To make riding more pleasant, Snowdog offers various features and accessories. First, heated handles come as standard on all models. Additional bells and whistles, such as handle mittens, swivel seats, cargo boxes, track groomers, or sliders with wheels — and the flexibility to add custom mods on the sleds — better the Snowdog’s riding encounter. The electric model can also be stocked with an additional battery for a longer range.
What makes Snowdog machines much more attractive is their pricing. Compared to snowmobiles, which cost $15,000 on average, the Snowdog range begins at as low as $4,999 for the single track and $6,199 for the twin-track variant. Meanwhile, the electric, aka the SnowdogX, can be purchased for $7,499, making them a cheaper alternative to snowmobiles and ATVs. Expectedly, you miss out on facilities such as a cushiony throne or a pillion seat, elaborate instrumentation clusters, smoother suspension, or sportier designs. Most importantly, you get much less power compared to a snowmobile.
Instead, factors behind the Snowdog’s appeal include ease of customization or the fact that you do not need to register in the U.S. at the moment since it does not qualify as an off-road vehicle (ORV) or motorized snow vehicle (MSV) —although regulations may vary with each state or change.
