We Ride The Taiga Atlas Electric Snowmobile!

[@northwash]

Just remember these sleds are really in their infancy stage. These will be great today for things like hotels, ski resorts etc. They won't have to replace them every 3 to 4 years like a two-stroke, won't have to deal with oil and gas, they have inside storage and the ability to Quick charge which only takes 20 minutes. Perfect solution for them.

If you replace every 4 years because you wear it out you’ll replace electric also, you’ll have minimal charge capacity left. 2 stroke is easy and cheap to rebuild, battery is easy and expensive to swap.

The downfall is winter I make a lot less energy. Being lake access though I only need to travel 5km, then a few more to ice fish and get firewood. So it maybe possible to get by for the weekend.

Great video. I love the sound of the Atlas. It actually reminds me of high end RC cars. Taiga's success will hinge on their ability to find the right target markets.

[@simonbelanger7842]

it does have regen the gains from regen on any vehicle are very minimal, if its brake lever activated it helps but if theirs auto regen when off throttle, the momentum loss that has to be regained with throttle uses more power than if you were just to coast off throttle, but I'm sure all of this can be programmed to your preferenc remotely by taiga

the site says the top battery pack is good for 140 kms of range..."in ideal conditions". Half the time I go out I put on at least 180-200 kms to up to 300 in a day so unfortunately it wouldn't be good for me.

Well the snowmobile is certainly a feat of engineering for the future of the sport but it seem's very exclusive to riding in areas near towns (power) and nice groomed trails. I cant see myself trusting a fully electric power plant to get into the mountains and explore. There is a market for them, but it wont go far with the big three manufacturers having the sleds they do.

[@kai-uweoch1159]

The one aspect I really appreciate is the low noise level. As a motorcycle rider I understand well the fun aspect of riding a snow scooter ( I have so far only been twice riding one myself) , but as a nature lover I like the silence out there in winter time. In some areas in Sweden it looks like the snow mobile rental industry has really taken over the landscape in winter, very much to the annoyance of everyone who is out there to enjoy the landscape in silence. On top of that, many Nowegians are taking their snowmobiles over to Sweden. In Norway riding is banned mostly anywhere, vice versa in Sweden, so there is A LOT of snow mobile traffic in some regions. Sadly I doubt that electric scooters will be widely accepted within the foreseeable future.

I can see what any other snowmobile will cost, I'm not interested in Taiga until I can see numbers. They announced releases in the past that didn't happen, I have been following Taiga from the beginning, so I'm still skeptical. Show me the numbers Taiga - I skipped buying a new spring order this year because I wasn't excited about the other brands' "innovations" - but this is truly exciting.

Very cool, a real issue initially will be being able to find charging station on the trails. With Gas, bars and restaurants can offer a gas pump where 100's of sleds during the day can fill up within minutes. With electric even a fast charge will take 30mins, and limited by the number of charging stations at that location. So i dont think we will see very many of these on the trails for another 10+ years.

OK great review! But there are still so many unanswered questions. Right from the get go if you go to their website to inquire about Spring order. They only tell you the starting price of $15000. You have no idea what the sled will cost with the larger engine and the top suspension package. Could be well over $20000. Also With prior snowmobiles we have a track record and we know the durability of the motors and what kind of mileage we can expect if it's built properly and maintained properly. And E Tech you can easily get 8 to 10000 miles before any rebuild. 900 Ace 20,000-30,000... How long do these motors last and other components before needing replacement. How many miles and charges will you get out of the batteries over the lifetime. These are serious questions that need to be answered and be comparable to present sleds. How can they expect us to spend $20000 on a sled with so little information besides your review? If money was no object, sure I'd slap it down right now...

But what do you do after the first hour ?

[@peterlindsay2869]

My question is how fast do they go? And more importantly how long does the battery hold a charge. (If ridden hard.)

[@JWyaMovieTime]

They didn't talk speed for a reason and the description says 140 KM (eighty some miles) under optimal conditions - i.e., not sport mode on a flat trail.

[@Captndarty]

Zero altitude degradation and clutch adjustments. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@CraigSmerda]

that is an excellent point on altitude - bravo!

As an auto mechanic I wonder about the reliability and cost of maintenance. Electronic components can add up quickly. And also what about diagnostics? Does this thing have to go to a shop just to have a $10000.00 scan tool to read codes? If it's anything like car's forget it. I'll stick to my 2strokes.

Front end is original rev esque and I like it

[@DawsonPerron]

I think that it would be cool if they had an accessory that mounted to the tunnel that was another battery kinda like an extra gas tank with like another 40 miles or so on it

[@hermitrob5481]

Cool innovation, but will only be feasible to an extremely small market for years and years to come, if ever. The infrastructure necessary to maintain a large northern market seems almsot undoable. I for one just could never give up the scream of a 2 stroke. The smell of a 2 stroke. I dare say I'm not alone.

140 km range...I'm gona wait a bit on this,as a hunter I'm away from home on sled anywhere from 20km-200kms,can I charge it with a generator?

[@Echoes-]

This is the future for sure, really nice to see some big innovations in this industry.

[@owenliedtke7059]

How long does the battery last like I ride for like 6 hours in a day will it lasted that long like filling up with gas take 2 minutes and your back rideing

[@pavmentsurfer13]

Its in the description

[@FredVreeman]

I could not find a link to the Nomad video - can you send it to me?

[@airman6822]

Range!! I agree, I was waiting the whole time for some sort of range. Even if it's an estimate, are we talking 25 miles or 250 miles?

[@pavmentsurfer13]

Read the description

[@bedlambikes]

They claim 85 miles on concrete hard pack. When it comes to deep fresh snow, that number will unfortunately drop HARD.

[@allinaday3526]

@@bedlambikes yea ,the range in deep snow will be bad!

[@BTHAlaska]

Range? Weight? And can it be charged with a regular 120 outlet?
