- We created the world's first Tesla Powered Electric Ski! Pre-orders start this summer. Click this link for more details: jskis.com/blogs/its-just-skii...
Thanks to Mad River Glen for being down with the future! - Sport
Looking forward for the ski supercharger at Mad River
We we're thinking turbo first since the cold weather would really aid in building boost!
😂 "building boost" for something electric
I know the first thing I would do with a one of a kind prototype ski would be to shred through a dirty parking lot!
Gotta test in all environments... no more walking from your car to the mountain!
It's easy when you don't pay for them.
Holy smokes, in a parking lot. I’ve seen idiots ruin skis that way
This is one of the greatest April fools jokes(sorry, very serious product launches) that I have ever seen, the sound effects are amazing.
Thanks for the support!
Is this a really well crafted April Fool's joke?
No, it's a really poorly planned day to launch a highly innovative product
Tesla should have advertised this more!
@@michaelfrank4321 Don't want to pre orders getting to wild yet.
Of course it's a joke
@@Jskis Sorry about your timing.. Will it work well for a 350 lb Texan? Do you take Venmo?
Nice touch with the electric servo audio dub!
Yup we used all natural sounds while filming for the final edit!
I was able to get a pair from the local Tesla dealer that had some connections. I used them to go uphill at a ski resort and the patrol kicked me off the mountain because they said I was a hazard and needed a lift ticket. Did some backcountry skiing, which worked well on well settled snow, but they bog down in any kind of soft snow and will only climb a low intermediate level slope. Packed snowmobile track on a road works great.
Please share your feedback to info@jskis.com we'd like to have you test the next round of prototypes!
damn cant wait for the velcro x tesla collab !!!
Working on that integration, will hopefully be available when pre-orders start!!
Now I don’t need back country bindings!
Pin bindings and skins are a thing of the past!
Ive been saying we need these for years so we dont have to give vail all our money to use their lifts. This is the first step to dissassembling the vail empire and bring back ski culture good job J ski ;)
TAKE DOWN VAIL!
KISS Vail BYE BYE Lift tickets over the top $$ Loy's of traffic jambs going up hill
Just found the spec sheet online. Each ski has 20 micro motors embedded in the P-Tex base. The white top sheet is a semi-hardened solar collector with a new Tesla invention that directs captured charge into battery that runs under the collector sheet. As the ski travels down a slope the micro motors switch to generator mode to recharge the battery.
You weren't supposed to leak those specs!!!
@@Jskis Sorry. There was a grey watermark on the sheet of COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL on the specs I saw. I see that at times on docs so did not think much of it. It was pulled when I went to look at it again. I think someone goofed. Thank you for the demonstration.
Yeah, sounds good, but in Germany they'll need to build in brake lights, a safety belt, headlamps and two independent brake systems, at least one of them to be mechanical. Last but not least, you're supposed to fix a license plate at the heel bindings.
I call demo dibs! 😂 Happy April fools! I need these though cause we are in government camp OR on Mt Hood for Spring break and i want to ski Multapor Ski Bowl 1 block away tonight!
Do it!! Skiing was epic this last weekend!
Congratulations, this is the funniest April fools video I've seen!!
Thank you... but this is real!!!
@@Jskiswe know it's a joke
We had those in the1970,s but the car batteries in a backpack were tough to balance with. I found if you wore Astral Tunes on your front, it sort of balanced out!!
Technology has come a long way in the last 50 years!
Ok let's see the underside! What's the propulsion system?
Skis meant to downhill 😅 but still curious what’s the pro comparing to the ski lift.
I will try them! For sure
They recharge your soul on the downhill.
Happy April 1st everyone!
But man ... would I buy those ski LOL.
Luckily you can! We'll be taking pre-orders this summer. All of the details are available on jskis.com
The skis are great. The only problem I had with them - they wouldn't connect to a charger at the alpine hut where I stayed and they run out of juice every time i try to ride uphill. I have to carry them up, and they are freaking heavy.
Make sure you have the regeneration feature turned on - they should gain battery strength when you reach downhill speeds for virtually unlimited laps!
Uphill runs in the terrain park are going to be mental.
unlimited hits! no more hiking rails and tiring yourself out
This will do for skiing what wheelies did for walking. Who walks anymore? I personally wheelie shoe everywhere I go 🙌
Beautiful. Bravooooo!!!
OMG, this would put the ski lift manufacturers outta biz. I laughed so hard! hahahahaha
$ 10. 00 one ride up hill..
@@daveridinger5656 stop, you're killing me!
