It\u2019s a tale as old as time. A man takes a ride on an electric motorcycle and thinks to himself, \u201cThis is great, but you know what it\u2019s missing? The ability to morph into an electric snowmobile, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ok, perhaps it\u2019s not the most common thought among us. But that hasn\u2019t stopped it from apparently becoming a reality thanks to Canadian designer Steven Foster, who has now spent three years developing and testing that exact concept to bring the Avvenire Combat e-motorcycle to life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Toronto-based EV brand Avvenire, which was spun out of low-cost e-bike and mobility company Daymak, is preparing to launch the Combat Ebike<\/a>, a 3-in-1 menace on tires\u2026and on snowmobile tracks. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. This electric motorcycle is something of a shapeshifter, claiming to offer three different types of rides. The bike can be set up to run as a typical street-legal electric motorcycle, an off-road electric dirt bike, or a snowmobile. The last one does require a bit more work on the rear end, though, where the wheel is replaced by a snowmobile track mechanism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Combat Bike can be a\u00a0dirt bike, a snowmobile, and a street-legal bike, 100% electric\u2014all in one at a reasonable price! It was something I\u2019d always dreamed of. The 3 in 1 makes it an all-year vehicle,\u201d
states Aldo Baiocchi, President of Avvenire Electric Vehicles International.<\/p>\n

The company claims that the Founder Edition of the novel bike has already sold out, despite the internet being surprisingly devoid of mentions of the new bike\u2026 at least before the press release announcing how sold out it was. <\/p>\n

Now Avvenire is offering pre-orders for the supposed next batch of bikes, with a $2,000 discount on the $9,999 MSRP for anyone who cares to take a big enough gulp and lay down a full payment. Fortunately, folks won\u2019t have to wait long. The delivery date for those pre-orders is said to be later this month.<\/p>\n

Hmm, with the delivery date of the regular production bikes so close, it almost seems like those Founder Edition bikes should already be out there somewhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Regardless, we can at least enjoy learning a bit about the specs on this new 3-in-1 electric motorbike. A 5,000W (7 hp) motor is said to power the bike up to a top speed of 37 mph (60 km\/h). That might be closer to scooter-level performance, but you do get the ol\u2019 leg-swinging-over-the-bike feel of a motorcycle.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on how fast it travels when in snowmobile mode, but I\u2019m guessing not quite 37 mph.<\/p>\n

A 3.6 kWh lithium-ion battery sufficient for 43 miles (70 km) of road range \u201cat top speed\u201d powers the bike, which supports riders up to 285 lb (130 kg).<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much else available regarding the bike\u2019s performance. We do have several images that appear a bit prototype-like, and Avvenire has often relied heavily on renders for its product images, similarly to the largely computer-generated teaser video<\/a> launched to go along with the Combat Ebike \u201csold-out\u201d announcement. <\/p>\n
