Canadian company Daymak has unveiled an electric motorcycle that can also be used as a snowmobile. The Daymak Combat comes with an innovative design that combines the thrills of cycling with high-octane snow sports using a snow bike. It is a multi-role electric vehicle- e-bike and e-snowmobile.
Electric motorcycles are several thousand bucks more expensive than their internal combustion counterparts, with the same scenario also true for electric snowmobiles. Daymak is therefore combining an electric motorcycle and an electric snowmobile in the Daymak Combat. The EV is equipped with a set of track and ski attachments that can be deployed during winter.
When Spring sets in and the weather becomes conducive for motorcycling sports, the wheels can be restored. Daymak notes that the Combat is a strictly off-road vehicle. It is not intended to be ridden on urban streets or for daily commutes. It is purely a sports vehicle for use in off-road settings.
The Daymak Combat has a 5kW electric motor that peaks at 14kW (about 19hp) which is very impressive. This delivers much power to the motorbike cum snowmobile. It has a top speed of about 70km/h which is great for off-road movement.
The bike’s 4.8kWh battery that’s located in its frame delivers up to 80km on a single charge. For comparison, the battery capacity of the Daymak Combat compares squarely with that of several lightweight electric motorbikes.
The Daymak Combat is an off-road flat-tire electric bike that lacks street-legal status. Its dual-use capability could engender interest from several segments of the market. The Combat, however, does not come cheap. Daymak says that the bike will retail at $13,995 for the first 100 Founders Edition units. It is expected that the Daymak Combat will begin deliveries in June 2023.
Daymak is alternatively offering the Deluxe Edition of the bike for $14,999. Interested customers will pay a $1,000 deposit for the Deluxe Edition which is expected to debut in 2024. Daymak says the hybrid EV demonstrates its new direction as it evolves into a full-fledged designer and manufacturer.