Wow. This is absolutely incredible... Well done. Im dead rn - good luck to those who watch this past a certain day - im waiting for this to go viral later 🤣
Do the pressure sensors work with the Velcro bindings? Are there modular ski versions available?
velcro bindings will work, ZipIt tech has yet to be integrated but we're working on it
Well done.
How does the transmission of this device work, is it via Belt or is it?
when i first started watching i was like 'WHAT I WANT THOSE' and then about half way through i realised that it was April 1st when this was released
I was 2/3 of the way through the video and really trying to figure out how this works when I realized what day it is. Haha!
It works with batteries integrated under your boots, pressure sensors in front of the bindings and highly efficient motors for propellers at the tail of the ski! You can find all the details on jskis.com
@@Jskis Propellers? I thought it was jet powered, that's what the j in jski means right?
Great April Fool’s joke. There zero market for this but great video!
I'm super into this idea
Okay but this is actually the best one yet. Anyway you guys can put some Velcro Bindings on mine?
Yup! VelcroTek will work with the pressure sensors. We made sure Tesla knew to integrate it.
Oh~~~~, that's amazing.
The placement of the motor and battery seems to have been well placed considering the swing weight.
What is the power of the motor?
around 80KW at 5000rpm but we tuned it down a bit so it wasn't so aggressive
Great, now the Tesla charger lines are going to get longer, uh don’t worry I’m just charging my skis up to 80% quick ;)
Wireless charging via any tesla. They'll automatically charge on your way to the mountain!!!
@@Jskis alright I’m sold!
Hahahaha best comment 🤣
Years of development!
Lotta blood, sweat, and tears the last 2 years. So stoked this thing actually works!
This is up there with WestJet filling their cabins with helium to save on fuel.lmao
Ha! Honored to be alongside that legendary prank
Rope pulling the skier which has trivially been erased with digital video editing tools.
always wanted my skis to be at risk of exploding into fireballs when I crash
Adds a little ✨ spice ✨
So just like traditional skis?
It has FSD, it can’t crash.
Like a gas car would?
And a gasoline car wouldn’t?
This new technology is amazing
We truly live in a golden age of technology!
Somebody knows how does it works?
This is going to be sold out asap! Going viral Fast. 😮✅😂
Gorgeous! Let’s connect?
Sweet! My skis are solar powered
We have a solar attachment for these as well!
Is there a battery in each ski? If so, what happens when one stops and the other keeps going?
I admit I didnt watch the video.
Ok. I watched the video. Same ❓ as above.
You need to carry the battery charger with you to Charge in your car😊😊
Yes individual battery in each ski. It charges wirelessly in all Tesla models or you will need the charging adapter for none EVs
How did you do this? Well done.
Multiple years of R&D. It's been one of the most intense projects we've ever worked on but so stoked to see these come to life
I dunno, I'm skeptical, what's the range? I don't plan to take poles with me and don't want to get stuck on the flats.
I mean, I guess I could just call ski patrol and get airlifted out so would just probably do that regardless cuz these are sick
@@jameswegener6980 the battery regenerates when you reach downhill speeds for unlimited laps!
I think I saw the 7 charge ports.
If this were a real product, I'd 100% buy it, just the practicality of actually engineering something like this to work seems a little impossible without making the skis extremely bulky and 20 pounds heavier. Would it be something like a paddle or a track that the motor spins? and how do you make the motor actually grip into the snow?
When you figure it out, get it manufactured and release it on October 1st
E-skis are about 50% heavier than their analog siblings. Honestly way lighter than expected but still a learning curve. The electric motors spin small propellers that give you the thrust to go forwards
How many miles can you get off a full charge?
It's more about vertical gain than mileage. We're seeing around 6-7k of vert on a full charge, plus the batteries regenerate at downhill speeds so it's virtually unlimited once you get out there.
@@Jskis that’s excellent. Great for the environment too
@@Jskis Nice touch with the regenerative charging. Fun video, best April Fools one out there Thanks
🤣🤣🤣 Nicely done... could have worked a bit more on the patches...😉
Do they come with FSD!?
Yes but after many conversations with the FIS the FSD mode must be disabled during all competitions
Hmm, I suppose that would make for an easier slalom. AEB via s/w OTA would be helpful :)@@Jskis
Какая цена ?
Regen when u ski down? 😅
Sure does! Virtually unlimited range because of the downhill regeneration.
Also, still think the velcro bindings were a good idea! Haha 😂
We're working on velcro compatibility for this product as well!
i like to use it to avoid walking
Exactly, no more walking from your car to the mountain
Ha ha! Good one!
