Brake device of snowmobile

The car body is made of high-tech materials such as steel, glass fiber or carbon fiber, and is designed as an aerodynamic car body complex. The snowmobile is equipped with a handle, and there are two groups of independent sliding steel plates at the bottom of the snowmobile. The helmsman drives the snowmobile brake to be installed at the rear of the snowmobile through a pulley system controlled by two handles in the snowmobile. The rules require the weight of the car body and athletes. If the weight is insufficient, the car body can be weighed.

Before departure, the snowboard of the snowmobile enters the groove to ensure that the body will not slide sideways. Within 60 seconds after the departure signal is issued, the athlete can push the snowmobile by hand to start running and get the initial speed. After the pushing distance is about 50 meters, the four-person car jumps into the car body one by one. The double car jumped into the car body in the order of helmsman, middle hand and brake hand, quickly put away the handle and taxied in a sitting position.
