Ted Wilkins - Snowmobile engines

Ted Wilkins' Feet forward, snowmobile engine/CVT powered handmade project that was at Daytona in 2000. All aluminium chassis. He says it works remarkably well- far better than he hoped (and feared) He says he hates the 'scooter appearance' and is amazed/ diasappointed by the fact that it handles better than the 'conventional' snowmobile-powered bike he built before. Ted also races a snowmobile-powered hillclimber that he built himself.

Michael Moore of Eurospares has a photo of a completely carbon fibre-framed snowmobile device also built by Ted.

"It is powered by a 580cc Rotax snowmobile-type engine, has a vacuum-bagged carbon-fiber monocoque frame, weighs 320 lbs, and puts out 100 bhp. Note the belt-drive countershaft is also the swing-arm pivot. Very neat bike - I'm contacting the owner for more information. Photo courtesy of Alan Lapp. 38K jpeg file"

No lack of Canadian innovation in this man!!!
