The First Stand Up Snowmobile - Widescape WS250 

What do you think? Are you willing to try one?

My Chrysler snorunner finally has some competition!

Looks like a ton of fun!!

$6500 for one of these units.... It's out of my budget... But looks very nice... I might spend the 2k+ on my Surron to have this much fun... But with this track.. It looks like it can handle most depths... Nice Machine!!

More power Scotty!!

I did Friday at Pete's it's a blast

Awesome review, nice to see you guys got some snow out in Ontario. FYI Widescape sells custom-made bark busters ;)

Looks pretty damn fun.

Experienced dirt biker here, have ridden rented snow bikes in CO, the problem with them in powder and at elevation even a 450cc MX bike engine, that would rip your arms off in a dirt bike, feels very put upon. I had that poor 450 pinned and revved out a lot! To be fair I was over 10K elevation and riding in crotch deep powder on a rented machine, which got ridden like a rental! In contrast, the Polaris 800 powder sled we had along had stupid ski lofting and truly scary scenery blurring effortless power that the elevation and deep conditions seemingly did little to blunt. That twin cylinder snowmobile engine would be violently fast at sea level. The single ski on a snowbike wanders a lot in hardpack but is great in soft snow as along as you carry more speed than shown in this video, as speed brings stability. I imagine this machine isn't much different. The "wandering" single ski really is no big deal if the rider has any skill at all and they can go fast enough for the ski to "come in" and take a set and work properly. The single ski has traits to deal with, but on the snow bike anyway, it was all part of the fun, but I'm not sure if this machine has adequate power to make all that happen. It did look like it was going pretty good starting at around 4:05 with perhaps a little more in it. Pin it to win it - lemme hammer on that thing, I'll tell ya 😆 Yep, drop a 300cc two stroke 6 speed dirt bike motor in there and this could be extremely interesting. Of course having a 52HP water cooled 2T engine in there would make this expensive, and not sure how the gear shifter would work out either.

cool invention. I can't help but think that some sort of setup where mountain bike downhill platform pedals were incorporated so you could really use your feet to help steer the bike (as one would do with a mountain bike) would really make this thing go to the next level.

THIS WILL BE GREAT TO REPLACE THE SMALL ELAN THAT YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE THROUGH THE WOOD HAVING FUN NICE AND LIGHT WEIGHT , BETTER THAN THE WIDE OPEN TRAILS FOR FUN .. YOU CAN/T GET A SMA LL SLED ANYMORE . LIKE THE TUNDRA AND BRAVO TRAPPER LIGHTWEIGHTS .

Yep, this has my curiosity!

Thank you 😊

Surprised this hadn’t come out a long time ago. Like a jet ski on the snow.

Very funny, I would have liked to see the engine and the clutch system.

Looks like it would be awesome for ice fishing.

Looks like it would make for the perfect electric sled. Low to the ground center of gravity and it would be super quiet. Having to stand all the time on the machine means you dont need that much battery power to go the distance people want.

I feel like the handles are too short! my back would die from bending over slightly the whole time! I hope they are adjustable!

I bought one a couple months ago It now has 12 hrs of beating the doors off riding , I replaced the stock limit strap with a stronger one after snapping it no issue since. These things are fun definitely get two of them though

Wish they put a 450in it, or 250 2t. Otherwise awesome looking unit, would love to try one

Needs a 250 2 Stroke!

I think your father-in-law would love this machine lol.

I'd love to try one if we had snow. Could you get diesel in the intro?

This is the first snowmobile I would ride. I'm always terrified of rolling one on steep terrain and breaking my leg/crushing myself.

In a world where being the "first" at something is next to impossible, this is epic!!! I live in New England, and these would be a giant hit. If the price is right.

Very cool. I'd definately try it. I'm probably not the target buyer, but i could see them being fun in the tight bush. Looks like a workout.

Can you raise and lower the handle bars?

Be good for early ice fishing bout all id want it for haha

Can you change the sled in the front and make it wider?

Ever been on a stand up jet skis lol in 89 lol haven't seenone in 30 years

a fromt tire kit for summer would be pretty kewl

There was a day when that much snow was considered 'a mild winter'. I'm just curious about the engine, the output and the price-point in CDN $.

Looks to be an alternative, but not a primary. In the video it is used in very little snow and not much inclination. For just short transport here and there I can see the value given these must be inexpensive compared to the real deal. As someone else said I'd also like to see a 2-stroke instead because it could definitely need a bit more ooompff.

would be a riot with a twin 440

They need a 250 2 stroke and a seat option you need more power. Not fun if it's icy and ruts. Probably same as a snowbike. i would never buy one of these.. Maybe would be fun for your backyard with the kids. You could just as much fun on a 1975 Skidoo Elan with high handle bars as you could with these.

