A snowmobile includes a frame having side walls and a support platform. The side walls cooperate with the support platform to define a tunnel. The snowmobile further includes an endless belt assembly supported by the frame, a motor supported by the frame, and a running board removably coupled to the tunnel.

A sliding method on ice-surface aims at solve the problems of power output and poor durability and the difficulty in large-scale promotion. An ice-surface sliding tool includes a seat board, a U-shaped rod, sliding plates, H-shaped connecting frames, a pushing device, a hand-operated chain wheel and a reversing gear. One end of the upper end surface of the seat board is provided with a backrest. The U-shaped rod is provided on the side wall of the other end of the seat board. The lower end of the seat board is symmetrically provided with two sliding plates in parallel to each other. The sliding plates are connected with the lower end surface of the seat board through the H-shaped connecting frames. The pushing device is rotationally provided between the two H-shaped connecting frames. The hand-operated chain wheel is on the upper end of the U-shaped rod through a support bar.

A lift apparatus for a snowmobile and a kit for constructing same. The lift apparatus includes a rear bumper and first and second slides attachable to a tunnel of the snowmobile. The rear bumper includes a transverse bumper portion connected to first and second slide members. The first and second slide members are slidable along the first and second slides, respectively, to position the transverse bumper portion in a riding position or a deployed position. The transverse bumper portion is positioned farther from the snowmobile when the transverse bumper portion is in the deployed position than when it is in the riding position. The transverse bumper portion is configured to be gripped and lifted by a user when the transverse bumper portion is in the deployed position. The rear bumper is configured to lift a rear portion of the snowmobile when the transverse bumper portion is lifted.

A snowmobile including a chassis, a main body panel, and a first trim panel. The main body panel is removably coupled to the chassis by way of a fastener assembly. The first trim panel is removably coupled to the main body panel. The first trim panel has a first thickness and extends a first distance from a side of the snowmobile.

The system can include a vehicle having a vehicle frame and a traction apparatus connected to the vehicle frame for providing traction on a planar surface to move the vehicle relative to the planar surface, the vehicle frame having a seat for supporting a user. The system can also include a support structure including a plurality of runners for contacting the planar surface, the plurality of runners including one or more of the following: skates and skis, and a weight compensation system connecting the vehicle frame to the support structure about a pivot. The weight compensation system is configured to adjust the position of the traction apparatus relative to the support structure in response to weight of a user.

A snowmobile includes a transmission unit that transmits a driving force generated by an engine to the ground surface, in which ground touching portions of the transmission unit that are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction receive reaction forces mutually different in magnitude from the ground surface; a suspension that supports the transmission unit so as to swing in the up-down direction; and a vehicle body vibration control damper extending between a first portion and a second portion that are spaced apart from each other of the vehicle body frame and a member fixed to the vehicle body frame, the vehicle body vibration control damper generating a damping force against variations that change the distance between the first portion and the second portion.

A system for connecting an accessory to an item, the system including an anchor fixture with a first electrical element and an anchor including a second electrical element arranged to contact the first electrical element to electrically connect the anchor fixture to the anchor when the anchor is connected to the anchor fixture. The anchor is selectively secured to the anchor fixture by inserting the anchor lock through the anchor aperture and moving the anchor lock relative to the anchor fixture to place the anchor lock in the locked position.
