Bikes for really deep snow

[Nirmala]

I just saw this article about snow bikes: http://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/snow-bike-winter-xgames/

They look like they would be a blast in really deep snow. I wish there was an electric version, although I also found this prototype of an electric snow bike: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

It would be especially nice to be out in the snow with a quiet electric version versus a noisy gas powered snow bike.

Yes, but they take a lot of power! Guys that put them on smaller displacement bikes are usually pretty disappointed. 450cc 2 strokes or even bigger 4 strokes means 40+hp to really be able to dig out of your own way.
My dual hubbed motored, fat tired Big Bud Pro bogs pretty quickly in deep snow.
Snow sleds and bikes are probably the last bastion for IC motors.

I guess cross country skiing is still the way to go for peace and quiet in the winter woods

I saw this when I was looking at snow chains for 4" fat tire bikes from KtraK: http://www.ktrak.es/preguntasfrecuenteseng.htm
