I have had this on this season a 175 I have, it is awesome , magneto not beefed up everything is the same only addition is ultra capacitor, wait till ya try it! It works better than They suggest, they want to under play it do to the whinny guys, 1 hour rest I still have starts. Vids to come but still gambling in Reno!


Or under play it in case once mass production begins it becomes a Game Changing Failure!!
It is a neat idea though. Hopefully it stays working well.

If you accidentally bump the button while in forward or reverse (while riding) will it cause any damage? Might be a stupid question...

Skidoo had RER out for 4 years and still some Polaris guys laughed when I told them you push a button and the engine runs backwards. I guess shot is along the same lines as this.

Ummm no. Skidoo had RER in 2002. Polaris had it on there sleds in 2003. Not sure if brp will give this up though. Looks pretty cool. Might be hard to patten though as this isn't new technology, just new to sleds.

I would expect that there will be a safe guard similar to what the RER system has where it won't kick in unless unit is not running.

My question is will the "super capacitor" interfere with beacons and radios?

It should have no more effect than a battery would. You need a rapidly changing electric or magnetic field to cause EMF interference.

I like the idea. If i could afford a new sled this is definitely the way I would go. I currently have estart on my XM as I would rather have the extra weight than having to pull it over numerous times a day in precarious situations. To have technology that allows me to only have to pull it over once in a day and save the weight is a huge win in my opinion. Who cares if this technology has been around already because doo is first to introduce it on a sled and its a huge step in my opinion.

Number 5 has nothing to do with his comment. It's not new tech. Just new to the snowmobile world. And a good thing imo.
100% BRP invention.

A device does not need to be wireless to generate interference.

Oh? lol. So.. cell phones, radios, cameras with bluetooth... All the things they warn you about...... Anything with the ability to TRANSMIT a signal. Ill go set my beacon on a capacitor or battery all day long its not going to do a damn thing. Even with your cell phones your told to leave them ON YOUR SLED....... This capacitor is going to be ON the sled.. So unless you get buried inside your door panel im not sure why this is even a conversation?

I agree that the capacitor will not generate interference. I was just correcting an incorrect statement you made that a device has to have a transmitter to generate interference.

does a cell phone have what you consider a rapidly changing electric and magnetic field? I guess that would make sense.

Try listening to the radio while parked under a high-voltage powerline...

He's a sales man, not a engineer


And I could see possible interference when it's charging up the cap
But once topped up not anymore I would think
