The ultimate go anywhere machine, all six wheels driven, skid steer, floats & swims in water, fully sealed & goes where you can't walk!!! Suitable motors ; 500cc - 1000cc bike.

The machine for the adventurous at heart. The go-anywhere vehicle that takes you to those hard to get to areas that used to take days of hard bush-walking to reach.

All six wheels are driven to give maximum traction in places even a four wheel drive won’t go. Not only is it six wheel drive but it is also amphibious. The Six Wheel Drive floats and swims across swamps, streams, dams and rivers.

A simple machine to build using a motorcycle Motor for power and a car Differential for splitting the Drive and Chains to all six wheels.

An ideal machine for exploring the outback, a practical work vehicle for the farm, for the keen fisherman or the adventurous prospector, The Six Wheel Drive will take you where you can’t walk.
