Riding Times Snow Track Kit (3000W Peak Track Drive, 92.3 N·m, Fits GT73 / GT73 Pro / GT54 / GT54 Pro)

A Rubber Track Where the Rear Wheel Was. A Ski Where the Front Wheel Was. Your GT73 or GT54 Stops Being a Winter Storage Problem.

Every year, somewhere around the second week of December, a very expensive machine gets wheeled into a Canadian garage and left there until April. That is the actual problem this kit solves. The Riding’times Snow Track Kit replaces the rear wheel with a driven rubber track and the front wheel with a steering sledge, turning a GT-series electric motorbike into a tracked snow machine for the four or five months a fat tire spends spinning uselessly in powder.

The track assembly is not a passive roller — it carries its own drive motor, published by Riding’times at peak 3,000W producing 92.3 N·m measured at the wheel edge, riding on front and rear shock absorbers and built from A3 carbon steel with PA66 structural plastic. Where a 4-inch fat tire concentrates a 116-pound bike onto two narrow contact patches and digs in, a track spreads that load across its full footprint and floats. That is the entire mechanical argument, and it is a sound one.

It is also a heavy, permanent-feeling conversion rather than a bolt-on: about 30 kg (66 lb) net, shipped in a 915 × 280 × 580 mm crate, and fitting it means pulling both wheels, both brakes, the fenders and the kickstand off your bike. We have written the honest version of that below, including the two things Riding’times publishes that most retailers would quietly leave off a product page.

Watch the Conversion Before You Order

This is Riding’times’ own unboxing and assembly walkthrough for the RT1 snow kit, published on their official channel. We link it instead of a review because it answers the question that actually decides whether this purchase works out: what you have to do after the crate arrives. Watch it first. If the wiring step looks like more than you want to take on, call 1-866-938-7580 and we will walk you through it at no charge in your first month.

Why a Track Beats a Fat Tire Once the Snow Is Deep

Fat tires are genuinely good on packed snow. They are poor in deep snow, and the reason is contact area. Here is what the track actually changes for a Canadian rider:

• Flotation is a surface-area problem, and a track has more surface area. A 25″ motorcycle tire puts the bike’s weight through a contact patch a few inches long. The track assembly spreads the same load along its full length, which is why it rides on top of powder where a tire cuts down through it and stops. Riding’times publishes the track expanded at 765.6 × 244.4 × 505.8 mm — a 244 mm wide belt against a 3–4 inch tire.
• Traction stops depending on how hard you are willing to spin the wheel. On snow a single driven tire breaks loose, digs a hole, and buries itself. Track lugs bite continuously along their length, so drive force arrives as forward motion rather than as a hole in the snow. This is the same reason snowmobiles are tracked and not tired.
• The ski does the steering the front tire cannot. A front wheel in deep snow either plows or knifes; neither steers. The front sledge is shaped to carve, and Riding’times’ installation guide reattaches your existing front brake assembly to the sledge mount, so you keep front braking rather than losing it.
• Front and rear shocks are not a luxury on frozen ground. Snow hides ruts, frozen ridges and buried rocks. The kit carries suspension at both ends, which is what keeps a fixed-frame conversion from beating the rider — and, on a GT54 Pro, Riding’times specifies the rear shock goes in the second mounting hole, not the first. Getting that wrong is their most commonly flagged installation error.

