The ATC All-Terrain Cycle

- In detail
The transmission uses standard mountain bike components for smooth operation, easy maintenance and good dependability. All wheels have disk brakes. All components are standard off-the-shelf bike components, and the cycle can be maintained by any bike shop.
NOTE: For simplicity and lower cost, we have not attempted to put full suspension on this model. The ATC is not a downhill racer, but rather a very capable and efficient cross-country machine. The standard 2.5″ tires handle almost all conditions. When custom-equipped with the oversize 4″ tires, it becomes a recumbent all-terrain quadracycle, with pneumatic suspension sufficient for even rocky terrain. At no point is it meant to be jumped at high speeds.
On the road, the large diameter wheels and padded recumbent seat provide a very smooth ride. Off-road, the speed of travel will depend upon surface conditions; the ATC is designed to be a "crawler" when conditions require. Though it may be developed in the future on a different model, we feel that not having active suspension (heavy, complicated and costly) has been no impediment to the utility and moderate-speed handling of this cycle.
