    Anybody ride snowmobiles before in China? Didn't come up with much on Google, but it looks like we'll be seeing some Chinese snowmo's soon.

    No need for one here in Guangdong, but it looks like a few members here could take advantage of one this year.

    Cheers!

    I don't know how well a 125 cc sled will do in NA. Most places out here in BC if you don't have a 600 or larger they will tell you to go home and get a real sled.600 is even small compaired to whats out there for mountain machines.

    Just recently met the guy who imports ski-doo in China. These are brp, "Bombardier Recreational Products" ranging from ATV over Jetskis to Snowmobiles. The guy sells 100+ ski doos a year in China
    They cost more than an imported big

    Having one of these in and around Beijing would be really helpful these days


    P.S. Just turned my forklift into a snow plough

    Any idea how much these ASA snow mobiles cost?

    I wonder about the legalities of riding a snow mobile in China are?

    I sent them an email.

    A 125cc snow mobile is a pre-school kid's toy and costs over USD 2k in the US.

    Grown machines start at 500cc+ and well over USD 5k.
    You can also find sleds with 1200cc and 130hp, this is the ultimate fun , for USD 12k and up
    And there is the arctic cat with a 177hp turbo charged engine

    If you'd be able to find a place in China to fun ride these, I think legality is not an issue.

    Yeah but keeping it running and not getting it stolen is.
