Love the idea, but it seems like the wheel should be in the center like a onewheel, so your weight is pushing down directly on it, instead of on the back where the only weight it has pushing it into the snow is the weight of the device itself. Seems also like it should be a track, not a wheel. A wheel only has a small point of contact, a track could have 12" of contact. I've developed a handful of products and this seems like a gen 1 prototype, not a product yet. I hope they keep refining it to make it work, I'd love to go flatgrounding on a board in the backcountry.
Actually, while i'm talking to myself about this, I can see it better if it abandoned the idea of a board entirely. If you had bindings positioned like a board, that could rocker/pivot to steer, but the actual surface hitting the snow was more like a snowmobile/machine, where it's a combo of skis and powered tracks, that might work. Boards rely on edges, but power requires traction, and the more power you get to bite into snow the less you can use an edge to steer. Anyways, this was fun.
@@reallyfrodo yea as an avid electric skateboarder and snowboard enjoyer I REALLY wish a product like this was possible to make work but I just really don't think its feasible.
Your frustration with the remote was HILARIOUS!! "The Ripple or whatever its called" 😂😂 I was hoping you were going to love it but thats how it goes sometimes. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Best channel on the Internet!! 🤘🤘
"Which means ride it on cement" 😆😆😆 i like how people are trying to develop new ways to have fun on the snow. Maybe in a few more years, they'll get the bugs out. DEATH MACHINE!!! 😂
Ive thought about this in depth, first, good on you for figuring out the motor suspension. Second, have you tried centering the motor? Third GAS POWER!!! and lastly, have you tried a longer belt style drive? Just a little bit more length could allow for an attack angle on the belt via suspension and more grip due to length. Cheers.
Go to step in bindings make release at certain force, have shut off chord when off board for crash, split wheel into two, move the wheels will away from each other and towards the inner edge, get rid of remote add gyro stabilizer to turn on or of automatically, have spring load wheel. So it turns off and raises on cruise, cut battery in half, add manual kick pump, run a kinetic energy generator cause it’s snow boarding. The idea is your a steamboat, the river will push you , They did this in ww1 as a boat, it was really fast, They had cat tracks pre ww1, solid start
Dang, I was hoping this would be better than it is. I think the main issue is not enough weight applied to the motor wheel because your foot is locked too far forward. If you look at the DIY electric snowboard on my channel, you'll see I step basically right down at the base of the motor mount arms. Gets me going with a lot weaker 500W motor, and I'm a heavy dude (240lbs). And mine cost 1/3 to make as this did to purchase. Come check out the one on my channel, I think there's lots of potential for electric snowboards!
Ive seen a similar one on insta called power traverse. that one seems to have a much beefier motor. I wonder how that would do in comparison to this one.
if the tire could lift up and lower down that would help because then you could still ride it and get way more grip when its lowered if u made it lower an extra couple inches. then a paddle tire with deep paddles too!
Metal wire in the bottom of the board that rotates from the top of the board to the bottom on both sides have a motor spin that wire to give you some grip and get you going . That wheel should be replaced with something thinner that can give you traction throughout the whole board not just the back .
I went diving in Thailand and Chinese tourists come scuba and snorkle but can't actually swim, like at all... they have guides holding them who push them around Ike paraplegics in the water... This device appears made for the equivalent consumer, a Chinese snowboarder who can't snowboard.
The track shape needs to be oval like and the board needs some shallow grooves at the back and the front but honestly this would work better on a paddle board
You would think it would be better in powder it would be too heavy in powder. I feel like if it had spikes on the tire it would probably be grabbing at the snow and pulling you forward. I also bet it would work on lighter because where your back foot is at on the board would make it much more difficult for the tiny wheel to push you forward
Remote is borked. Not the right tread on the tires. Not enough downforce being applied by those springs. (This could be do to the flimsiness of the board or the weak springs themselves).
It needs to be attached to a stiffer board to actually press the wheels into the snow. A benefit to something like a snowmobile is the weight and inability to flex except for in the parts that help mobility.
😢A snowmobile has a large flat contact with the snow. This has a roller with a tiny foot print and completely different action. Think taking a bottle brush and spinning it against something versus taking a dozen bottle brushes side by side and pushing them along the surface. One has almost no contact and just spins against it the other scrapes against a big patch of snow with a pushing station. This is crap. There's probably some way to invent a snow outboard for very specific powder riding which gets straight destroyed by the first rock I meets, or a lame thing like this for flat basing near tarmac... maybeven down your drive way to get the morning paper in Guangzhu, but both will heavy unfun pos.
I'm pretty big into electric skateboarding and just wanted to say all the electronic issues just basically shouldn't be happening. The random disconnects and getting stuck at full power are obviously massive issues. I've ridden my 600 dollar electric skateboard for over 2000 miles at this point and it has never even disconnected, let alone gotten stuck at full power. It's also five years old at this point and its not like the technology got worse in that amount of time. It truly just seems poorly engineered.
Honestly... theres just no point in this unless it had a mechanism that could retract the tracks and the use was to get up a hill without a lift.. that would be cool i guess
Did you maybe keep accidentally pressing the S button on the remote? That's the issue I saw someone else mention because the button is right where you want to rest your thumb
A hard pack groomed trail would be more appropriate especially north east mountains that have colder temps, less snow and much more hard pack than the west. Between the bindings might be an all around better placement. It’s probably to tight a space for a mini track which would be better than a wheel.
Anyone with the slightest snowboard or eboard experience knew after seeing this last year knew it was a totally useless and unnecessary product. Everything cyrusher makes is over priced garbage. Disappointed you even considered tested it. You’ve let yourself down bro. Or maybe you’ve found the best board for the Clews!
This is a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist. Super tail heavy. For the wait instead of using the spinning wheel they should have used treads like a snowmobile. I still wouldn't buy it then even.

