Ski-Doo hydrogen powered sled. Do you think we will ever see one?

Bombardier designs new generation of snowmobile to run on hydrogen - The Globe and Mail


Interesting concept. 888cc 2 smoke also very interesting

A two stroke that won't smell like oil or gas??? We would be missing out on something here.............................................the first smells of winter when we initially pull the cord or push the button and the clouds come out in the shop.

I'd be very happy with a 888cc 2stroke etec with 180-190hp.

Me too! The Hydrogen powered one they built is only 144hp though. Maybe they have a gas powered version??

I hope so, along with a different chassis design, that's down right ugly, reminded me of a droid from Star Wars! Lol

You won't have to wait long the new engine should be in the snow checks this spring
872 or slightly larger is coming for 17

I guess we will see what happens in a few months.

Concept to commercial is a long way off, but not impossible. If sleds progressed as quickly as drones... we would be riding 200 HP sleds that weigh 300#'s and could fly...

I won't miss that part.

How about a propane powered engine. At least you can buy propane most places. If a 2 stroke will work on hydrogen it should be able to work on propane.

Volk built propane turbo kits , propane is great. It has high octane but tanks are a b!tch.

Why wouldn't it smell like oil? Doesn't a 2 stroke still need lubrication? Is carbon monoxide the only pollutant as the article suggests? If so then a better tuned motor reduces this greatly. Carbon dioxide still exists with carbon based fuels though.

This article sounds incomplete to me.

You can have a two stroke engine with a oil sump.

I want a sled powered by nuclear fusion. One fuel rod would last you for years and be super lightweight.

And...maybe if your lucky....you will glow in the dark after a day's ride.

At 746 watts per horsepower.......holy crap that thing would move!
