What MoonBikes does

MoonBikes designs and manufactures ultralight, zero-emission electric snow vehicles centered on a patented high-efficiency direct-drive propulsion system. Founded in 2018 by aeronautical engineer Nicolas Muron in the French Alps, the company's flagship Moonbike weighs 87 kg and combines a rear snow track with a front ski steering configuration, with manufacturing executed in partnership with Bosch at a facility in Haute-Savoie. The platform uses a 72V lithium-ion battery system with cold-resistant housing rated to -25°C, available in 2.5 kWh, 3.2 kWh, and dual-battery configurations up to 5 kWh supporting up to 64 km of range. Product line extensions include the Snowbike (a pedal-assist 48V variant) and the Snowkart (a two-track accessibility-oriented model), with supporting batteries, chargers, spare parts, and accessories sold through the same channels.

The company sells to three primary customer groups: individual adventure enthusiasts seeking silent backcountry mobility, ski resorts and mountain destinations deploying rental fleets under the MoonBike Parks program, and rental/tour operators running guided experiences. Distribution runs through three parallel channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on moonbikes.com, a network of 140+ authorized dealers across North America, Europe, and Asia, and B2B resort partnerships with 45+ designated MoonBike Parks across 25+ countries. Pricing on the base Moonbike starts at $8,900 USD, with battery and charger SKUs ranging from $130 to $2,500. Marketing has been amplified by earned media at CES (2022, 2023) and lifestyle collaborations with Renault and Saint Laurent.

MoonBikes was acquired by Canadian light electric mobility company ENVO Drive Systems in August 2025, with founder Nicolas Muron continuing in a product leadership role and ENVO CEO Ali Kazemkhani leading the combined organization. The acquisition gives MoonBikes access to ENVO's manufacturing scale, 140+ dealer network, and North American service infrastructure, while the MoonBikes brand and Alpine product positioning are being preserved. To date, more than 1,200 MoonBikes units have been deployed across 25+ countries, supported by cumulative funding of approximately $6.7M across a 2019 EIC grant, 2020 round, and a 2021 round of roughly $5.2M led by NextStage.
