Snowmobile FAQs for Beginners
A mid-sized snowmobile operates the same way as a full size sled, but there are a few differences when it comes to ergonomics. Features like shorter seat height, narrower handlebars with smaller diameter and lesser engine power make the experience more comfortable and less intimidating for smaller or newer riders.
Ski-Doo offers snowmobilers of every age and experience level a sled that will suit their needs. The Ski-Doo MXZ 120 and 200 are perfect for the youngest riders just getting their boots wet. And the MXZ Neo/Neo+ and Summit Neo/Neo+ models provide the perfect stepping stone as riders grow or a way for new-to-sport riders to gain confidence quickly.
Riding a snowmobile is simple and fun. A throttle on the right handlebar is used to modulate speed and a brake lever on the left handlebar brings you to a stop. It's that simple. For every new snowmobiler, it's highly recommended (and required in most locations) that you take a snowmobile safety course through your local club or snowmobile organization. These classes can typically be completed in a weekend and will cover everything from proper snowmobile operation to riding etiquette and safety. Plus, they're a great way to meet new friends to ride with.
