Another snowmobile!

Well, sort of, it's "a design best described as an electric tracked locomotive tractor sled thingy."

Thinking outside of the box. Not such a bad thing. Consider that if it was incorporated into a sled chassis.... minimal rotating mass, huge torque, very low centre of gravity. If battery technology gets over issues of storage capacity limitations and cost you will see huge gains and interact combustion engines will decline.

Always good when some tries something different. Looks like he / she did more R&D this year than Yamaha.

Thats cool!!! I would buy one if its not too expensive.

Looks like it would be fun.... as long as it can't flip back and land on your face!

Hopefully it comes with a tether.

Looks like an antique concept. Check out the Bolens Diablo Rouge

Was at a classic snowmobile show yesterday that had a Bolens running. Helmet was in my hands on my hip so not the best video.