There's definitely a niche market for this unit. Wonder how many they will sell at 9k a unit.

It's a snow scooter 😂

3 needed things or see it go away. 1) Bigger motor 400cc at least. 2) More fuel capacity 3hr ride is nothing. 3) A small seat that can be folded up or down. Long rides are going to take out many of your older riders and limit the machine to just in shape younger folks. Older folks have more money! 😉

Looks like fun. Why did you putt the entire ride? I would have ridden it like I stole it. Just to show what it was capable of?

Looks more like a Snowscooter than a snowmobile!

Reminds me of a Chrysler Sno Rabbit, somewhat.

I 👍 the idea Better then sitting getting pounded. But I also prefer to stand while mowing over riding 🤷🏻‍♂️

think the front ski should be double the width to give the rider more stability turning and in ruts,, but still cool

I would like to see steep Clim compared to snow bike?

I wonder if this would be something that can be used to create a groom trail for Fat Bikes. Perhaps make a few passes to (or loops) to flatten (packing) as well as widen a nice trail network for the Fat Bikes to cruise overtop. Anyone out there try this?

Snow Blade 250 🇨🇦

How fast do those things go?

Looks like fun, I can imagine the price of this unit.😮

Please make these with a larger cc motor... at least double it

If it’s half a sled, how about a slice?

These are ok fun but prefer timber sled because you can sit

It's like you split a mini snowmobile into 2 micro ones.

The cottagers next to us bought 2 of these thinking they were the greatest things in the world we all took them for a ride they are so slow and underpowered as I'm concerned useless. Even the owners were not very impressed. His wife couldn't even ride it no sense of balance. I don't think they have been out since that weekend in early 2022.

I saw 47mph, not bad

almost seem like theyd be legal around town

Sounds like a little predator 224. It needs like big 2stroke... I'm sure this thing isn't very fast.😅

Is it safe to pet a wawa?

Can it tread water?

Tell us WHERE it is made?

Grindhard plumbing anyone? 🔥

Looks like fun, but at $7500, I can't see myself buying one. Seems like once you master the balance and control to the point that you could really flog it, the entire bike would quickly become underwhelming. As for being used for transportation in dense areas, this type of activity usually includes cargo or camping gear, and now you are relegated to a proper backpack for even the basics to camp out. In the end, it's a razor scooter for the snow... not much else.

It's like a snoped

Snow razor

Looks fun but crossing a stream and getting soaked would be no fun.

There for puttin around. A novelty item for people with money to burn.

Needs 2 skis up front

give us an 800 version :D

I'd try one but I can see me pretzeling myself around a tree

Just call it a snow-scoot

Your father needs this to check his trap line...

snow scooters. THANKS.

Great for lumbar pain! Sitting and riding is no fun on hard rides

How about naming it snow doo lol

Looks too cold to ride Try it out in the dunes

Not sure what I think. I'm inclined to say it looks underpowered and overweight for what it is. BUT, having used to be a skater and teaching my kids to use their scooters, and not actually ever even touching one of these things, I bet this would be pretty fun and actually pretty useful to get around the yard at work or around your property during the winter.. I hope one of my rich friends buys one. LOL!

Needs a seat and two skis

Timber scooter 😂

Sorry guys, i made one 20 years ago. 250 twin Elan chassis. Single ski up front from a skidoo alpine with wide cover. No seat with gripy truck mudflap and extended steering post. It was fun.

250 two stroke with a seat is literally a snow bike.

Its a snooter ( snow mobile and scooter)

SnowPed

Treasure is letting you ride thouse? 😂

I dunno boys. I'd really want more than 20HP to haul my 225lbs around the steep powdery Rockies.

Snow is a yankee thing, us southern boys don't get to play in it.....often.

Snowped

$8.999.99 I don't think i would spend that for one of these.

Snow ped

I rather have a snow mobile. It has a seat and is more stable.

Trials bike? More like snow scooter

The Sonny Bobo in me says HELL NO!

You tell him it’s hard riding in his tracks . Then takes off riding across the whole trail back and forth. How about don’t wreck the whole trail for the guy eh

its a snow skooter

10,000 is to expensive. I believe it would be better as a 2 stroke.

Not the first. they had these way back. I remember my friends dad had one 30 years ago. I always thought it was like a modern dog sled.

Did you try to jump it? You didn’t do any wheelies it looks really boring kinda like a moped. Just my opinion I wanna see some thrill and some danger in my life.

first and last

Looks bunk

Ive seen several videos on these now and the general consensus is that they'll be dead on arrival. Theyre only good for the lake or super shallow snow. Needs way more power.

Are they made in China?

Whatever it's a snow scooter
