On clubpenguin the toboggan does nothing really special but if you buy it then you can use it in a sled race. But to use it you must buy it, then you click on your penguin card and you click on the toboggan in your inventory and then you are holding it. then you enter a sled race and you can see you penguin riding a toboggan. NOTE: this does not increase or decrease your speed during a sled race.

In the northern side of North America a toboggan is a simple sled, that is a traditional form of transport used by the Innu and Cree of northern Canada. In modern times, it is used on snow to carry one or more people (often children) down a hill or other slope for recreation. Designs vary from simple, traditional models to modern engineered composites. A toboggan differs from most sleds or sleighs in that it has no runners or skis (or only low ones) on the underside. The bottom of a toboggan rides directly on the snow. Some parks include designated toboggan hills where ordinary sleds are not allowed and which may include toboggan runs similar to bobsleigh courses.

A toboggan is a kind of sled.

Toboggans are said to have originated in Northern Canada as the are still used today by the Cree and Innu for transportation. What makes a toboggan different from a traditional sled is that a toboggan rides on just the flat part of the underside of the sled, while a traditional sled uses some sort of runners to lift the sled above the snow.

It is called a motor toboggan.
