Not many commonly available tracked vehicles fit within the dimensional constraints for internal carriage, but a handful do exist. In general terms, tracks provide greater traction and lower ground pressure…
The earlier posts examined motorcycles, ATVs, and side-by-side UTVs, all characterised by a maximum width of approximately 1.6m. This is a key dimensional break point as it allows easier loading…
Most Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) designs tend to follow a familiar engine front format, with each manufacturer adjusting the proportion of seating and load carriage space to suit user and…
ATVs, motorcycles and e-bikes are ideal internally carried vehicles. E-Bikes and Motorcycles E-Bikes Folding bicycles such as the well-known Brompton or the less well-known Montague Paratrooper would allow a landed force to move 40-60 km…
Light role forces that exploit the speed and reach of helicopters face the reality that when on the ground, they are the opposite of having speed and reach. Once landed,…
Do military motorcycles and e-bikes have a future in the British Army, a few thoughts on the subject.
Multidrive Vehicles have a complex and multi-faceted history, but it is a fascinating history nonetheless. From a UK defence perspective, they designed and produced several innovative products that many think…
