SHOT ENGINE STARTING TECHNOLOGY
Still the sweetest bit of technology to emerge from the 2018 mountain sled season—maybe even still the sweetest for 2019. It’s tough to beat push-button starting with barely a weight penalty. After an initial pull-start for the first ride of the day, the engines charges an ultra-capacitor. Once that is charged, all you have to do is push the SHOT button on the handle-bars and the sled fires up. The stored energy in the ultracapacitor turns the magneto into an electric motor that turns the crank.
