The amazing Ice-Bat is a human powered vehicle capable of speeds of around 35km/h
It runs on hardened steel skates which provide perfect tracking and steering without damaging the ice
The skates have a unique profile and are supported using specially developed suspension geometry
The drive train uses a continuous chain in a Mobius loop
The propellers have been custom engineered by specialist companies in France (v11) and Germany (v12)
The supporting structure (chasis) provides stability, stiffnes and good ride quality
