What is iSkibike?
iSkibike is a skibob.
iSkibike is a full suspension sit-down ski bike used with small foot skis.
Sit-down ski bikes are also referred to as skibobs, a term from Europe where skibobs were invented.

iSkibike is perfect for adaptive skiing.
iSkibike is easy to ride using minimal physical strength and coordination. It provides a very stable platform with a low center of gravity. Small skis on the feet helps balance and provides braking which creates confidence and control while carving a turn or coming to a stop. Best of all, iSkibike's unique seat design allows you to ride the chairlift without dismounting the ski bike.

iSkibike Features and Benefits
|
Super Cushy Seats
iSkibike's unique saddle-shaped seats are covered in a stretchy fabric designed to stick to your butt (we call it soft-grip) allowing you to shift your weight and have those forces directed to your skiboards thereby providing you with excellent edge control.

Foot Skis with Brakes
iSkibike foot skis have short stout tails which can dig into the snow to provide a tremendous amount of braking power. They allow beginners and those whose reflexes are compromised to be able to go their own speed as slow as they want.

State-of-the-Art Skiboards
iSkibike uses downhill ski bindings to attach skis allowing you to choose which skis to use. Match skis to the snow conditions you are skiing or upgrade to the newest coolest skis on the market.

Safety
iSkibike incorporates on-slope runaway prevention into the front and rear suspension systems. Releasable downhill bindings on the skis reduces the risk of injury and they each have their own safety-stops.

Ski Hill Restrictions
Many ski hills restrict ski bikes and have done so from way back. The American SkiBike Association keeps a list of ski resorts who allow ski bikes. It is best to call ahead to check if you will be welcomed or not.
It's illegal to deny access to iSkibike riders with disabilities.
All ski resorts open to the public are subject to the American Disabilities Act of 1990. The ADA basically requires access to those with disabilities. Ski resorts leasing Forest Service land are further required to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
iSkibike is different from most modern "mountain-bike" inspired ski bikes. It uses foot skis so there is no foot traffic around the lifts or on the slopes. The bike is fully equipped with safety-stops and seldom do the lifts ever need to be slowed to accommodate loading or unloading.
