2024年1月19日 · Moto-Ski was a brand of snowmobiles for about 20 years, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. The machines had a reputation for being very durable, and they were one of the most popular Canadian snowmobile brands for a while.

2023年11月10日 · Moto-Ski never stopped innovating to stay at the forefront of snowmobile technology. The company distinguished itself through the introduction of improved suspensions, more efficient cooling systems, and chassis designs optimized for better stability and maneuverability.

1963 Moto Ski: This snowmobile is called the "Tin Cab Moto-Ski". The Moto-Ski snowmobile was invented and manufactured by Charles Eugene Bouchard (Industrie Bouchard, Inc., La Pocatiere, Quebec). Mr. Bouchard had a pharmaceutical company and invested in the manufacture of vegetable cutters and later changed to snowmobiles.

Moto-Ski snowmobiles were very popular “family sleds” marketed from 1963 through 1985. The company was acquired by Griffin Industries in 1969 and was sold again to Bombardier two years later. The new owner virtually sold their popular Ski-Doo snowmobiles under the brand name of Moto-Ski until 1985.

Along the way the company sold more sleds for more years than any brand that didn’t make it.

Moto-Ski is one of those brands - like Massey-Ferguson - that had its own identity for a time, but then as the snowmobile industry contracted in the 1970s, it became part of something else and lost its uniqueness. Originally produced by a group in LaPocatiere, Que., Moto-Ski snowmobiles actually were a serious rival to Bombardier's Ski-Doo brand.

The more you see of Moto-Skis the more you will be amazed by how much the company used up any leftover pieces from the year before, from small details like bumpers to entire bodies reworked to become a part of the next model year.
