The Mattrax Powerboard is basically a powered snowboard. This means that you can wreck your body in an entirely new and innovative way. As if the risk of broken ankles from snowboarding wasn't enough, the guys at Mattrax decided to add a hot 200cc petrol engine between your legs, and a powerful rubber track spinning at high rpm to the bottom of the board.
The mid-mounted engine allows for a top speed of 18 mph, and it can comfortably handle snow covered hills and deep powder. Steering is done just the same as on a conventional snowboard, by just shifting your body weight.
The stand-on design of the Mattrax Powerboard does not require you to wear any type of special boots or bindings - meaning you can throw yourself to safety when everything starts to go a bit wrong.
The adjustable height handle provides the rider leverage and stability, while also providing the mounting point for the thumb-operated throttle.
The chassis of the Mattrax Powerboard is mainly constructed out of aluminum for strength and light weight. The engine housing and decking is molded in high density plastic.
