The Inertia

Germans are notoriously good at building precision motors. Usually, though, the motors are in a vehicle of some kind. Mathis Ox, a German man who, if one were to judge by his Instagram, likes vans, motors, and snowboarding, is a good example of that German ingenuity.

Using the engine from a 50 cc pocket bike, an old snowboard, and a whole bunch of elbow grease and brain power, he managed to turn a snowboard into a tiny, foot-mounted snow machine. And while the end result doesn’t seem all that impressive, the build itself sure is.
