Widescape: The Original Stand-Up Snowmobile
There’s a new snowmobile in town! The Widescape WS250 has been 20 years in the making and it’s carving a name for itself in the snowmobile market.
This machine offers a different approach to snowmobiling while still giving riders an opportunity to embrace everything they love about traditional sledding.
Widescape
Founded by a father-son duo in Saguenay, QC, the Widescape WS250 brings the promise of more action and ways to embrace winter – without necessarily having to head to the mountains. Their meticulously crafted machine has been described as compact, agile and lightweight coming in at just 200lbs. It's perfect for exploring locally, but still extremely easy to transport. While the machine is lightweight, make no mistake! It’s built for riding through Canadian terrain and taking you on new adventures off the beaten path.
Stand Up Snowmobile
The Widescape WS250 is designed for riders to stand on. This presents a new way to challenge riders physically and be immersed in a completely new riding experience. This machine is exhilarating, but don't just take our word for it! Check out this complete review from SnowTrax TV on YouTube.
What’s Powering the Widescape Snowmobile?
The plastics are easy to remove, meaning you can easily check on the mechanical components of your Widescape. See how this machine is powered along with other thoughtfully designed features as described by Widescape themselves.
| The WS250 is powered by our custom-built 242cc 4-stroke EFI engine with liquid cooling and was designed to be compact, reliable and fuel efficient.

Transmission
The WS250 is equipped with a continuously variable transmission made in Quebec by CVTech-IBC®.
Built to be rugged and durable, it ensures a smooth and steady power output with linear acceleration.

Track
Traction is provided by a scaled track, made in Quebec by Soucy, a leading manufacturer of powersports components.
The track is 105 inches in length by 12 inches in width with 1.5-inch lugs, giving the ride optimal traction and control.

Ski
The WS250 is steered by a 12-inch single ski, purposefully designed by the engineers at Widescape and made in Québec. It is the same width as the track to ensure increased drivability and balance.
It is equipped with a single central keel and side runners for optimal grip and precise handling on all surface types.

Cockpit
A thumb-operated throttle allows for ease of use and comfort and ensures a smooth and steady power output when riding in dense forests. Thanks to spacers, the riser bar can be adjusted up to 30mm to meet the rider’s preferred height.
|
Riding Platform
A non-slip traction mat ensures the rider’s feet are always securely in place on the driving platform. The built-in grooves ensure that snow is easily cleared from the driving platform during the ride.

|
Suspension
High-performance front and rear suspension ensure a smooth and comfortable riding experience in all types of terrain, thanks to the suspension’s 140 mm front and 100 mm rear travel.
|
Bodywork and Chassis
The WS250’s chassis and frame are made entirely of aluminum, which makes the vehicle very light yet robust. At 200 pounds, it’s the lightest snowmobile on the market. The aluminum frame is wrapped in HDPE plastics, which are resistant to shock and cold, and finished up in a sleek and minimal design.
