Side-by-sides: A brief history

The ATV category we call side-by-sides was invented by John Deere, the agricultural machinery manufacturer. Several manufacturers quickly followed suit, borrowing the newly laid path created by John Deere, including the Canadian manufacturer Can-Am.

Differences between a side-by-side and a regular ATV (4- wheeler)

What exactly are the main features that tell apart a side-by-side from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV or 4- wheeler)? Contrary to an ATV, a side-by-side has:

  • 2- Seats installed side-by-side.
  • Roll bars.
  • A rear bed like the one you’d find on a pickup.
  • A towing capacity.

Hunters, fishermen and those working in agriculture eagerly use their side-by-sides to carry all of their gear or equipment.
