RIP Ski Bikes turns an emerging winter sport into a scalable rental, media, events, and product platform.
The numbers on one page.
RIP has partnered with GoPro to put a camera on every ski bike. Every rental captures point-of-view footage; selected riders can livestream their run. Every customer becomes a content creator.
What is a ski bike, and why does it need a rental company?
A ski bike is exactly what it sounds like: the thrill of biking, rebuilt for the mountain, with skis instead of wheels. The challenge is that most people have never seen one, much less ridden one—and asking someone to buy a $6,000 machine they have never experienced is a tough sell. That is why RIP starts with rentals. We let people try it, feel the rush, capture the moment, and share the story. Once someone takes their first run, we are no longer explaining what a ski bike is—we are helping them figure out when they can ride one again.
Unfamiliar sport
Most people have never seen a ski bike. You can't sell a $6,000 product to someone who hasn't tried one.
Rentals create customers
Every rental produces demand data, product feedback, testimonials, and a rider who is far more likely to buy.
GoPro on every bike
Our GoPro partnership puts a camera on every ski bike. POV footage becomes daily social content, retargeting ads, and documentary material.
Competition owns the sport
Beginning Year 2, the RIP Championship Series turns renters into competitors and organizes the emerging sport.
Partner-shop pods scale it
Investor-funded 15-bike pods live at existing rental shops. RIP owns brand, bookings, media, and customer data.
Two kinds of capital
Company equity funds the platform. Pod capital funds rental inventory. They are never mixed.
