Abstract: An electric snowmobile having: a frame having a tunnel; a seat; at least one ski; a drive track; an electric motor; a battery pack; a charger; a cooling and heating system; and a temperature sensor. The cooling and heating system has: a valve having an inlet, and first and second outlets; a heat exchanger connected to the tunnel or defining part of the tunnel, the heat exchanger being fluidly connected to the first outlet; a heater fluidly connected to the second outlet; and a pump fluidly connected to the inlet. In a first position of the valve; the first outlet is open; and the second outlet is closed. In a second position of the valve; the first outlet is closed; and the second outlet is open.

Abstract: An air intake system for a vehicle has a conduit having an internal wall forming an air passage. A deflector is disposed within the air passage. A restricting structure is disposed within the air passage between the deflector and a conduit outlet. The restricting structure defines at least in part an opening substantially laterally aligned with the deflector. The restricting structure has a lateral wall disposed downstream of the deflector and extending within the air passage. The lateral wall has a front surface generally facing a conduit inlet, and a plurality of surface-increasing features provided on the front surface. Each of the surface-increasing features has a length of at least 1 mm measured from the front surface in a direction normal thereto. An air intake system having a collector connected to the deflector and positioned to collect at least some moisture from air flowing past the deflector is also described.

Abstract: A mirror assembly for a handlebar of a vehicle has a stem assembly and a mirror connect to the stem assembly. The stem assembly includes a base, a stem connected to the base, and a clamp connected to and extending from the base. The clamp is adapted for being disposed inside a handle of the handlebar. The base, the stem and the clamp are integral. The clamp defines a ramp. A threaded fastener inserted through the base and extends in part in the clamp. A nut engages the threaded fastener, and at least a portion of the nut abuts the clamp. Translating the nut toward the base by rotating the fastener causes the nut to move over the ramp thereby deflecting the ramp.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle including a frame, a vehicle body, a motor connected to the frame, left and right suspensions, left and right wheels operatively connected to the left and right suspensions, each wheel having a rim and a tire mounted on the rim, both wheels being outside the vehicle body, and left and right fenders. Each fender includes an arcuate outer wall adapted for extending over at least a portion of an upper part of the tire of its corresponding wheel and a side wall having an outer portion extending from an edge of the outer wall, the outer portion covering at least a portion of a sidewall of the tire on a vehicle facing side, and an inner portion extending from the outer portion, the inner portion covering at least a portion of the rim of its corresponding wheel on the vehicle facing side.
