Ukrainian businessman Vladimir Shkolnik and his friend Sergey Samokhvalov became interested in the concept of the SHERP ATV. They bought a Sherp Prototype and tried it on one of their expeditions. Sherp Prototype was constantly breaking down, but its capabilities impressed so much, that in the mid of 2010 they opened factory production of SHERP all-terrain vehicles.

The SHERP is an amphibious ATV

The first and main problem of the Sherp is that it’s not suitable for driving on regular roads. Sherps maximum is about 40 kilometers per hour. But who needs regular intersections and boring highways if the SHERP ATV is amphibious? It has a decent speed of 6 kilometers per hour on water. And even if something goes wrong, you are safe: the sealed body will not let sink. The Sherp itself weighs only 3000 lbs, which makes it the lightest ATV in his category.

You can ride without wheels

Happy owners of the Sherp ATV ask the same question: “Where is the steering wheel here?” Answer: there isn't one. The unit is controlled by two levers as a skid steer. Pull left - turn left. Pull Right - turn right. The brake pedal is also missing. To stop the movement, you need to pull both levers towards you. But this is not the most important difference between the Sherp ATV and an ordinary ATV. Garagashyan's creature, unlike a standard ATV, has enough endurance to drive without two wheels.

Even Kanye West has the Sherp ATV

Even rapper Kanye West has his own Sherp ATV. He organized a show of 10 SHERP ATV column to present his new sneakers from the Yeezy collection. Kaney gifted two of his 10 units to rapper 2 Chainz and pop singer Chris Brown. I wonder if they have the proper drivers category, which are mandatory for driving an ATV?

Sherp ATV has a Canadian competitor

Fat Truck

SHERP ATV is still at the top of the food chain. But every year, Sherp has more and more competitors. And one of them is Canadian FAT-Truck. It looks a little more fancy than the Sherp, but the designer of the Fat-Truck were probably inspired by the design and concept of the SHERP ATV. It will cost you 505 more than SHERP ATV.

But at the same time the Fat-Truck is way more heavier and louder then SHERP ATV.
