not atv snowmobile

The GIO snowmobile is nice... I just put one together and it is nice... almpst 8 ft long.. 200 cc auto& reverse.. electric start & pull start... check their site out for it... if you have snow in your area..

Taotao is showing the snowmobiles as being available on their site in the US www.taotao.us Are they offering them in Canada? Just curious, and also curious to know how a small displacement snow mobile gets on in the snow! Are they reliable?

How cool is that!!

Snowmobiles require a lot of power just to move, so I bet 200cc is marginal but I bet it would be fun with the right snow conditions. Light weight helps. It sure looks nice.

I know I live in the SE,but when we have snow,it turns to ice,and no one can move.I thought about buying one of these, so I can get off the icy roads, and onto the snow packed areas along the sides of the road.The SO is required to go to work regardless of weather.It's a really hill very bad area to drive between here and her work area.

Nice little video. It looks like it moves right along. I would love to try one of those. The only bad part, is all the white stuff ;-)

I could have fun with it. Like a larger kitty kat.

That video was shot in an extreme Northern area of BC, not terribly far from the Alaskan border. They get ridiculous amounts of snow.

FLASHLIGHTBOY · 10-18-2016, 04:35 PM

it is in CANADA .. I DO NOT KNOW if available in the USA... it is big for its size.. almost 8 ft long.. rides ok... better than the KITTY CAT for kids... more power.. that's my 2013 rav4 and my 5x8 ft trailer... not much room left in the trailer

Is a 4 stroke engine? I couldn't tell in the video.

FLASHLIGHTBOY · 10-19-2016, 12:42 AM

Hello yes 4 stroke motor ,, same style as they use in the 200 cc atv and such... gy6 motor... with a pull start and electric start... attached gear box to drive the track system.... really quite simple like all the Chinese stuff.. I am 200 lbs and fits me ok... my friend in PREECEVILLE sk has one and he says it ok..

We don't get much snow in Southern Kansas, but up it Minnesota I would have considered it.
