Brush up on your Russian <<<<<
russian engineer eduard luzyanin has assembled the HAMYAK ATV, an all-terrain, mono-tracked motorcycle. the HAMYAK
or HOMYAK — meaning hamster in russian — was named after the rodent
because of its external resemblance to the animal as well as its ‘unprecedented mobility’. equipped with a 150cc engine made for chinese scooters, the small vehicle is in fact, the size of a child’s bicycle.
The return of the Kettenkrad just as Kalashnikov borrowed from the MP-44.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Ural borrowed from the BMW..
DeleteYou have never had your hands on a MP-44 if you think the AK has anything in common with it
DeleteMust be fun to try turning
ReplyDeleteExactly, just like the German SdKfz 2. Better off with a Ural 2WD motorcycle.
DeleteMust be a proof of concept thing. Now if he makes two parallel smaller treads and adds a brake/differential drive combination to each side, he could steer the thing quite handily without losing the off road tread concept. A skateboard hamster tank?
ReplyDeleteNot big enough to pull stumps, only travels in a straight line, what's the use other than to waste $ and look cool? As a proof of concept it works. If he adds a transmission and dual tracks making it steerable... then maybe it'd be useful.
ReplyDeleteSteer by tilting?

I was thinking that might work well in snow. I was expecting video of the bike in snow, too bad.
DeleteYes, because there's no other option. You COULD try dragging your foot on the turning side... but that would require shoes. LOTS of shoes. No flip-flops.
DeletePretty much. Same concept as a snowboarding.
Delete-lg
Would be useful in snow but as others above point out, steerage?
ReplyDeleteI still want one.
It's a snowmobile minibike. Cute, but not impressive.
ReplyDeleteCool, and done neatly. Now do steering.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting to scroll through the comments to see if I was the only one who wondered how the hell you steer the thing. I would like to thank you all for the confirmation.
ReplyDeleteLook up “Tote Goat”. Same concept, slow and powerful, made from the late ‘50s to late ‘60s. Could climb as steep as it could get traction.
