New electric snow machine.

andrec999 · Feb 20, 2014

A new snow machine, MTT-136, invented by Yvon Martel is all battery charged. It is strong enough to push a van. It is used with a trailer type sled. Quite interesting. I want one .:licking:

It could be used in the summer also as an ATV with a trailer. The inventor is looking for a manufacturer and investors.

Inventor? Inventor is something new. An electric motor and a battery pack IS NOT new or news.
Anybody here know about energy storage density.
Electric snowmobile, what a pathetic joke.

I think it's pretty dang cool! Now picture a similar model with a big snowmobile engine and a rubber tractor tread at a tractor pull! I'd pay to see that!

Then , do you mind showing us where you seen it before.

I don't know anything about energy storage density but I do have some pics of something similar. I like the electric one better

It's different and NOVEL enough to get some patents issued. I like it. Can see a few applications. Ice rescue in our state could be big…..can see some fire department needs. Moving fish houses? Recovery needs.

Canadian Armed forces is currently wasting $$$ on an electric stealth snowmobile . Didn't you know about it ?

Foggy1111 and Jdonly need to be informed about the laws of physics and battery theory.

That seems very cool, however I would put a fender over the top of the tracks, because if you were thrown forward over the handlebars, you would most likely be pulled under, but I guess if that happens you are in trouble to begin with!
