I have a bad case of ELECTRIC SnowDog envy....Anyone else?

LOW center of gravity is inherently stable.

Do you know what the ballpark $$ are on that machine Gunflint?
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

I wonder how fast the remote steering is to inputs. Electric actuators are known to be slow.

That thing is amazing. Quiet, powerful- and I imagine prohibitively expensive.  And I agree with you Gunflint, I want one too! Maybe they can give me one for a season, you know, to evaluate and review ;)

3 thing about this machine.
1-Not in production.
2-80 decibels at 3 ft is not that quite
3-when no price or availability is offered that means it’s way out of normal price range

Does nothing to reduce my appetite...I still want one, if only in my dreams.

I'd trade my snowdog ICE, for this snowdog......afraid it isn't actually being produced....

"Under 20 seconds to swap power source" yet they don't show it on video??? Maybe 20 minutes???

Also can be controlled remotely....yeah, I can just imagine it getting out of range and flying off a cliff, into an open section of water or into traffic.

Yup......and I still want one. I would love to see this industrialized and cheap.

I wouldn't buy an electric car, but an electric Dog....

I have to know a lot more about this product before I was even remotely interested in it.
While the videos make it look pretty good we know know any of the real details on this product such as:
What does it cost?
What kind of range does it have?
Does it actually hold up in real world situations when used by everyday people in the same situations shown on the video?
Etc etc.
It's pretty easy for me to Tote along a can of gas and top off my snowmobile when it runs low.
But it's very difficult for me to run an extension cord out across the lake.
That and when I'm at my remote cabin I'd hate to have to run a generator every night just to charge up my machine. Not sure that's a whole lot better than just putting gas in my machine to begin with.

I want both, that is an amazing setup, control from inside the house, sitting in a bean bag chair with a Mai Tai in one hand and a left handed cigarette in the other!