Jokes over, is this real or an april fools joke 😅
Real! More info available on our website.
Quiero 2!!
Y’all are to cool for school!!! Keep up the amazing work😮😮😂😂😅
thanks for the support!!! keep an eye out for pre-order info this summer
How does it work or is this just an April fools joke?
Nice joke, tomorrow you should release the behind the scenes making of this video showing how many takes it took to ski backwards so smoothly.
Pulled by cars and snowmobiles maybe...
We're be releasing more info about the development of this product as we get closer to the pre-order date for them! Keep an eye out.
How did they fake this!?
We didn't.
So y’all just so happened to post this on April first?
They are gonna drill the ocean now for more cobalt to make more EV batteries, hurr durr we saving the enviroment durrr
We've done the environmental studies, even with the cobalt needed these before more eco friendly than riding the chairlift after 100k of vert, which is about 1/2 the season for the average skier
The concept of e skis and snowboards is not novel. They'll never be useful anywhere except groomed slopes and low angle terrain.
We back country purists will never need to worry about these things catching us on the skin track the way ebikes do on the trails.
I've had tons of great backcountry laps on them this season! Sure, they'll never pull you up something that requires bootpacking, but I guarantee anything you can skin up these will be at least twice as fast.
This is yet another device for people who aren't fit enough to climb mountains. They'll be helpless and need to be rescued when they break down or the battery dies, same as with ebikes.
This fat country needs to end its addiction to motorized everything and get in shape.
how does it work? wheels ? hovering? you don’t show us
I think this is a well prepared joke
Electric motor
Electric motors with propellers in the snow
@@pete6705 electric motor has to move something (wheels, chain, etc)
@@Jskis this is so funny 🤣
Probably get more clicks if they showed the bases.
We're not able to release any details yet because we are waiting for patent approval. The electric market is extremely competitive and we can't take any chances of a different brand copying us
I thought hard if it's a joke or not. I guess it's not (maybe).
it's maybe not
The only comment that confused me was you saying "it's an innovative product with poor choice of release date". Sounded too real. @@Jskis
You know this guy is crying in a corner at the first sign of danger
danger is my middle name
Enseña el sistema de funcionamiento que ya estará patentado y nadie le va a copiar , jajajaja😂😂😂
Aku punya la percaya....hampeh terr....
1 апреля, но идея хорошая )
Yeah right, folks, nice try. But April 1st was already two months ago...
is this for real...what in the
Yup sure is! Get more details and pre-order info on jskis.com
As funny as this is imo electric skis will be the next big innovation in skiing. That or a robot that just pulls you where you want to go:)
the future is now!!!
BBBBUUUUUUHHHHHH u F I
Revenge of the nerds
He he he.
I’m calling BS unless you show me the bottom side of the skis as well. Total April Fools joke. Some nice CGI editing to remove the green rope pulling you along.😊
The patent on our prepeller technology is still pending, we'll release details when we can
Gee, nothing gets by you, Sherlock…
I know about one guy named powertraverse and he trying do something similar but it’s not that easy so I think this Tesla ski is a CAP 🙄
Have fun waiting in lift lines while we're shredding pow!
😂
Again, Jason collaborating with Elon pushes all boundaries. Any new Government programs available to help us land a pair of the Future of Skiing?
yes absolutely! There will be subsidies to help cover the up front investment plus you'll save thousands every year not buying lift tickets
THIS IS CHEATING. dont give these ski to a drunk guy for the love of god.
To *another drunk guy 😉
Tesla F-S-Ki 😂
gth
Wheres the motor. Wheres the battery. I call hoax.
People really didn't understand April fools. It's intended to fool fools. Like sending someone to the store to get macaroni plants. I mean come on, you should know better. Fooling someone into thinking a motor could be attached to a ski and move you forward on a flat, snow covered surface isn't that far fetched. Then consider the video is still up days later and you aren't thinking about April fools, because it's not.... Just annoying.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Broke my tibia that day. Hahahaha
shit son! Sorry to hear that - heal up quick!
Hilarious! Obviously fake! Lol!
Fake
Not that well crafted April Fool's joke. No one as a real skier who has new good skis would ski in a parking lot. Best way to ruin the skis.
way easier than walking to the lift in ski boots!
It's just skiing.
That's why they call them rock skis, a backup pair that you use under bad conditions.
@@PaulPukite And now they are.
@@davidcox2657 An April Fools joke in any case. Obviously a rope pulling the skier --invisible cuz it was erased with digital video editing tools.
