TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a detachable motorized track system for sports apparatus, and, more particularly, to a detachable motorized track system for a snowboard adapted to be carried in a backpack.

BACKGROUND

Snowboard users typically must spend hundreds of dollars per season for lift tickets in order to be towed up a mountain in order to snowboard down. It would be economically advantageous for such users to be able to power their snowboards up a mountain using a power device. Such devices have been proposed, but the state-of-the-art lacks a useful, stable device which can be detached and stored in a backpack for a ride down with a power pack that can be recharged, as necessary.

The present invention overcomes the failings of the prior art.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

This summary is provided to introduce, in a simplified form, a selection of concepts that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.

Here disclosed is an electronically controlled detachable motorized track system for a snowboard having front and rear baseplates sized to fit in a backpack with right and left motorized tracks having a length extending beyond the front and rear baseplates from proximate the rear of a snowboard to proximate the front of a snowboard and beyond the front and rear baseplates, each adapted for wrapping around drive rollers and freely rotating rear rollers. A hand controller wirelessly controls the tracks.