Key Features

• Driven Rubber Track Assembly — Peak 3,000W, 92.3 N·m at the Wheel Edge — The track is powered, not towed. It replaces the rear wheel entirely and carries its own drive motor at a published peak of 3,000W. The 92.3 N·m figure is measured at the wheel edge, which is a different measurement point from the 338 N·m Riding’times quotes at the GT73 Pro’s hub — do not read the two numbers as a downgrade, read them as measured in different places through different gearing.
• Steering Front Sledge — Replaces the front wheel and fork assembly’s wheel, carrying your existing front brake assembly onto the sledge mount. Expanded dimensions are 867.5 × 226 × 378.5 mm. On snow this is what converts handlebar input into an actual change of direction instead of a plow.
• Front and Rear Shock Absorbers — Suspension at both ends of the conversion, included in the kit rather than sold separately. This is the difference between a machine you can ride for an hour on rutted, frozen ground and one you stop riding after ten minutes.
• Track Battery Bar — A dedicated structural bar that mounts as part of the conversion. Riding’times’ installation guide describes it as providing “the necessary rigidity to handle the unique lateral forces generated by the track system” — a track loads a frame sideways in ways a wheel never does.
• A3 Carbon Steel and PA66 Construction — Steel where the loads are and PA66 nylon where the wear and the cold are. PA66 is a named engineering polymer rather than unspecified “high-strength plastic”, which is worth something on a part that spends its life at −20°C.
• Fully Reversible — Your wheels, tires and brake assemblies come off and go back on. This is a seasonal conversion, not a permanent modification — keep the boxed wheels through winter and reverse the process in spring.
• Fits Four Riding Times Models — GT73, GT73 Pro, GT54 and GT54 Pro. Riding’times states the two Pro models are better suited; the comparison table below sets out exactly why, using their published specs.

Everything Included

• Rear driven track assembly (peak 3,000W drive motor)
• Front steering sledge
• Front and rear shock absorbers
• Track battery bar
• Mounting hardware — bolts, screws and axle nuts

Contents list compiled from the components Riding’times’ own installation guide fits during the conversion; they do not publish a packing list. Installation is required and is a full front-and-rear conversion. Their published tool list: 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm Allen keys, an adjustable wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, heavy-duty cable ties, wire snips and a bike stand. Riding’times does not publish an installation time, so we do not quote one. Everything without a special remark ships black by default.

The Honest Take — What We’d Change

Three trade-offs worth knowing before you buy:

1. It is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and Riding’times says so in writing. Their warranty page reads: “Accessories and parts orders are not covered by warranty,” and separately excludes damage caused by incorrect or improper installation. On a part at this price that you wire into your own drivetrain yourself, that is a real exposure and we are not going to bury it in a policy link. What you do get is Zeus’s 1-month complimentary limited warranty and a month of unlimited free support — including help getting the install right the first time, which is the failure mode that actually costs people money here.
2. Your payload ceiling drops by about a third. The GT73 and GT73 Pro are each rated to a 330 lb maximum load on wheels. The kit is rated to a 100 kg (220 lb) design load, and the lower number governs once it is fitted. There is also a 40 kg (88 lb) design minimum — unusual, and worth checking if the intended rider is a lighter teen on a GT54. Weigh the rider geared up and check both ends of that band before ordering.
3. The non-Pro bikes are compatible rather than well matched. Riding’times’ own words: the GT73 and GT54 “have lower motor output, so speed and overall performance may be reduced when using this accessory.” Their published controller specs line up with that reading — 60V 40A on both Pro models against 48V 30A on the GT73 and 48V 32A on the GT54. If you own a non-Pro bike the kit will fit and work; set your expectations to the manufacturer’s stated caveat rather than to the headline 3,000W figure.

Those trade-offs are worth accepting for one specific owner: someone who already owns a GT-series machine, has private land or a closed course to ride on, and is currently losing four to five months of the year to storage. For that owner this is the highest-value accessory in the Riding Times catalogue. For anyone else, it is a lot of money and a lot of installation for a machine they cannot legally ride anywhere convenient.

Full Specifications

Who Is This Kit For?

