Moto-Ski was a snowmobile company that went out of business in the mid-1980s. Moto Skis were first manufactured in the 1960s. Moto-Ski had models that came two to four stroke engines that ranged from 15 to 45 horsepower. They had a range of models, such as the Capri.
The Moto-Ski Capri was a two passenger sled that was avaialble with single and twin cylinder two stroke engines of 295 cc's to 400 cc's in displacement and rated up to approximately 35 horsepower. The Capri had a top speed of around 60 to 70 MPH.
The Zepher was larger than the Capri, could carry three passengers and was available with a more powerful 634 cc engine. The top speed of these sleds was around 70 to 80 mph.
The 400 TS would be smaller than the Zepher and bigger than the Capri. These sleds may have had a top speed of more than 80 mph with their 2-stroke engines.
The Moto Ski model line included many other models through out their production. These models included the Grand Prix, Cadet, Capri, MS-18, Zepher, S, F, Nuvik, Futura, Sonic, and Ultra Sonic. Moto Ski's were available with engines manufactured by Hirth, CCW, BSE, JLO, and several other manufacturers until they where purchased in 1974/1975 by Bombardier (the manufacturer of Ski Doo snowmobiles). After their purchase, Moto Ski's were powered by Rotax engines and were essentially orange colored versions of the Ski Doo models.
