ABSTRACT:
A small, personal, all terrain vehicle is disclosed of the articulated, multi-unit type. A first and second unit, having track members pivotably mounted thereto, are also pivotably and rotatably interconnected to each other. A motor is provided in the second unit for driving the track members of the first and second units. The first unit includes a seat for a driver and a steering mechanism causing the pivoting of the second unit with respect to the first unit. The all terrain vehicle is of a small size, in the preferred embodiment being four feet wide and eight feet long, for the personal transportation of the driver. The all terrain vehicle provides advantageous weight distribution in that the weight of the driver of the all terrain vehicle is located in the first unit to provide substantial traction to the track members of the first unit and the weight of the motor is located in the second unit to provide substantial traction to the track members of the second unit. The interconnection of the first and second units and the pivotable interconnection of the track members to the first and second units assure that all four track members engage the travel surface.
