An all terrain vehicle having a narrow, single, endless track centrally located and guided about a plurality of wheels which support the vehicle main body. The vehicle main body is comprised of a plurality of body sections, each pivotally connected to one another in series relationship to enable each of the body sections to be laterally bent along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A wheel is suspended from each body section and is captured by the track so that when the vehicle is laterally bent along the longitudinal axis thereof, the endless track is likewise laterally bent, thereby causing the vehicle to change the direction of its course. The track is made from a plurality of series connected cleats. The cleats are made of two pivoted members which admit the endless track to bend concurrently with the pivoting of the body sections. A steering mechanism comprised of diagonal linkages cause each of the body sections to simultaneously move in a pivotal manner.

An all terrain vehicle having a single laterally bendable track which supports a vehicle main body by means of a plurality of track wheels; said main body includes a plurality of body sections series connected together in a manner which admits pivotal movement in a horizontal plane between adjacent body sections; a dual wheel for each body section, means by which ech body section is supported from said dual wheel; means by which said track is captured to said dual wheels; steering means by which all body sections pivot simultaneously, thus bending the track laterally, and causing the vehicle to change course of travel; said steering means includes a diagonal linkage means interconnecting alternate sides of alternate body sections; and means by which two adjacent body sections are caused to pivot respective to one another.