Do a search for replacing the Thermostat in your snowmobile. It's an easy and cheap fix that may solve your overheating issues.
It’s looks like more fun to just have a buddy with a snowmobile
For the price you could just buy one
I can feel your frustration. Respect for having this much patience
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Let's go

I've seen videos of it in action, and - Spoiler - it's absolute crap!
🙃
Awesome
One of these days it will get better
If buckhouse has it in a video, you know its crap
Shocking
man, this thing would be sick if you could get it to work in a pow field. love seeing kooky stuff like this!
Man props for sticking it out and having patience for it ! Maybe try adjusting the height of the motor for your weight?!
2500 dollars for a snowboard but you can have an electric one! This man is dedicated to making us great videos
Thanks you🙏🏼
No problem, I hope you have a good day!@@JohnathanBuckhouse
Clews, Kuhno, Virtika and now this the list of top core brand sponsors on this Chanel is amazing😂😂
Who are your sponsors?
Ohhhh man! It totally looks like it would work so much better than it does. Bummer! Back to the drawing board
The most buckhouse thing of your lifetime
🤣😂
Very glad I saw this video before purchasing one of these, looks like they have some more engineering to do to get this thing ready for production.
Your frustration with the remote was HILARIOUS!! "The Ripple or whatever its called" 😂😂 I was hoping you were going to love it but thats how it goes sometimes. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Best channel on the Internet!! 🤘🤘
Such a surf and Skate feeling 😉
Does it work better in powder?
you're a real piece of work lol
Your patience is incredible
Thanks 😂
This looks super first gen, I think I'll wait lol

Dude yes
Yup always waiting for your vids✌🏻

It has to be a snowboard first. Don’t forget that, that’s what u forget here, it would be easier if I had a gyro kite or parachute to move
I love the back country vids keep it up
Snowboard + motor= Smowterboard
🤣😂🤣
Y’all notice how the people that made this thing didn’t release a video of them actually testing it out?😂
I wonder if it would work better with the wheel between your feet?
I don't know how this product made it to production. Did they do any product testing/ marketing research?
Sick video
Thanks bro!

