This mode is seriously complicated by the fact that

the rear axle is solid ( i . e . , no differential ) .

c . Even in a fairly modest uphill climb , if power is

suddenly applied to cause even modest accelerations , the vehicle will turn over backwards , about the rear wheel axle .

d . The ATC - 110 does not have a front wheel brake . On

some models it is possible to brake the front wheel

without simultaneously braking the rear wheels . If

this happens , the vehicle can turn over forward and

to either right or left .

e . Combinations of the above .

f . In most ATV ' s there is no separate suspension . Instead ,

the tires are relied on to provide shock isolation . The

Sare

possible accidents are more complex , and are strongly

terrain dependent .

The following discussion centers on a , b , and c above .
