What's the difference between snowmobiles and steel snowmobiles?

The difference between snowmobiles and steel-framed snowmobiles is that both snowmobiles and snowmobiles have only a base and no shell, and snowmobiles have a shell, which is more like a car; Sleigh and steel snowmobile have no steering and braking devices, and snowmobile body has steering and braking devices; The sled gets the initial speed by swinging back and forth and raking ice, and the snowmobile and steel snowmobile get the initial speed by running to push the car body; Sled lying, snowmobile sitting, snowmobile lying.

Sleigh, snowmobile and steel snowmobile are all similar, and they are all held in the National Snowmobile Sleigh Center in Yanqing Division, and the competition uses the same track. Sleigh originated in Switzerland and northern Europe, and it is a kind of sport that athletes lie on their backs on the sleigh body and control the sleigh sliding through the coordinated efforts of all parts of the body.

Snowmobile sports also originated in Switzerland and developed from sledding. It is a racing competition, in which an athlete drives a snowmobile with controllable direction on a curved U-shaped ice track. Snowmobile and sleigh use the same track, but the starting point is different. Compared with sledding, snowmobiles have a shell, and there are steering systems and braking systems in the car. Athletes can control the snowmobile to turn left and right through the steering system and brake through the braking system.

Steel snowmobiles, like sledges, only have a "base" without a shell, and there is no steering system and braking device. They can only control their direction and slow down through their bodies. The difference is that athletes need to keep their heads down on the snowmobile. Therefore, the snowmobile with steel frame is also called "ice submersible".
