Today ATVs are very popular. They are widely used not only for pleasure trips, but also for hunting and fishing. Some villagers use this technique for a variety of village work, because, in fact, this is the same mini-tractor. But such a machine may not be available to everyone, so it is so important to have information on how to make an ATV using improvised materials.
Getting Started
Before you make an ATV, you need to prepare everything, and for this you can not do without:
- welding machine;
- profiles, pipes, angles of various sizes;
- accessories;
- units and assemblies taken from mopeds and motorcycles.
Be sure to start work with a drawing of the future "iron horse". Therefore, we take a sheet of paper and make a sketch. Before you make an ATV, the main thing is to plan which components and parts you will buy, and which ones you will do yourself. It is also necessary to carefully draw the relative position of all components and assemblies so that they can be assembled without problems.
Assembly secrets
The frame for the ATV is welded using pipes with a round section, corners and square profiles. At the same time, it is advisable to use elements of various mopeds and motorcycles, because it is there that pipes with high strength are used.
Never use water pipes. They do not have the necessary strength and can crack at any time. Then we weld the mounting brackets and fix the engine to the frame. Make your first ATV out of a moped engine.
Even your kids will love it and they will love it. The fact is that children's ATVs on gasoline are a great toy for every child. After all, he does not develop huge speeds, but the guys will have more than enough emotions from overcoming rough terrain.
Next, we connect the engine shaft with the rear axle gear using a chain. We install the ATV control mechanisms on the steering column, and we attach the pedals and levers to the frame.
The power and ignition system is taken from the same moped model from which we took the engine. Over time, they can be improved and finalized within reasonable limits, of course. You can choose a motorcycle fuel tank of the appropriate volume.
Do not forget also the point that in the question of how to make an ATV, each step must be carefully worked out. Therefore, installing a battery on such a machine is a must.
It's also worth planning which axles you'll be using on the quad. The best solution for thisIn this case, units from motorized wheelchairs and cargo scooters are considered.
The steering must be made using two rods, which will turn the front wheels. The brake lever is connected to the transmission brake using a linkage. We make all the outer panels of a homemade ATV using fiberglass.
Separately, I would like to say about how to make tracks for an ATV. The best option here would be to buy ready-made components in their entirety, and then attach them to the ATV. After all, caterpillars of suitable properties and characteristics are difficult to find on other machines. Therefore, we do not philosophize much, but buy everything ready-made.
By putting the above tips and tricks into practice, you can create a real masterpiece of mechanical engineering, saving money and raising your authority in the eyes of friends and acquaintances.

Today, old Soviet-made motorcycles are increasingly being sent for recycling or scrap metal collection points. And there are reasons for this. Firstly, it is very difficult to maintain an old motorcycle due to the large shortage of spare parts for it, and secondly, frequent breakdowns can piss off even the most adequate owner. So it turns out that they either stand in the yard and rust, or understand and go "for spare parts"
