Multi-passenger snowmobiles

Multi-passenger snowmobiles were used in the north (Canada, Alaska) as vehicles of the army (during the Second World War), school buses and forestry machinery. Snowmobiles first of this type have been introduced in the United States in 1916 by Ray Muscott. They are similar to snowmobiles currently available for sale. However, these vehicles were not very practical when the snow was wet. Therefore, a Canadian, Joseph-Armand Bombardier had the idea of caterpillar that has been adapted to all sorts of areas of snow.

However, people in southern regions where winter lasts about three months also tend to buy them for recreational purposes. In 1955, Allen and Edgar Hetteen and David Johnson of Minnesota built the first practical snowmobile for a person. The first vehicles were heavy (weighted over 400 kg) and slow (moving at a speed of 30 km per hour). In 1959, Bombardier invented snowmobiles smaller and lighter (Ski-Doo "). Therefore, many manufacturers of snowmobiles have been established. From 1970 to 1973, they managed to produce two million snowmobiles for sale. In the second part of 1970 production has declined due to the oil crisis. In 1990, sales jumped again. Actuel individual snowmobiles have a similar design to watercraft. They move on a track rubber is practical regardless of conditions.
