Snappy Hank Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Hey Iceman, Check out the April 8th issue of Snowgoer magazine! Looks like a nice economic boom for shawinagin. Looks like they are going to manufacture sleds and PWC‘s in a new facility to be 340,000 ft.² . They are claiming production of up to 80,000 units per year, in a couple of years down the road. Sounds exciting for the industry. Hank Edited April 9, 2021 by Snappy Hank PLAYHARD, dooright, Blueblood and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Yes Hank big deal for Shawinigan. The sleds look great and ride reviews have been great too. When they can make one good for 300 miles on a single charge, it will be much more interesting. https://taigamotors.ca/ i’ve been in contact with them and have offered to long term test any sled they need beat on. We shall see if I get one. MrGutz, PLAYHARD, Blueblood and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore1066 Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Where I work the new Bobcat electric lawn mowers came in. No belts. Each moving component has its own motor. Good for 6 hour's of mowing on a charge. It really just hums when the mowers are engaged. They have sold them all that have came in. The 72 inch goes for 35 thousand plus. I told them I would demo them anytime. Should be interesting. dooright and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjack Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) What would our electric service and panels look like if these were all electric? Plus our electric Super Dutys, SXSs? Wife's trucks or cars? Imagine the stress on our grids with an inverse mix of fossil fuel vehicles to all electric. Hell even 60/40 fossil fuel to electric mix. All bolstered by unreliable "renewables". In an ever colder world "saved" from Anthropogenic Global Warming by eliminating fossil fuels. Think TX in record cold without enough electricity X orders of magnitude. Imagine lunch at Repos or overnight at 100 Lacs with an Octopus of 220v wires charging up the sleds off the grid. #energystupidity Edited April 11, 2021 by actionjack Le Finca, nyskidooerinnewhampshire, PLAYHARD and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford currently does this with its F150's running on those ecoblow engines. You can use forscan software to shut it off. 16 hours ago, Shore1066 said: How about a wind mill mounted to the front bumper. A stretch...but while at a gas station fueling up during moose hunting season, a fellow pulled in towing a utility trailer on which was a 5 cubic foot freezer and a small generator which was running to keep the freezer going. The small generator would burn very little fuel. Tow one behind your electric sled and charge as you go. Works for locomotives too - diesel to dc electric. mikerider and jak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 35 k for a lawn mower, no thanks, I think I will never get close to that in a lifetime of mowing my lawn.I can see AstroTurf putting these guys out of business.
