From the engine to the positioning, everything came with a Honda patent, so the other manufacturers either had to pay Honda a sizeable chunk to use this kind of tech in their trikes or come up with something radically different.We are one of the largest dealers on the East Coast. The reason for the nearly 10-year delay between the Honda ATC and the others is that when Takeuchi dreamed up the “US90” as it was called in the R&D department of Honda in Japan, the company patented just about everything about the trike. Soon the market flooded with ATVs from Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Polaris. Given that this was an all-terrain trike, there is only so much “terrain” to be explored in urban settings, so the ATV’s utilitarian functions became a hit with the farmers.īy the ‘80s, it wasn’t just the Honda ATC anymore as other Japanese and non-Japanese manufactures also jumped in. All of this is before the dealers discovered that they could make a killing selling these to the rural populace. Sales averaged around 10,000 per year and by 1978, Honda had managed to sell some 150,000 of these little trikes. The Honda ATC, for all its faults (getting to that later, below) sold like nothing ever before. RELATED: This Is The Real Reason Why The 3 Wheeled ATC Was Banned In The US In hindsight, this was the beginning of the end for the ATC. These low-pressure tires absorbed all impact and so Honda sold the All-Terrain Cycle, or rather its three-wheeled All-Terrain-Vehicle minus an actual suspension.Įven this was all okay, till Honda decided that since the kids were already eyeing this minuscule trike, and it was perfect for little humans, it was time to introduce the Honda ATC 70, only for kids. Such was the sidewall power of these tires that it created enough speed differential to turn, operated only on a solid rear axle. The balloon-like tires may have looked funny, but they came with a certain mechanical logic. A dual-range four-speed transmission with an automatic clutch made the rather bulbous back tires and the single front one ride over anything. Dressed in four candy colors, the Honda ATC 90 debuted in America in 1970 at just $595, with its 90-cc four-stroke mill jetting just 7 horsepower.
