The Elan was a popular snowmobile that was built by Skidoo from 1971 to 1996.[1] They were offered with a rather large variety of option including 1 or 2 cylinder engines, different designs on the hood, and other choices. In 1971 the Elans originally came with rotax engines 250cc (247cc) single cylinder rated at 12 hp which had the options of having an electric start as well as a recoil starter. in 1973 they introduced 2 new engines, a 250cc (247cc)twin cylinder rated at 16 hp had a standard muffler and a single HR carb, and the SS model that was a 250 (247cc) twin cylinder rated at 22 hp with dual HR carbs, tuned exhaust, disc brake, and new standard chrome bumper.
