You sort of ride an ATV like a motorcycle, right? You straddle a seat, have handlebar controls, and the whole premise is to give the operator a sense of what a motorcycle is, but sitting squarely on four wheels to add better stability and support. But there are compromises. The seat is longer and wider, and with more cushion. The bars are longer and beefier, too, as to give the rider a better handle over the far heavier machine.
And despite its name, i.e., all-terrain vehicle, it can still be stopped when the going gets rough, muddy, sandy, or snowy depending on the conditions and depth of those mediums. So it's motorcycle-like while also being a some-terrain vehicle. Well, this patent that RideApart dug up takes the original conceit and delivers something that is both far more motorcycle, and far more all-terrain than anything currently on the market.
