will remain part of the lineup, serving customers who need snow transport or a recreational electric vehicle.
The company is also positioning the heavier-duty version for defense applications, including patrol and transport across remote, cold-weather terrain.
Existing MoonBike Fleet Spans 25 Countries
Since its launch, more than 1,200 MoonBikes have been deployed across 45 parks in over 25 countries, according to ENVO.
One example is France’s Avoriaz ski resort, where the lift operator uses a fleet of six MoonBikes for resort operations and lift maintenance. The new utility model is intended to address more demanding tasks that require additional power and equipment.
ENVO to Integrate Its Modular Technology
The upcoming MoonBike will draw on ENVO’s modular technology, including upgraded batteries, interfaces, controllers and selected components. The company has been developing this technology for its UPT light electric vehicle, which buyers can configure into 18 or more vehicle types.
ENVO acquired MoonBikes in 2025. For the new models, logistics and customer support will be managed through the company’s operations in Vancouver, Los Angeles and Poland.
“Teams who work in the snow need tools that are tough, clean and quiet. That’s exactly where MoonBikes are headed,” Ali Kazemkhani, CEO and founder of ENVO Drive Systems, said in the announcement.
With the planned utility model, ENVO aims to extend MoonBike’s role from recreational snow travel to professional operations that demand greater power, durability and versatility.
