  • Last summer we turned a snowmobile into a dirt mobile in this video • Off Road Reverse Trike... Now that it is snowing again we wanted to see if we could make it a snow machine with snow tracks for an ATV or side by side.

    It’s not a dumb idea. Two track snow mobiles. Are for carrying supplies. If you put a small truck bed or some type of flat bed on the back. The added weight will help keep the tracks down. Plus you’ll be able to carry a small load. They use to make two track snowmobiles. Back when there were less roads in forested hard to get to regions.

    The only way this ride could be better is if you converted a side by side into a one man snowmobile.
    Solid Rear Single Swing Arm w/Traction Bars
    IFS with the option of removable drive wheels. So that they can swapped over to skis when needed. This ride needs floating fenders to help with Snow Roost. Maybe a VERY INVOLVED CREATION of a Dual Rear Swing Arm setup may make this more rideable and competitive. Great work guys!

    Where the swing arm pivot is, replace the stiff arms you made with a rubber trunion snubber, which will allow it to still pivot, but return to it’s ‘neural position’, allowing it to compensate for changes in terrain.....

    Being as I used to an avid snowmobile enthusiast. at first I thought it would be twice as good as a regular snowmobile, with the twin tracks. but it wasn't long before Ethan convinced me that it wasn't probably such a good snowmobile. a person would think traction would be really good but not so much. I don't recommend high marking with that sled.

    You should use the engine in something fast. But build a 4x4 tracked crawler recovery vehicle with the tracks. Something meant to go slower, with plenty of gearing, but with a winch and boom. Use propane for fuel so it always starts? You could do snowmobile recoveries too. But you could have a snow overland rig with a sled for it too. Just a thought.

    i was a Polaris tech in northern wisconsin in the 1990's. im NOT sure of the manufacturers name right now, but there was a 2 track snowmobile called THE RAIDER! you sit IN it like a convertible car.
    if you put a tunnel or 2 tunnels on it, you would control the snow on your back.
    the dealership i worked at had 30 rentals so i had to go out each morning, sometimes at 20 below zero and pull start 30 sleds to warm them up, the electric start was for customers only.
