=== Small vehicles === Many small vehicles—such as [[snowmobile]]s, [[golf cart]]s, and [[Scooter (motorcycle)|motor scooters]]—use CVTs, typically of the pulley variety. CVTs in these vehicles often use a rubber belt with a non-stretching fixed circumference manufactured using various highly durable and flexible materials, due to the mechanical simplicity and ease of use outweighing their comparative inefficiency. Some motor scooters include a [[centrifugal clutch]], to assist when idling or manually reversing the scooter.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scootnfast.com/scooter/Tuning_mods/Transmission.htm |title=use of clutch with CVT |website=scootnfast.com |access-date=6 January 2012}}</ref> The 1974 [[Rokon (motorcycle manufacturer)#RT340 TCR Automatic/CVT|Rokon RT340 TCR Automatic]] off-road motorcycle was fitted with a snowmobile CVT. The first [[All-terrain vehicle|ATV]] equipped with a CVT was the [[Polaris Inc.|Polaris]] Trail Boss in 1985.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}
