SHERP ATV Can Save Lives In Dangerous Conditions

SHERP ATV is bred for the outdoors. Its wheels are buoyant and its hermetically-sealed body prevents water from entering the cabin. The SHERP is able to save lives in hostile conditions such as ice, mud, and deep water.

The Sherp ATV is the life-size Tonka truck you’ve been craving since childhood

The Sherp can basically go anywhere it pleases, whether it be snow, ice, mud, sand, or as the video above shows, the open water. When it’s not swimming through a frigid lake, the ATV can scale objects up to 27.5 inches tall and even use a skid steer system to turn within its own wheelbase. It even manages to look kind of adorable while doing it.

Kanye West has entered the giving mood early this holiday season, and the lucky recipient (and owner of a brand new Sherp ATV) is none other than Chris Brown.

According to Kanye’s manager, Bu Thiam, this was Yeezy’s way of thanking Chris for his 20-year career in the entertainment industry and his many achievements.

“Ye wanted to honor CB & give him his flowers while he’s still alive,” Thiam says on Instagram. “So he gifted him a Yeezy Sherp, congratulating him on 20 years in the game.”

Developed in Kyiv, Ukraine, the SHERP can fit up to 9 people and has a loading capacity of 2,645 lbs, an approach clearance of three feet, can run in water/mud, travel up to 25mph, and is powered by an eco-friendly Doosan D18 engine that provides 55hp/41kW of power. Regarded as the ultimate ATV, the SHERP can often be found in the frigid oil fields of Canada.

The gifted ATV was presented with a custom plaque that read: “For 2 Chainz,” followed by an inscription of Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

SHERP in The SOUTHERN SURVIVAL

“This vehicle will get you out of mud, snow, floods, anything like that. Its the ultimate escape vehicle.”

“So, when you are in water, you deflate the pressure all the way, and it kinda flattens that tire out and creates a paddle effect or whatever. Yeah, it’s freakin’ awesome. Ingenious actually.”
“No matter how many times they tried to get is stuck, they couldn’t”

…the perfect apocalypse survival vehicle

It looks almost like a Tonka toy, with comically huge tires and odd proportions. It weighs a bit less than 3,000 pounds, propelled by a 44-horsepower 1.5-liter Kubota diesel engine. It’s not fast, topping out at 28 mph (3.7 mph on water), but given the terrain it can cover that’s plenty. It comes with a 15.3-gallon fuel tank, enough to run all day, with additional fuel tanks available to let you go on truly epic adventures.

Want to drive over anything? You’ll need the Sherp ATV

Although it has a small 1.5-liter diesel engine that produces a minuscule 44 horsepower, the Sherp weighs about as much as a Toyota Corolla, so it’s just enough to get it up to its 28 mph top speed on land. On water it’ll do 3.7 mph. While not much, that’s a lot more than the aforementioned Corolla can do on water.

The Sherp ATV is a 99-inch-tall behemoth—that’s 11 inches taller than the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4 —that sits on four oversize wheels built for off-roading. It’s 99 inches wide, too. The truck can climb up a 35-degree angle and has 23 inches of ground clearance. It’s powered by a four-cylinder diesel 44-hp engine and a five-speed manual (#savethemanuals). It has a maximum speed of 24.5 mph—and a maximum speed of 3.7 mph on the water, if it comes to that.

Watch Jay Leno and Kevin Hart go off-roading in a Ukrainian ATV

As host of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage,” the comedian has driven a tank with Arnold Schwarzenegger, done stunt driving with Jamie Foxx and he’s even driven a Tesla Cybertruck with Elon Musk in Musk’s Boring Company underground test tunnel in Los Angeles.

But Leno said one of his favorite (and scariest) excursions was the time he went off-roading with comedian Kevin Hart in a Ukrainian-made ATV called the SHERP.