“Silliest thing” is a nice way of putting it 😅

That wheel should be replaced with something thinner that can give you traction throughout the whole board not just the back .

Ike paraplegics in the water... This device appears made for the equivalent consumer, a Chinese snowboarder who can't snowboard.
Coolest thing ive seen today
The snowmobile towing was much more entertaining. That board is just silly. Even as an early design, what problem was it even trying to solve?? 😅
Idk 🤷🏼♂️ 😂
Quite the interesting idea...
This is gonna be crazy!
Lean back dude and dig your tail in the snow
The track shape needs to be oval like and the board needs some shallow grooves at the back and the front but honestly this would work better on a paddle board
a cogwheel on the center of the board that spins a track the full length of the board. Would be a better starting point.
Grab a Onewheel with a treaded tire and race the e-board
It would be better if the wheel was in the middle for better traction. Interesting concept though
How bout that packer dub
You would think it would be better in powder it would be too heavy in powder. I feel like if it had spikes on the tire it would probably be grabbing at the snow and pulling you forward. I also bet it would work on lighter because where your back foot is at on the board would make it much more difficult for the tiny wheel to push you forward

🤔 Good points!
wHY WOULD ANY BODY WANT OR NEED THIS!!!!!

What an Epic video! Too bad it didn't work right.
whoever made this needs some high school physics classes lol
You confirmed my thought that I posted on your insta
Wheel should be in the center for better carving
I think a positive positive stance would help some as there’s clearly no ability to ride switch on that thing😂
This was my idea!
Tnx for showing us where not to spend our money brother 😉 that thing sucks!
👍🏻392
Ride it on cement!! 😅😅😅
“Look guys, you can’t rush science.”
Thanks for trying.
Day 3 of trying to get
@jonathan Buckhouse to go to pebble creek🤙
take it to a ski resort and see if you can carve with it
A better ad for clews rather than this electric board
The fact that some engineers put their professional stamp on the product is painful. The best part of this video is the RMK footage…….thanks Polaris.

Worlds first*
Worlds last*
LOL
Lol
Yea that thing looks more frustrating than enjoyable in my opinion lol id rather just have a board
💯
Honestly... theres just no point in this unless it had a mechanism that could retract the tracks and the use was to get up a hill without a lift.. that would be cool i guess
This thing is crazy!!!
Right
Why a wheel an not just a track like snowmobile
I ride exclusively on the ice coast and I still wouldn’t use that pos 😮
This looks as underwhelming as being served a 7up when you ordered an Old Fashioned. 😅
🤣😂
You lost me at “have to have a backpack”
yeeesh that thing looks no bueno
😅
Did you maybe keep accidentally pressing the S button on the remote? That's the issue I saw someone else mention because the button is right where you want to rest your thumb
Needs more surface area
you should come try one of my boards... they will change your life and more content for you. lol

.....i cant lol, who came up with this
🤣😂🤣
That was underwhelming
So what your sayin is buy a snowmobile instead. Got it.
Batteries and cold. 🤔
I'd have better luck on my Propel X4S2 All terrain electric skateboard on that type of snow ❄️ 😅
Bummer it was such a let down and seems a little dangerous.
Love the video but just don’t see the practical use for this for anyone other then Alaska
хорошая попытка, но устройство пока ещё не готово ... когда можно будет кататься нормально - позовите)
🤘🏼
Mmmm.... i dont know !!!
i just feel bad for the guy who made this because this so dumb
Kenny can make one better🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Electric snowboard? What is this sorcery
🤣😂
Oooooof
Dam. I feel bad for this product. If you are an investor, pull your money out.
Anyone with the slightest snowboard or eboard experience knew after seeing this last year knew it was a totally useless and unnecessary product. Everything cyrusher makes is over priced garbage.
Disappointed you even considered tested it. You’ve let yourself down bro. Or maybe you’ve found the best board for the Clews!
I think it needs AWD. 😂
if it aint broke dont fix it
Figured this was still I beta testing not very cool yet
🫶🏼🫶🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼
cute
Vail pass!?!?!
