The Taiga Atlas is the first all-electric snowmobile. Landing what could be the first blow to an old 2-stroke industry.
‘Atlas, a trailblazing performance snowmobile, redefines the future of snowmobiling. Outstanding handling and control through acceleration, jumps and cornering from Atlas’ fine-tuned suspension and performance-focused powertrain brings the adrenaline-packed corners of the globe to your fingertips. Atlas delivers reliable, linear power for precise performance on or off the trail.’

‘The power is extremely smooth when accelerating and decelerating, it looks cool as hell, and you can do a motorized outdoor recreational activity without emitting smelly fumes. True, for the average snowmobiler, its price puts it out of reach for now. But if you’ve got the cash and a burning desire to own the first production electric snowmobile, the Nomad beckons.’
‘Taiga developed the world’s first performance-focused, electric off-road tractive unit, pushing the frontiers of technology. With full-tilt acceleration speeds of 2.9 seconds from 0-100km/h, Atlas uses the permanent magnet motor’s wide RPM range to maximize acceleration and top speed. The predictable, yet exhilarating, constant power band and linear acceleration from full stop to max speed push Atlas as the pinnacle of electric performance.
Equipped with automotive standard J1772 connector ports, built for all-weather usage, recharging Atlas after a day out on the trails is as simple as park-and-plug. With standard Level 1 and Level 2 charging, Atlas seamlessly integrates with existing electric vehicle charging networks.’

‘Taiga’s electric drive platform is at the heart of the shift towards powersports without compromise. Born out of the single-minded vision of enabling the best possible snowmobiles, the platform was engineered from a clean sheet to deliver unyielding performance capable of outperforming leading 2-stroke engines. The electric motor is directly coupled to the track drive via a toothed belt, eliminating the need for a traditional CVT transmission and greatly improving the throttle feel. Zero throttle lag and a perfectly linear response enable precise control for technical maneuvers while a wide torque band delivering up to 210Nm from 0-9000rpm provides unmatched acceleration and climbing capabilities.’
