Parce que ce vélo est principalement employé en hiver au Canada, les termes «vélo de neige», «vélo à neige» et «vélo d'hiver» sont parfois employés pour le désigner. Ces termes ne peuvent toutefois être considérés comme de véritables synonymes de «vélo à pneus surdimensionnés» étant donné que le vélo peut servir sur différentes surfaces. On trouve d'ailleurs aussi le terme «vélo des sables». 6, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9lo%20%C3%A0%20pneus%20surdimensionn%C3%A9s
