gthHistory/Background: The all-terrain vehicle known as an ATV or four-wheeler, doesn’t have history as long as a motorcycle but it does hype up the excitement of owners and riders every where. The “ATV” was first produced in the 1960’s and known as the 6-wheeler like jigar in 1961, the 6-wheeler manufactured in the late 1960’s and the terra tiger. These normal vehicles were “NON-STRADDLE” and once straddle ridden ATVs came to market which mean they were used gently then they made ones that were made to be pushed hard, the term AATV or amphibious all-terrain vehicle was attached to the 6-wheelers.
The first ATV that we know of was a 3-wheeler. The Sperry-Rand Tricart was designed in 1967 and manufactured in 1968. The Honda ATC made 3-wheelers a name and set a path for today’s ATVs. In 1970, Honda introduced their US90 and ATC90 “ATC”. The movie Diamonds are forever and the TV shows Magnum, P.I. and Hart to Hart helped spur on its popularity”. It was made for recreational use only and added large balloon tires instead of a suspension which was very rough. The ATC70 was made for fun for kids in 1979. The ATC110 opened up the throttle which was a faster model and was made to be more snappy. Honda made its first real four-wheeler in 1984! The TRX200 topped the sale market it was the most bought four-wheelers and it was the 69% most bought four-wheeler through the U.S and other countries. Since then four-wheelers have been dominating across the U.S. and other countries.
Youtube: these vidoe's are about stunt quads and one is doing stunts while the other is practicing for a race.