• GT73 Pro and GT54 Pro owners with land to ride on — This is the intended buyer, in Riding’times’ own words. A 60V 40A controller and a 3,000W peak bike motor give the conversion the headroom the manufacturer says it wants. See the GT73 Pro → and the GT54 Pro →
• Riders on acreage, bush lots, trap lines and private trails — Land you own or occupy is where this machine belongs, and under Ontario’s Motorized Snow Vehicles Act it is also the one place a permit is not required. If you already ride a GT-series bike on a woodlot in summer, this is what keeps it working in February. See our electric dirt bike guide for Canada →
• Owners who are tired of paying for five months of storage — A GT73 Pro is a $2,899 machine that spends December to April not moving. The economics of a winter conversion are simply better on a bike you already own than on a second vehicle you would have to buy, insure and store.
• People who actually enjoy the wrenching — This is a genuine two-end teardown and rebuild with a wiring step in the middle. If the phrase “match the phase wire colours” sounds like a good Saturday rather than a warning, you will get on with it well.

Who it’s NOT for: Riders who need to be legal on public roads or municipal trails — this conversion moves further away from street-legal, not toward it; see road-legal eBikes at Zeus → instead. Riders over the 220 lb geared-up design load, or under the 88 lb design minimum — the kit is not rated for you and no amount of enthusiasm changes that. Owners of the Z8, the GT33, or any non-Riding Times bike — it does not fit; browse the full Riding Times lineup → or call us. Anyone who wants a warranty on the part — there is not one, and if that is a dealbreaker it should be a dealbreaker before you order, not after. Riders who mostly face packed snow and salted paths rather than deep powder — a fat tire is the better and far cheaper tool; see our fat-tire buying guide → and our Canadian winter eBike guide →

N/P = not published by the manufacturer. Watt-hour figures are calculated by Zeus from Riding’times’ published voltage and amp-hour ratings (volts × amp-hours × number of packs); Riding’times does not publish Wh directly. Power figures are manufacturer peak ratings except the GT73, for which Riding’times publishes 1,200W nominal / 2,400W peak. “Max Load With Kit Fitted” is the kit’s own 100 kg design load, which is lower than the GT73 and GT73 Pro’s 330 lb on-wheel rating and therefore governs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Riding Times bikes does the Snow Track Kit fit?

Riding’times lists four compatible models: GT73, GT73 Pro, GT54 and GT54 Pro. They also publish a caveat worth reading before you order, in their own words: “GT73 PRO and GT54 PRO feature higher motor power and are better suited for use with the snow track kit, delivering stronger performance and higher speeds. GT73 and GT54 have lower motor output, so speed and overall performance may be reduced when using this accessory.” The kit physically fits all four. On the two non-Pro bikes you should expect less speed and less punch in deep snow. It does not fit the Z8, the GT33, or any non-Riding Times bike. See the full Riding Times lineup →

Does the kit include its own motor and controller?

The track assembly carries its own drive motor — Riding’times publishes it as peak 3,000W with 92.3 N·m of torque measured at the wheel edge. The controller is a different story. Riding’times lists “Controller: DIY” in the kit’s own spec table without explaining it, and their published GT54 Pro installation guide describes reconnecting the track’s motor phase wires and hall and speed sensors to the bike’s existing controller rather than fitting a new one. That reads as: the bike’s controller drives the track, and no controller ships in the box. Because Riding’times does not state it plainly, we will not either. Call 1-866-938-7580 before you order and we will confirm it for your exact model and model year.

How much weight can the bike carry once the kit is fitted?

The kit is the limiting part, not the bike. Riding’times rates the Snow Track Kit at a 100 kg (220 lb) design load, where the GT73 and GT73 Pro are each rated to a 330 lb maximum load on wheels. Fitting the kit therefore drops your rated ceiling by roughly a third, and that ceiling covers rider plus clothing plus anything strapped to the bike. There is also a design minimum load of 40 kg (88 lb), which matters if a light teen rider is the intended user of a GT54 — below that figure Riding’times does not rate the system, so check the rider’s geared-up weight against both ends of that band.

Is a bike with the Snow Track Kit fitted legal to ride in Canada?

