Ski-Doo SHOT starter technology

E-TEC SHOT Starter

It's like something out of science fiction – you just push a button to start your sled, yet the system weighs next to nothing.


The most innovative Starter

SHOT starting is only possible with advanced Rotax E-TEC technology. After a first pull-start, the engine charges a lightweight ultracapacitor. For later starts, that stored energy turns the magento into an electric motor; it turns the crank and E-TEC does the rest.

Give it a shot

Push the button. With the ultra-capacitor charged, your SHOT-equipped Ski-Doo will function as if it has push-button electric start. That means less energy wasted on pull starting, and more energy for riding.

As you ride, the engine's magneto charges a lightweight ultra-capacitor with enough juice to start your snowmobile.
