You can tow freely as long as the snowmobile is fully turned off.

Tell her that you will buy this snowmobile for her. It always works. You can add phrases like "for your birthday" or "for the anniversary" for better results.

That button you said was regen is heating adjustemt for the handles😊

At 621lbs, high price, low range (100km) and hp. I don’t see these doing very well. Until battery’s become lighter and more powerful I don’t see these as viable option. I know with a N/A sled, you loose hp at higher elevations and the CVT eats up a good chunk of HP. Range is not long enough for both trail and back country and weighs way too much.

Yeah. But you really can’t get more power out of lighter batteries. E=MC^2 kind of proves it.

60 miles of range? Thats a fun toy to go around a frozen lake.. not for actual trail riding.

for the first time myself I got to try an electric snowmobile 2018 Aurora Powertrains was its manufacturer

Yes, a video of the electric jet ski sounds great.

As with the majority of "world's first" claims these days, this is a long, LONG way from being the first. Finnish manufacturer Aurora Powertrains has been making electric snowmobiles they call eSleds since 2017. These are very cool and very welcome, but they are NOT the first.

Making? Aurora Powertrains has not made any sled, they have used an ordinary Lynx and simply replaced the gas engine with an electric motor and added a battery and some new stickers...

It doesn’t interest me that you cannot pick up the back of the machine We all know that the first step normally is when you get stuck not sure what you could do with the electric one

There's actually an additional fee of a gym membership when you buy this cause that deadlift gotta be 300+ pounds.

Cambry- let the man buy one! Especially being in Utah, it will definitely get used! These are awesome, I will definitely be looking into getting one!

I'm looking at buying the Orca (their seadoo) so yes I would love a review!

While the idea of this is cool and I'm all in on electric future the range is a huge issue for snowmobiles. a normal trail ride for me is a couple hundred miles through the back woods with super small pumps for sleds but no space to charge. I think hitting about 250 miles of range on a electric snowmobile will be a must as its not realistic to get charging stations out in the woods. it is exciting to see companies working on this but I think its going to be a small market for a long time.

I was looking for this comment. Yeah you can't trail ride with these. I dont think electric snowmobiles really work

They can put small eletrict generators like Turbolent Hydro's one. Snow = water, so they will work just fine

I like it! The price is high but I would think the competition is going to come and bring the price down - the competition will come. I really appreciate the vid - just a great job. A little concerned about the towing capacity - you have the weight AND the resistance of the snow - and going uphill in that terrain.

Hey Zack you forgot to tell where it’s from! It’s from the home of snowmobile, Québec Canada! I love that they chose you to talk about it!

you probably should mention that gas snowmachines have a range of 200 miles while electic has 60. Also you can carry a gas can just in case. For a offroading vehicle, its not a good idea to go electric. Last time i checked, no tree has a tesla charger.

I'd be very surprised if there _wasn't_ a tree with a Tesla charger. Having said that, it's not something you'd be very likely to come across in the wild.

Interesting , Thank You. The main problem I see is RANGE . As an electric the power has to be GENERATED and transmitted . I admit that oil and gas also have to be transported .

Just remind your lovely wife Cambry what this channel enables you to provide for her and your young child. I think that you deserve it 100%... Every item that I have seen you build has always been very practical. I am sure that this electric snowmobile would easily transport your family on a beautiful snowy adventure...

I can't get enough of this series...

Ahahaha, what a joke. We've had electric powered snowmobiles for years and years in Lapland. I remember we had them at least as far back as 2015 in commercial use

Don't really know what kind of snowmobiles you had, but modern fuel injected snowmobiles start very reliably and don't require much maintenance. Snowmobiles have large fuel tanks (40 liters) as gas stations can be very far apart, which is a massive problem for an electric snowmobile which severely limits where you can go. That's a problem as electric charging stations aren't right next to snowmobile paths.

"Good for search and rescue"... but the guy you rescue dies in the cold as the battery dies out in the middle of nowhere.

If you bought 2 of these, they would make a great Christmas present for you and Cambry
