Run and light switches are situated on the left side of the chrome handlebar, while a thumb-operated throttle is located on the right. A conventional fork with rubber gaiters comprises the three-wheeler’s only suspension. Braking is from drums at both ends, with the rear controlled by both a foot pedal and a hand lever. Steel 8″ wheels are mounted with older 11.00×22 Pro/Am H-Trak knobby tires. The seller notes a ding on the fuel tank as well as scratches on plastic parts, and a few areas of touch up paint, which are viewable in the photo gallery.

Although they’re much less tricky at low speeds, they’re still pretty dangerous.Īccording to Motoshark, there were more than 10,000 fatalities related to ATVs between 19. A dramatic change from the stamped sheet metal frames of the 90s, 110s, and 125s, the 1980 ATC185 introduced for the first time a 185cc vertically up swept style engine surrounded by a full tube frame. The language in the decree also meant that four-wheel ATVs were spared the ban. The legal document no longer officially bans the sale of tricycles and although manufacturers have continued to abide by it, it’s only voluntarily at this point.

The answer was to take the wheels off an amphibious six-wheeler – what, at the time, was known as an All Terrain Vehicle – and put it on a little runabout. So why did these tippy-by-design vehicles happen in the first place? Apparently, the trouble started when Honda dealers wanted something to sell in the winter that wasn’t useless during the summer, like a snowmobile.
