Widescape - The first-ever stand-up snowmobile

[jessefarquhar]

This is awesome!! The next installment should be some type of a foldable chair that is sturdy enough to stand on when not needed. I can't wait to try one of these.

This honestly looks amazing. I like to ride out from our cabin (there are trails right behind us) and go for a few hours and come back in. No need to run for 8 hours. Looks like a fun ride.

I don't know about a whole day of riding, but definitely looks like a new fun way to ride.

Was good to see the rollout this spring with lots of new user footage. I’m ready to buy, wondering what glitches were revealed in the first couple months. I gathered there was an airflow issue, causing plastics to melt…

I'm sure not all would like but alot would! Just like the saying every tool has it's own job. Pretty cool

Really want to try this and do a review and it look like fun and curious how much they cost in Canada

[SnowBikeNation]

Very interested in this. I'd love to ride one and test it out. Deposit is down on one!

It's not the first ever. Honda did this back in 1997 with the motosled. But this is a really cool design and I look forward to seeing their growth and addition to the market.

If you guys could incorporate a seat for the long rides needed to get to most spots and a little more tweaks like heated grips and maybe some more input from the snowbike community. You would have to market cornered. The snow bikers have been waiting for the CV drive and light weight. Definitely heading in the right direction. Keep it up

The Widescape looks very refined, and I would love to own one, but I do have to clarify one thing, it is NOT the first-ever stand-up snowbike. The inventor, of the Sno-Skeeter, Bryan Senn, lives near Grants Pass, Oregon and has been playing around stand-up snowbikes for years. I shot this photo of him playing around on it clear back in 2018, and he had been tinkering with it for years prior to that. I don't know if Bryan did any patent work, but I just wanted to make it clear that HE pioneered the world's first standup snowbike years ago. I don't like revisionist history. That would be like Timbersled claiming that they invented the snowbike. Their machines are awesome and refined, but they were NOT the first. The Widescape looks much more sophisticated than the Sno-Skeeter, but it is not the first-ever standup snowbike.

I already have a snowmobile that works great for standing up. Most sleds do today. Interesting concept but I think it needs a click on seat and a more powerful motor. 250cc 4stroke is small for a snowmobile. It should be at least 350-400cc on this.

Nice! Does it come with a optional seat?

[stevetaylor]

Looks cool, can it be bought without a motor? One of them with something bigger than my push mower might be fun.

[hoodinitheamazingnothd]

Looks fucking nice but seems like it's missing a couple poneys 😅 maybe offer a turbo version?

[jeepninja]

These look cool and would be fun for about 15 minutes. Whoever designed these has obviously never spent anytime snowmobiling. You'd be crippled after one day.

[pinittowinit]

That would really be fun for tight trees but I dont see long rides on it

[justahick]

can't tell are they 2 or 4 stroke or electric

[mitchrichardson]

Wait! Tell us more! Show us more! How do they climb? All the shots you showed it was all flat. Can you jump? What kind of motor? etc... I don't know if it will beat my snowbike or snowmobile but I'd love to try one!

[chrisborns]

I stand on my sled all day and it pushes 190 hp

[whatsongisthis]

How about a battery/electric version? ;)