Not on public roads, and the tracks change which rulebook applies. The GT73, GT73 Pro, GT54 and GT54 Pro already exceed the Power-Assisted Bicycle limits every province converges on — 500W nominal, assist ending at 32 km/h, operable pedals — so none of them is street-legal as a bicycle to begin with. Once you fit a track and a front ski, the machine also answers to the description of a motorized snow vehicle: Ontario’s Motorized Snow Vehicles Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.44, s.1 defines one as “a self-propelled vehicle designed to be driven primarily on snow.” Under that Act a permit is required to drive one, except on land occupied by the owner (s.2(1)), and a trail permit is required on a prescribed trail, again except on owner-occupied land (s.2.1(1)). Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation additionally requires a valid driver’s licence or MSVOL, proof of ownership and insurance, and an approved snowmobile helmet for driver and passengers. In practice this is a private-land and closed-course machine. Rules differ province to province — confirm yours before you ride anywhere but your own property, and never ride on someone else’s land without permission. Canadian eBike laws by province →

How hard is the installation, and can I switch back to wheels in spring?

It is a full front-and-rear conversion, not a bolt-on accessory. Riding’times’ own installation guide has you remove the battery, saddle, rear wheel, rear brake caliper, rear fender, kickstand, front wheel and front brake assembly, then fit the rear track assembly, the track battery bar, the rear shock and the front sledge, and reconnect the motor phase wires and the hall and speed sensors. Their published tool list is a 4, 5 and 6 mm Allen set, an adjustable wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, heavy-duty cable ties, wire snips and a bike stand. Riding’times does not publish an installation time, so we will not invent one. Yes, it reverses — you keep your wheels and brakes and refit them in spring. If the wiring step is more than you want to take on, call 1-866-938-7580 and we will walk you through it at no charge in your first month.

What warranty covers the Snow Track Kit?

We would rather you hear this from us than find it out later. Riding’times’ published warranty page states plainly: “Accessories and parts orders are not covered by warranty.” Their 1-year all-inclusive manufacturer’s warranty applies to complete electric bikes and scooters, not to add-on kits. Their same page also excludes damage caused by incorrect or improper installation. What you do get is Zeus’s own 1-month complimentary limited warranty plus one month of unlimited free support from delivery, including help with the install itself. Optional Zeus extended plans are available: 1 year $119, 2 years $229, 3 years $339, 5 years $599 →. Call 1-866-938-7580 and confirm current Riding’times terms with us before you buy.

What about road salt, ice and maintenance?

Riding’times is direct about this in their own installation guide, and their advice is worth following: wipe the track and sledge down after every ride to stop ice building up, re-check bolt tightness regularly because vibration on uneven snow loosens hardware, and avoid salted roads because salt degrades the rubber track and corrodes the motor casing. That last point is the one Canadians tend to learn the expensive way. This kit is built for snow-covered ground, not for the salted, slushy shoulder of a municipal road. Riding’times does not publish an IP rating for the kit, so treat the electrical connections as splash-resistant rather than sealed. Canadian winter eBike guide →

Can I finance it, and what is the return policy?

Yes — Zeus offers financing; see the eBike financing guide → or call 1-866-938-7580 for current terms before ordering. Returns are accepted within 15 days on unused, unopened items, subject to a 15% restocking fee, with return shipping paid by the customer. That window matters more than usual on this product: once the kit is installed it is neither unused nor unopened, so decide before you cut the first cable tie. Full terms are on the Zeus refund policy page →

Are there customer reviews for the Snow Track Kit yet?

Not at Zeus — this is a new addition to our catalogue and we are not going to show you review counts we do not have. What we can offer instead is Riding’times’ own unboxing and assembly video above, a spec table where every figure they do not publish is marked as not published rather than guessed, and a phone call: 1-866-938-7580. Tell us which bike you own, the rider’s geared-up weight, and the ground you plan to ride, and we will tell you honestly whether this kit is the right purchase or whether you are better served putting the money elsewhere.
