Its a telling indicator of the doo culture's age/riding ability/energy level.
Also the increasing average age of snowmobilers.

I really don't see what the big deal is with pulling the rope twice to start your sled.

Do you remote start your sled while sitting in your truck parked in the garage at home ?

I thought about estart for safety reasons. Not that it would be super likely, but it could be possible to injure yourself enough that pulling a sled might be extremely difficult (shoulder dislocation, arm fracture, wrist fracture...). You could be pretty dam hurt and still push a button to slowly ride back to the lot... However, you should be riding with a buddy anyhow. However, sometimes it is just my wife and I that ride together. She is 5ft 2in, weighs 100lbs, and can't start her own sled most of the time. I usually have to pull start both her sled and mine. If I was injured bad enough, even though she could drive back, she might not be able to start either sled... Unlikely, but I've thought about getting estart for that reason.

Let's face it, almost all badd azz self proclaimed professional shponshured best ever tree riding burandt wannabe most likely on a Polaris Pro keyboard jockeys ride a bad azz high horsepower rooster throwing high flying 300 two stroke or 450+ four stroke dirt bike in the summer. All with electric start. Get over yourselves... :face-icon-small-win:face-icon-small-ton:face-icon-small-hap

Do both. E-start + EarthX batt, and you can install the pull start in case the E-start takes a dump.

I'd suspect the new tunnel heat exchanger will more than make up for it in snow weight.

It's my "tennis" elbow that is giving me fits...the sleds now are easy to start, its just starting the sled 30 or so times a day, that makes me wonder about the e start!

Electric start is so nice, but make sure you have pull start back-up. I had a weak battery that wouldn't crank in zero degree weather. No problem to pull once or twice on the trailer and then battery topped off as I rode.

I tried to order a pull start for Matilda but Honda said they didn't have the option.

I'm sitting here at the keyboard with my right arm in a sling from shoulder surgery (rotator cuff and other damage) thinking that there's no way I'd have a sled without es anymore. I turn 67 in a couple weeks and some of my older sleds, like a '95 Mach 1 could be a bear to start when they were cold. I just want to have fun when I ride and pulling on the rope several times a day doesn't strike me as being that much fun anymore.

Call me a pus&y all you want. It's a fun button

With the Gen 4 is the battery located behind the seat ? That would make me go no electric start.

That is what the one video said......

To the guys who have not tried e-start, you should ride a full day with one. Doubt you will notice the weight difference. But you will wonder why you don't have it on your sled when you go back. Make sense on Ktm dirt bikes for off-road use, same idea on a sled. I'll gladly have a extra 10lbs (with lithium battery) to start my sled with the magic button. Yes I'm getting older, weaker, and uglier by the year. Life goes on.
