Saw this on the web today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcIwrdeP21s Could really use one of these right now. I'll have to keep an eye out if someone picks up the manufacturing of it. Seems like it would be a great seller.

Sitting at ground level two feet behind that track seams like a good way to end up soaked and cold... I'll stick with a snowmobile I can sit on, where the roost goes behind you instead of your own face.

wonder how well it would do in thick slush. looks like you would get good and wet. I do like

Are there any electric snowmobiles yet?

Jimbows · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 18, 2014, 03:44 PM »

I don't care if it's snowy and cold...I need one asap.

Awesome machine . They did a great job on the video minus the French and bad music . Real neat that it has a 110 plug.

exactly what i was thinking. you'd think they'd have some sort of "snow flap" on the back.

what are your thoughts on price? i'm betting $4000+

That cool

Did anyone see how long a charge would last?

Definitely a cool idea.

Towards the end of the video they gave a range of times...

Without some sort of mud flap it wouldn't be very fun having to dump out your sled after you get to your spot.
If it's a wet slushy snow it would be even worse!

I suppose that if you had a cover over your sled, it would help, but somehow having snow and slop thrown in your face just isn't my cup of tea!

WANNABFISHIN · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 19, 2014, 07:57 AM »

looks like it would be great for trapping
not so great headed up the lake for 5 miles to go ice fishing

would you have to register it?

stripernut · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 19, 2014, 10:57 AM »

I am sure that you would need to register (motorized vehicle)... As for the snow and slush in the face, I would not need to run it at a speed that it would be a problem, but I am sure a "flap" could be worked out...

Google Bolen's Diablo Rouge if you want to see background.
