Ive heard people saying that an atc 110 with some slight mods will float on water with the rider on it. Is this true? If anyone has a pic of a floating trike please post a pic of it i would love to see one floating.

Put 25"-27" tires on it, and gear it appropriately and maybe it would.

Put big enough tires on one and it'll float.

I 'walk' mine thru the creek all the itme.
90 and 110 are a dream, hit the throttle and let them ride thru by themselves.

The bigreds and sx's I walk beside them.

Either barefoot or boots, I just walk beside it with
my hand on the throttle and let the wheels spin a little
then get back on and ride away.

seems like on tire at a time may touch the bottom for a second but surely it would like
to float UPseideDown without my guidance.

Maybe I'll pretend to lose one off the hill with a bunch of people here just to see the looks on their faces when it hits the water

Haven't buried one HOT yet, scared to crack the engine.

oh and always tip it sideways or over to drain water out from wherever.


ps
picture is NOT my bike but I will look for some of those rims for the rest of my life

I have had my 1983 atc200 with 25" tires in the swamp. It floats pretty good when I cross the stream it about 3-4 foot of water, its a bit hard to balance.. I wouldn't trust it in real deep water though.

When i get my Kawasaki back together ill go to the one gas well by my house that had a deep puddle. Ill just tie a rope to the back end and push! See what happens whether it try to float or just stays on bottom.
