i-Scoob: Luxury snowmobile concept

If luxury is your top priority when it comes to a snowmobile, the concept i-Scoob (name is a play on the words-ice cube) snowmobile will definitely appeal to you. This snowmobile is a diseno-art.com design proposal for a luxury two-person. The luxury mobile can be used for a number of purposes including daily transportation in snow clad regions or as a way to quickly transport people and equipment over the arctic tundra during scientific exploration. The drivetrain of the i-Scoob consists of a hybrid internal combustion engine/electric motor setup that helps to drive the vehicle in a purely electric-mode over shorter distances reducing the impact on the arctic environment. The batteries can be charged in 3 diff ways- by the engine, by plugging into an electricity socket or by using the fold-out solar panels which are kept in storage boxes either side of the vehicle.

The design of the mobile is functional and amazing. At the rear of a vehicle is a secure heavy-duty cargo rack for transporting supplies and equipment. Extra items can also be stored in the airtight side pods located just forward of the passenger compartment. The i-Scoob can also be used to pull a trailer sled for extra large items. Spaces in the bodywork are filled with foam that helps the mobile stay afloat if it ever falls in water. Control of the i-Scoob is done through a central joystick (which controls everything from acceleration to braking and steering) which means the vehicle can be driven from either seat. The central dash boasts of an LCD that provides everything from drivetrain performance information and navigation, to settings for the radio and climate control.
The glazed cockpit of the i-Scoob is designed to take advantage of the greenhouse effect and trap as much heat as possible inside the vehicle, while also offering superior vision for the occupants. A great idea, such vehicles would definitely end all transport woes in the desolate snow clad regions.
