I've studied Computer Aided Design in an University and have been working with steel for the last 9 years as a hobby. One time when I was still drawing blueprints for a company that produces wooden furniture for log houses in your homeland Norway I had the idea to draw and build my own set of ATV tracks. So a few months later I quit my job and started prototyping.
First set was a track kit for my solo motorcycle (). The second set of tracks was for that same motorcycle I converted into a three wheeler (). I sold both of these sets to get me a proper four wheeler. Well, used, but nevertheless a proper 4x4 ATV.
I made a full CAD drawing of it and started building:
The laser cut drive cogs:
Welded the main shafts in the lathe to ensure a proper alignment:
Frames coming together:
Anti-rotation hardware:
Track manufacturing:
Finished powder-coated product:
And they work like a charm:
I made a 5 part video series of the production process which is located here: and you can see the tracks in action here: .
Hopefully you enjoy watching my tracks as much as I enjoyed building and now riding them. Thanks for checking the topic and nice ATV rides for all of you out there!
