  • Patent number: 10710635
    Abstract: A frame structure for an all-terrain vehicle includes upper main frame members and lower main frame members, each upper and lower main frame member extended in a longitudinal direction of the frame structure. The lower main frame members have forward and rearward portions mounted to the upper main frame members and central portions extended in a lateral direction of the frame structure outward of the upper main frame members. First sub-frame members are mounted to the forward and rearward portions of the lower main frame members. The first sub-frame members separate a component space defined by the frame structure into an upper component space and a lower component space. An electric motor is located in the lower component space, and a battery pack is located in the upper component space.

  • Patent number: 10633028
    Abstract: A frame structure for an all-terrain vehicle includes left and right upper main frame members and left and right lower main frame members, each upper and lower main frame member extended in a longitudinal direction of the frame structure. The left and right upper main frame members are horizontally disposed and have upper mounting surfaces. The left and right lower main frame members have forward and rearward portions mounted to the left and right upper main frame members and central portions extended in a lateral direction of the frame structure outward of the left and right upper main frame members. Left and right first sub-frame members are mounted to the forward and rearward portions of the left and right lower main frame members, and are laterally aligned with the left and right upper main frame members in a top view of the frame structure.

  • Patent number: 10369933
    Abstract: An autonomous all-terrain vehicle includes a frame structure, left and right frame rails mounted to the frame structure, and a rack mounted to the frame rails. A forward frame member of the rack includes left and right forward uprights and a forward cross member. The forward uprights include forward mounts each extended inwardly in a lateral direction of the vehicle. A rear frame member of the rack includes left and right rear uprights and a rear cross member. The rear uprights include rear mounts each extended inwardly in the lateral direction. A left rail is disposed between the left uprights of the forward and rear frame members. A right rail is disposed between the right uprights of the forward and rear frame members. The forward and rear left mounts are connected to the left frame rail, and the forward and rear right mounts are connected to the right frame rail.

  • Patent number: 10336370
    Abstract: A frame structure for an all-terrain vehicle includes upper main frame members and lower main frame members extending in a longitudinal direction of the frame structure. The lower main frame members have forward and rearward portions mounted to the upper main frame members and central portions extended in a lateral direction of the frame structure outward of the upper main frame members. A component mounting bracket is mounted to a forward end portion of the upper main frame members, upper forward suspension sub-frame members, and second sub-frame members disposed bridgingly between the upper main frame members and the upper forward suspension sub-frame members. A battery pack charger is mounted to the component mounting bracket in a space between component mounting bracket and a grille.
