First Look at the Hamyak ATV, a Mono-Tracked All Terrain Vehicle

The Hamyak (Russian for hamster) is an all terrain vehicle like you’ve probably never seen before, powered by a 150cc scooter engine. Its mono-tracked design is perfect for snow, sand, mud as well as other rugged terrain, but attempting to maneuver it on pavement could be trouble since you need to pin the throttle and transfer your weight to side for grip. At 187-pounds, it can easily be stored in the back of a pickup truck and can hit a top speed of 27 mph.

When cruising at a comfortable 12.3 mph, you can expect to consume around 1-liter of fuel per hour, but with 10-liter main tank and 5-liter canister out back, that should be plenty for a typical adventure. Other features include storage space in the front / rear trunks and a standard set of tools, including 15m of rope, a folding saw, hatchet, flashlight, compass and a thermos. These are built to order, so currently, only two are known to exist.
