Bombardier takes to the road in a serious way

They have come out with this little bike. It looks cool and I think its a great idea if u don't want to ride on 2 wheels. They have taken there technology from there snowmobiles and put it on the road:

Hey Gattguy... are you a ski-doo rider? I like your profile pic. I just got back from the SAE Clean Snowmobile Competition. Me and my buddy's at school have gotten pretty good at really messing around with Bombardier Ski-Doos... We've got a kick-*** electric 2006 Tundra that we built last year and really refined this year, won us a bunch of awards at the CSC. And our latest pride and joy is our MXZ that we converted to a series hybrid electric sled. Not quite as quick as the stock sled with the 800 rotax engine, but it hauls *** for a silent and partial zero emissions snowmobile.
The only problem is that nobody on our team is actually a snowmobiler. Here's a pic of me taking a turn way too fast:




The electric's got all its batteries down low and up front, but the hybrid's got a huge battery pack sitting out on the tail, so its a little top heavy.

NOw we just gotta get our hands on one of those spyders.

BRP kicks ***!

Yeah, I am big in snowmobiling. I mean when you live on a white piece of flat land all winter, its great to open a sled up to 110mph on a field. I really love your hybrid sled. Can you show me some more pics. My buddys dad owns the factory the builds Racing sleds for the Ski-doo X-team, they would probably find that pretty interesting. What kind of top-speeds/ 0-60's do you get with that hybrid? How heavy is it? cause I know you can now buy a 2008 Ski-Doo MXZ TNT package that comes in at only 299 pounds. Very impressive.
