Moto-Ski was a snowmobile brand. Moto Skis were first manufactured in 1963. The Moto-Ski company of La Pocatière, Québec, Canada was purchased in 1971 by Bombardier. The last year of production was 1985.

Models

In 1963 and 1964, Moto-Skis had no model names but were instead listed by year and engine size. For example, a 1964 Moto-Ski with a 300cc Hirth would be a 1964 Moto-Ski 300.[1]

The Moto-Ski Capri was a two-passenger sled that was available with single and twin cylinder two-stroke engines of {{convert|292| to |440|cc|cuin|abbr=on|1}} displacement and rated up to {{convert|35|hp}}. The Capri had a top speed of {{convert|40| to |45|mph|abbr=on}}.

The Zephyr was larger than the Capri, could carry three passengers and was available with a more powerful {{convert|634| cc|cuin|abbr=on|1}} engine. The top speed of these sleds was {{convert|60| to| 65|mph|abbr=on}}

The Grand Prix was smaller than the Zephyr and the Capri; it was a single passenger performance sled that had a {{convert|438| cc|cuin|abbr=on|1}} engine. It wasn't as powerful as the Zephyr, but could reach speeds of {{convert|75|mph|abbr=on}}

In 1973 Moto-ski brought to the market their first models with the engines mounted low in the bellypan for a lower centre of gravity. These new models were the F (family) and S (sport) powered by BSE (Bouchard Snowmobile Engine) motors. The new models came with 3 engine size options, the {{convert|295|,| 340| and| 440 |cc|cuin|abbr=on|1}}. Starting in 1976 all Moto-Ski models were designed by Bombardier.

The Moto-Ski model line included many other models throughout their production. These models included the Grand Prix, Cadet, Capri, Mini-Sno, Mirage I, Mirage II, Mirage Special, MS-18, Zephyr S, F, Nuvik, Grand Sport, Chimo, Spirit, Futura, Sonic, Super-Sonic and Ultra Sonic. They also manufactured and sold Mini-bikes called Moto-Skeeters only for two years,1971 and 1972 . Moto-Skis were available with engines manufactured by Hirth, BSE, JLO, and several other manufacturers until they were purchased in March 1975 by Bombardier (the manufacturer of Ski-Doo snowmobiles). After their purchase, Moto-Skis were powered by Rotax engines and starting with the 1976 models were essentially orange-colored versions of the Ski-Doo models. The most popular models were the Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special, Super-Sonic and Ultra-Sonic (same as Ski-Doo MX, Blizzard 5500, 7500, and 9500), the Sonic (same as Ski-Doo RV), the Mirage I, II, and Special (same as Ski-Doo Citation 3500, 4500, and SS, but with a slight change in the design of the hood), the Futura 500 and Futura L/C (same as Ski-Doo Everest 500 and L/C), the Nuvik (same Ski-Doo Olympique but with a different hood) and the Spirit (same as Ski-Doo Elan but with a different hood).
