WAVING THE STEERING WHEEL

BEATING THE WHEELThe first test of this bike took place at night. And the winter. And if the first can be explained by the unusual design, then the second — just looking forward to the author’s development: why wait for spring when the snow tract is not worse than asphalt, and test the idea and want their case immediately.

MOTORCYCLE ON FOUR WHEELS

And, of course, is to have the satisfaction of creation. Ideas in my head were many, but finances — not a lot, and therefore decided to restrict the construction of zadneprov-tion of the ATV, not all-wheel drive. Thought and the basic technical requirements to future design: among them — the presence of a reverse, no chain — still supposed to use the ATV not on the pavement, but mostly on country roads and also decent power and maintainability. And, of course, low price.
