Hi there as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
This video is about the newest snowmobile which is called Dingo!
They started to produce it just half a year ago, but it has turned to be extremely popular
in our state!
The matter is it is one of the cheapest snowmobiles in the world available on the market and we
are going to find out today what it can do.
Moreover we will take also one of the motorsleds which is called Muhtar – it has approximately
the same price, so it will be interesting to compare these two machines with each other.
Well it is going to be an exciting test but it is snowing hard and it seems that blizzard
is coming, so it high time to begin, lets go!
The first thing I would like to mention that despite the lowest price, this sled comes
complete with all the necessary documents and can be legally registered at least in
our state.
As for the motorsled Muhtar it doesn’t need to be registered but it is forbidden on public
roads.
Well lets look closer at the machines.
One of the main features of the sled is that its demountable.
It is quite easy to disassemble this sled into two parts.
Such a solution allows us to transport it not only in trailers but also in a regular
crossovers.
Despite it is demountable the frame is allegedly durable and heavy duty.
It is welded of steel 20 mm diameter tubes with 2 mm thickness.
The sled is equipped with 4 stroke 150 cc 10 hp engine.
It is not so powerful but quire reliable as the manufacturer states.
It works together with cvt transmission.
The chain drive is covered with a durable protection.
There are both an electric starter and manual one in case if the battery is dead.
The length of the track is 2600 mm its width is 380 mm.
The length of the grouser is 23 mm.
The chassis is all new, it has two shocks so it should be more comfortable and effective
in deep snow.
Besides there is an independent suspension at the front.
The footsteps are wide with metal anti skid hooks, the seat is quite soft, it is enough
for tow people with a huge box under it.
The display is big and bright.
There is a handle heater with two modes.
Well for the most part we covered all the main options of this sled.
Speaking about new motorsled Muhtar.
As we can see it is equipped with a front ski module that is why it looks as some kind
of a snowmobile.
Of course it can be used without this attachment, it is easy to demount it.
The engine is standard for such a machine it is Chinese 15 hp 420 cc Lifan.
There is also cvt transmission with a reverse reducer.
There is also an electric starter and manual one.
The length of the track is 2800 mm and its width is 500 mm, the grouser is 19mm.
Then we see here the same front suspension as on the snowmobile.
The seat is quite rough only for one person.
There are handle heaters and effective front lighting.
I think we’ve covered all the details, so now it is time for practice, lets go!
And Blizzard is here, the conditions are quite tough, minus 15 degrees and strong wind.
The depth of the snow is about 30 cm.
The weather is tough for riders but ideal for the sleds, so for all that we are enjoying
this ride!
Few words about the difference between a snowmobile and a motorsled.
According to my impressions the snowmobile is much more comfortable and easy for handling
machine than the mtotrsled.
It will be perfect recreational machine for winter fun and rides in the country.
Besides the snowmobile can be used for work in some way, we’ll check it later.
As for motorsled I should say it is more rough machine that may not be suitable for everyone.
It is not so comfortable and looks simpler, but first of all this machine is cut out for
work and crafts like fishing and hunting.
It is equipped with wider and longer track, as a result it is able to move in deeper snow.
Back to Dingo.
And as I said it is much simpler to handle it, but do not expect much from this machine.
But there are many big sleds that cost 10 times as this one.
Does it mean that it has 10 times worse performance on snow?
I wouldn’t say so.
Yes it has a simple suspension and not so powerful engine, but it is still a lot of
fun to ride this thing!
Well lets move to some more practical tests.
Firstly lets try to check the maximum speed.
Despite Dingo has only 150 cc engine it looks pretty swift.
Besides due to the small engine the fuel consumption is low, it is just about 5 liters per 100
kms on a good road.
Lets check the speed.
According to official specs its maximum is 45 kmh, and as we can see that seems to be
true.
As for motorsled, its maximum speed is approximately the same.
Not lets make the towing test on the snow 30 cms deep.
Firstly we try Dingo with one passenger.
By the way it is quite comfy for two people to ride on this sled.
Lets add a person on board our transport.
The carrying weigh now is more than allowed by specs, but as we can see it is a piece
of cake for the machine.
Now we attach the additional sled with one man on it.
The same thing…no problem at all.
The trunk is empty, lets fill it with one more rider.
We still are able to move on this snow and maneuver.
Well we are short of people it seems its my turn now.
I should say we are impressed by this tiny snowmobile.
I think it is time to attach one more sled with a passenger on it.
We are moving now with seven people on board our train, amazing!
And We don’t have any more people, but….a cameraman!
8 people and we are still in business.
In this way we can say that towing abilities are pretty impressive, aren’t they?
Not to do all this stuff again we try our motorsled with 7 people right away!
The motorsled passes this test without hesitation and we are not greatly surprised cause it
has larger track and more torqy engine, so it is able to tow even more than a snowmobile.
Due to the light weight our vehicles are able to climb rather steep hills.
By the way Dingo weighs 150 kilos and the motorsled is a bit lighter its weight is 142
kilos.
Such weight is a huge advantage.
In case if you get stuck in snow it is always possible to get out from the trap on your
own.
Meantime it is high time to speak about the prices.
The price of Dingo is slightly less than 2500 dollars.
And the motorsled completed with front ski module and all the options costs a bit more
than 2500 dollars.
The prices are actual in our state so the shipping costs are not included.
Well my friends, thanks for having a ride with us.
