The author of the next all-terrain vehicle has quite a lot of experience in assembling machines of various designs. Therefore, in fact, this all-terrain vehicle was built professionally as a means of delivery for winter fishing. This property consists in the fact that you need to come, drill, go fishing and get home. It goes without saying that this scheme excludes breakdowns, since fixing any malfunctions on ice in winter is not the best solution, which is why the author, during construction, primarily adhered to the reliability of the structures. The place for fishing is not so far away, maximum 40 km, so even in the event of a malfunction, the all-terrain vehicle will be able to get to the garage.

At the very beginning of construction, the all-terrain vehicle was conceived as a light pneumatic with an ant engine, but changes were made during construction.

What mechanisms were involved in the construction of the all-terrain vehicle:
1) The frame was assembled independently from a profiled square tube.
2) Internal combustion engine from IZH, which was then changed to Jupiter 5.
3) Disks removed from previously made all-terrain vehicles
4) An electric fan for cooling from an unknown model of a Japanese small car.
5) rear differential with axle shafts from Toyota Lit-ice,
6) front differential with axle shafts and hubs from Subaru Sambar,
7) The steering wheel and steering rack from the same Subaru.
8) door glazing borrowed from Honda Street.
9) The electric fan was removed from the Daihatsu Charade.

What are the disadvantages of the design of this all-terrain vehicle:
1. there is no possibility of reversing.;
2. The engine is located inside the cab, hence the constant noise.
3. small load capacity;
4. There is simply no rear suspension.

Pros:
1) The design is very light
2) Soft and smooth wheels do not dig a hole in the ice, which makes it easy to overcome such obstacles, and allows
ride in any weather.
3) Swims slowly, easily enters sandy (rocky)
shore, but most likely will not leave the ice itself.

As for cross-country ability, it rides in powder until it hits the snow with its muzzle, then it starts to slip, but it doesn’t sit on its belly, you can roll back,
or trample ahead (very difficult). Also, very good handling is noted, the turning radius is smaller than that of the Niva, directional stability for such a short base is also not bad. The maximum speed of the all-terrain vehicle on a relatively acceptable road is under 60 km / h.

Let's move on to the phased construction of the all-terrain vehicle.
To begin with, the frame of the all-terrain vehicle was assembled, it was built from square pipes, and then the main elements were already inserted into it. Therefore, the dimensions were taken upon the fact of action without drawings and diagrams. Then the all-terrain vehicle suspension and steering were assembled.

And here is the front view of the hub:

The cameras are taken in size 1200/500 508.

It hasn't snowed that much yet:

This was achieved thanks to the unrealistically low weight of the structure of 300 kg.

But unfortunately there were also disadvantages, for example, in deep snow, the engine was weak, so it was still decided to sacrifice weight in favor of a more powerful engine from Jupiter 5.

The wheel assembly was weighed:

For cooling, an electric fan was added from the radiator of a small Japanese car.

And the warm air from the engine was directed to the heating of the windows. Independent brakes were also installed on the left and right front wheels, this was necessary to overcome the diagonal hanging.

After such upgrades, the front of the car became noticeably heavier, but the dynamics and speed gave the necessary qualities, thanks to the new engine.
Since the wheels were taken from previous models of all-terrain vehicles, it was decided to slightly modernize the wheels:

Minisnowmobile "Ayavrik"

The Ayavrik folding motorized snow scooter is used to move people and move small loads on shallow snow and icy surfaces of water bodies. A motor-transformer is produced and goes on sale with gasoline engines of different power - 6.5 and 9 hp. Due to the difference in engine power, snowmobile models have a number of logical differences from each other: firstly, this is the price, secondly, tractive effort, and thirdly, the dimensions of the engine frame, weight, fuel consumption, etc.

The caterpillar module of the mototransformer is equipped with a capacious luggage compartment made in the form of a box. The front frame is connected to it, with a single-cylinder power unit installed on it. A steering beam is installed on the front frame with the help of special hooks. A block with a seat on one side is inserted into the sides of the rear, and the other is attached to the steering beam. The ski module with a steering mechanism is equipped with a bicycle-type steering wheel with controls.

Torque from the internal combustion engine to the caterpillar is transmitted by means of a chain drive. The engine-mounted, throttle-operated centrifugal clutch provides smooth starting and stopping of the vehicle. The throttle control is located on the steering wheel, like a moped or motorcycle. In view of the absence of a brake, braking is performed by the engine control knob. It is enough to release the gas and the snowmobile will stop.

Minisnowmobile "Rybinka"

Modularity makes it possible to transport a snowmobile disassembled in the luggage compartments of cars with a station wagon body, such as a motorized towing vehicle or a walk-behind tractor, but with one important feature - loading / unloading individual parts greatly simplifies the task, because the heaviest module weighs only 40 kg.

Another positive point is the use of reliable American-made gasoline internal combustion engines, which are provided with a separate warranty.
