Polaris goes shopping again
« on: April 23, 2015, 10:30:19 AM »
Not to leave any motorcycle technology not-purchased, Polaris has bought a motorcycle snow bike conversion company.  I recall seeing at least one company advertising in Cycle World for this type of conversion during the mid-1960's, but it looks like this version would work a lot better.  I wonder how the system would function with a Brammo electric power train?  Probably not all that well.  Too cold and too much power needed for forward progress:

The batteries have heaters, so that may help some.

Polaris knows what they are doing. My local bike shop is a Victory/Slingshot dealer, I asked how the Slingshot was selling, the guy said he wished they had 50 more, can't keep the inventory in stock.
