ORIGINAL: jlf1961 I never rode one of these things, but I am sure the wheels are supposed to remain attached.
I've rode a 250R Honda 4 wheeler and own a 350X Honda 3 wheeler...and those axles are solid one piece. I've been around other brands and they are the same. So unless the axle decided to break in two places without any stress on it, I figure photoshop strikes again. Now I have seen the wheels come off due to the key not being in the wheel hub axle nut but you can see part of what should be the axles. I belong to an ATV club and have been on rides involving as many as 50+ machines. My ATV is a Yamaha Kodiak 400, which does have the solid rear axle. But many or most of the newer machines do have independent rear axles, using a differential much like those on cars. That said, though, I agree that the pic is Photoshopped. I can't see any scenario where both axles would come out at once.
